Random Thoughts by Ezinne Ikoro

• I have never written anything on this blog, not one sentence not even when Vera threatens to remove anyone who doesn’t write up to two posts per month. I always say _two writeups is not a big deal, I’ll do it_ and by the time the next month comes nothing still. It’s been very long since I wrote anything meaningful or anything that many people approved of. Writing this now, I realise that I always used to rate how good my writing was by what people had to say about them and how many people engaged with them. I recently even did that but now that I know, I don’t care what anyone thinks about my writing, I’ll still write. I’ll probably just find someone to edit what I write because I don’t know where the right place to put the commas and fullstops is. Many people find themselves after they must have encountered very bad experiences and I think it’s reasonable. We move too fast in life and sometimes the only thing that can slow us down and make us see things or feel things or even notice that the world does not actually revolve around us is when things go differently from how we would have imagined or planned for them to go. How do I explain this? I would typically never sit down on a Thursday afternoon by 3pm writing down random thoughts from my head to post on a blog except for the fact that I have experienced something bad and now I can slow down and think and wish and write down how I really feel. I’ll probably press delete after writing all of this because I don’t want to seem gloomy but no, I’ll post it before I get to change my mind.
  I was talking about how we humans just rush through life without slowing down to think or do the most random things like write which used to be a hobby and so when bad things happen to us or things that stop us from moving to the next stage of our lives we have no choice than to stop and experience the pain of disappointment probably because at that point in time we place all our worth on achieving that feat . This makes me ask myself;do bad things happen to us so we can stop rushing and feel? Are unfortunate events put in place to create a much needed balance? We never know!
  I don’t think this is the typical first post everyone else made but this is mine. I’ll stop here till next time, I hope there is a next time!
