My first attempt at blogging was in 2018, my best friend and i were at school studying on a saturday afternoon/evening. And I created a whole site and posted my very first piece titled “I love you but I gotta let you go”. My blog name back then was “The Gift Kronicles”, due to life’s unfortunate te circumstances that piece became my very first and last post.
But writing for me did not start in 2018. My very first diary was gifted to me by my older Brother Robens, and that little book held every inch of my teenage journey. Sadly I lost it, but I can remember finding purpose in writing down the goals and dreams I had for the future. Those desires were something I believed no one could ever steal from me. As the years went by, I kept on writing and made it my business to always find time for it, and it soon became more than just a hobby, writing for me was a lifestyle. A lifestyle that I fell in love with, and never wanted to let go of.
Fast Forward to a few years later, i finally got back the strength to blog again, not write, because i never stopped. I just was not in the right state of mind to release those intimate words to the public, but who knows I might post a few of them here and there. As I grew older and became more wise I realized that I wanted to start blogging again, but I wanted a whole different approach to take place.
Softlee Spoken came to mind, and i cannot even think of where and how but the name popped in my mind and i knew instantly i had to start and i did. In the background of things I handled the proper documentation for security and protection of my brand, and I had the courage to get back in the race. Not a race to compete with the world or with someone else but a race to better pace myself and not get worn out by the unexpected circumstances of life. A race without an expiration date or finish line.
As I become more vulnerable and share my knowledge and life experiences, I can only hope that God uses these words as a way to motivate someone else on their journey. Dedicating my time and life to writing is not nor has it been the easiest of journeys, but it is regarding, and that is all I look forward to.
Love always Softlee spoken
