DETERMINE YOUR CIRCLE

Image
  I was going through my telephone address book dated 2008/2014 yesterday and discovered that I was no longer in contact with 90% of the people I had recorded therein. It is not like they became a bad person all of a sudden but there is every plausibility that we outgrew each other's relevancy. Now this is the real deal. Life is in stages and so is growth and development. Consciously or unconsciously, there are numbers of behaviour cum people you leave as you grow. You are not doing this because you feel you can just use and dump them but solely because you need people who shares the same ideology, dreams and visions with you. The people you surround yourself with goes a long way in determining the rate at which you achieve your purpose. However, I smile when I hear people say they keep small circle because they don't want drama. Of a truth, no one loves drama.

WRITING AS A THERAPY

More often than not, people have asked what writing entails to me personally. It is a kind of simple question yet complicated. It is of no doubt that writing is the most complex activity out of the four language skills and it is developed with gradual but constant practice. However, beyond this surface definition, writing means different things to various individuals. Writing is fun! I would not dispute that but writing goes beyond the ability to create words with a pen on a paper. It entails committing the content of one's heart, with coordination from the brain and the hands, into a paper (paper here may be your phone or laptop's notebook). What is writing to Mobola? To me, writing is therapeutic and soulful. I just find that encompassing peace when I pick up my pen to write.
