Under Construction

Keni last shared their writing on Jan 8, 2023 First Saturdays
The first Saturday of every month, I meet with two groups of ladies. One is a book club and the other is a group I became a part of after an online class. 

The book club is mostly Ethiopians and we read a book that has been voted by the...

Retrospective
Privacy

Before I started writing daily, I was a much more private person. In many ways, I still am. There are things that are off limits. I would never consider writing about them or sharing them on a public platform. 

When I saw Brene Brown's TED talk about vulnerability, I wondered...

Social Media

I find myself on social media even when I don't realize it. I am very aware that it is addictive and not good for mental health. I have done my best to avoid social media as much as I can. 

However, it seems like everything is marching towards that format....

Here to stay

I just saw this news report from Israel. They seem to be actively making their citizens take a booster shot. Even that will not be enough beyond 6 months. 

The report itself seemed very scary. The vaccine isn't a guarantee anymore. And to have this type of a mutation in...

Retrospective
Oct 3rd

About 2-3 weeks ago, I made a list of things I wanted to do by a certain date. It was a very detailed list. I made sure that I incorporated a lot of things I want to work on. 

Creating the list was the easy and fun part. I love...

Strategy

I belong to the hard working people category. Not very strategic ones. 
I have come to appreciate that there is some benefit to hard work. But as I get older, I need to learn how to be strategic. Time being the most expensive asset we can have, hard working takes...

Recovery

Yesterday, I attempted to write 2 more posts on Medium for the writing challenge. There were a total of 4 prompts and I took forever to just complete one prompt. I had wanted to write one post about my writing journey.... starting all the way from 200Wad until now. 

Just...

As promised, here is the LINK. The title is "Till Trust Do Us Part".

I believe I have 24 hours to make any changes. I want to write my plan b and...

Filler post

I am having panic attacks about forgetting to write a post and messing up my streak. 

This is a filler post. 
I am still editing. I think I finally have a working title figured out for the Medium writing competition. For the image, I whipped something up with Canva myself....

Tired

 Between yesterday and today, I spent a majority of my time writing, rewriting, editing and re-editing. 

Trying to wrap up my story for the Medium challenge that is due by Tuesday. When I wrote the first draft, the word count was close to 2000. So many crazy things happened in...

I am in trouble

I feel a certain type of anxiety as I type this. I made the fatal error of opening Medium.com. I was welcomed by a post recommendation that just grabbed my attention.

LINK.

The title, the image, the content - EVERYTHING was a different tier. 
I immediately got deflated. How am I...
