TRUDDIE'S DIMENSION

These past days my writing mojo has been off. Coming up with something to write every other week is really not easy. I respect authors or novelists who sit and write paragraphs and paragraphs every day. Like how do stories flow and how don't they use up all their ideas? My brain locks at around 10 paragraphs. Even those are quite a lot. Anyway, it wasn't a matter of not having content. I really did not have the energy to type words. I've been opening up a new blog post page and thinking otherwise. Therapeautic as writing is, I just felt so heavy to type anything. But like relationships, I have learnt not to force writing. If I am in no mood, I am in no mood. But ooh well, these are part of life motions( I should probably stop explaining myself everytime this happens...He...he). I came across this ironic post about the twenties. It being a whole decade of being in our physical prime and mental rock bottom. I truly agree especially as I edge toward the late twenties. I find...

I particularly like Facebook more than any other social media platforms because of the varied ways people express themselves through words. With how algorithms work, you can bump into amazing content by talented people. Anyway, while enjoying my dose of Facebook one day, I came across a post which said something about how the anger we've carried since our childhood poisons us and how we have to find ways to lighten our body. The post went on to say how most of us don't know where to start when it comes to finding ways to let go but it also pointed out that you can begin by writing down what freedom looks like to you. That is a nice place to start I think. Here's what my thoughts are. Apart from the collective kind of freedom we desire which has been constitutionalized, there are different ways in which freedom is personal to each one of us. The way we view this kind of personal freedom has/is shaped by our childhood, our upbringing and the experiences we've had so far...

There is one thing I've never asked nor ever been asked. And that is giving people advice about relationships when asked or asking people about what I should do when there are issues in my relationship. I think people always think twice before asking me because the most I can say is do what you want and probably add a laugh. You give someone some advice that they should walk away from their partner and Lo and Behold the next thing you hear is that they got back together. They would probably be laughing their asses off about you and your 'stupid' advice. So yeah, I don't have the energy to waste words. Looking back at my relationships, the one thing I can say I enjoyed was that kind of privacy. There were times when I was pissed, mad and shaking with fury at my partner but I never at one point reached out to anyone and neither did my significant other to ask for the way forward. The moment you involve other people in your relationship squabbles and decisions that is whe...

Simple joys Sometimes I feel like the world is moving so fast I can't catch up. It can get crazy honestly because there is less and less time to filter out the world and find some peace or some emotional stability. If we could, all of us would go for therapy but we all know how genuine therapy is expensive. Nevertheless, there are things we can do to take care of ourselves the best we can. I'll share some tips or activities which can be incorporated in your daily life to help bring you back to your inner self. I practise some or most of them. Some I haven't brought myself to do but there is proof from other people or literature that they work. Here goes; 1. Music We underestimate the power of music sometimes. But how powerful is music really? It's simple and complex at the same time. For one, our memory of songs or music isn't stored in the same area of the brain where our memory of things we see or learn in class e.t.c is stored. That pretty much explains why w...

  I just learnt the other day that fingers don't have muscles. Like the movement of fingers comes all the way from the forearm. I mean how cool is that? Same principle applies to the toes. We never really stop learning don't we? I have been looking at my fingers differently in a cool way ever since. It just got me  thinking as to how we look at life differently when we get to experience certain things. You just realize that there is no one way that life goes. There is no one way to reach to where we want to be. There is no one way to handle certain things. The knowledge you use now won't necessarily be the knowledge you'll use later. For example I can't picture myself taking my kids to a boarding primary school. I've been there. My experience was not that great. I missed my parents. I missed being carefree because that school was very limiting. I feel like I missed a huge chunk of my childhood and I can't imagine doing that to any of my children. I did com...

  Just Let me be, I am not that easy. I have been lost, I have been found, Yet to get lost again. I try to trust, To let people in, But it is so hard, They never understand. My ground is covered in shards of glass, For every step, my feet bleed. My heart has been stretched to its limits, With thorns piercing to every beat, And my eyes are dry, All I feel is pain. These walls around me, Are to keep me in, It is so cold in here, But it feels so safe. Understand this, I don't want to touch you, You are pure and sweet, My demons will tear you apart, They will burn you. So before you attempt me, Can you stand the heat? Are you willing to share my agony? Are you ready for all this? If not, Just let me be.

  Siberian Husky   I saw guinea pigs for the first time two weeks ago and their cuteness reminded me of how much I've missed having a pet. I am not an impulse buyer by nature but I'm sure if I had the cash I'd buy those guinea pigs. My kids better not read this in future because if they happen to ask for a pet it would be very hard to say no to them. I'm afraid I'll have a zoo for a home...haha If there's one thing I am sure of is my love for animals. But if I was to answer whether I'm cat person or a dog person when it comes to pets, I am definately a dog person. I mean cats are all cute, furry-purry, godly and low maintenance but I find them quite indifferent emotionally. To me cats always look like they're saying "I am going to sit at your favourite spot and stare out the window for an hour. I'll wait for you to give me food then I'll disappear for like a day or two. I will then come back sit at your favourite spot again and ignore you ...
