Everything Within

First blog post in over a year, there has been a lot going on and frankly I haven’t had the time to be in front of a screen pouring my mind into anything. This was a promise but now that I’m here I don’t exactly know what to put down. So ill just talk about something random, though I have no idea how entertaining that would be.

I’ll talk about my time since my last blog post.

2019 as a year was a lot to handle, there were the pleasing experiences, the downs, the smiles I shared with friends, the things I discovered and dived fully into and the many late nights I kept.

I got fully invested in anime last year; I saw a lot of shows that year. Demon slayer was actually the first unpopular show I discovered at first and honestly I liked it. It seemed pleasing at first watch, the animation was pretty good, storyline seemed intriguing and everything seemed unique.

Looking back I see now that it wasn’t exactly something special, an honest 6/10 at best, carried by good animation and a very toxic fan base. As much as I say it isn’t special it was what started my addiction and fed my insomnia on most nights. Starting it was an entire journey on its own; if I was to describe it I’d say its finding that book sparked your interest, a book that would eventually push you into being a full blown reader.

2019 made me a full blown addict,

Next important discovery were E-books. Well to be more accurate I had discovered them for quite a while, but it was at this point I began to escape more and more into books. Placing myself in the shoes of the main character, reading, understanding and most times agreeing with the views of the villain. I wasn’t so big on romantic books, thrillers, sci-fi, action and mystery books all did it for me. I had a lot of different experiences with a lot of different books, one of the best things I got invested in.

New Music

Everyone I know had been a “Music-head” right from time, but never actually me. I started my music journey in late 2016 I think but even at that I was still localized. Moving to school opened my mind well, my ears if were being more accurate to different sounds. Last year I started discovering and listening to more sounds. I discovered Bazzi; I got addicted to Post Malone and started appreciating the words in music more. It was frankly at this point I fully dived into music; found eargasm’s, made playlist and just became a fan of a lot of people. I’m still on my journey but it was one of the best experiences I ever made.

When it comes to nasty experiences, one comes to mind. 

When I had my phone stolen, didn’t happen once but twice and each time I felt like a fool. First occurrence was one Friday evening I was on my way home I picked my phone to check for time before putting it back into my pocket. Then while I was entering a bus I paid no attention to my surroundings, I got in and felt a funny wave of air hit me. I touched both my pockets and felt emptiness and I almost went mad. I searched frantically, checked my pockets multiple times but my phone did no magically appear. I took another passenger’s phone and called and of course it was switched off. I went home feeling stupid and frankly pained because I used to brag with the fact that I’d never been stolen from.

About 3 weeks later I think I got a new one and started the addiction journey again. Retrieved my old data got new books, new music, new everything. That didn’t last long though because barely a month and a half later it was stolen.

Not the most stupid moment in my life but it ranks in my top 5. Nothing too entertaining, I was getting food and forgot my phone on the counter, dropped my plate and by the time it hit barely 10 seconds later my phone was already gone.

I lost my appetite instantly, I was just utterly dumbfounded. My friends tried to console me telling me there was nothing I could do but I knew it was my fault.

Well there was a lot last year but these periods were when it felt like my year peaked

Hope I get time to blog a bit more this year but first I have to find actual content. Till whenever we meet next, don’t forget to sanitize and wear your masks
