What now?

What are you doing with the alphabets?’ asked people. 

I don’t know’ said I. 
**** 
And I indeed did not know! 

From A-Z, everyday I picked up my phone (yes, I started writing with my phone) to write, I’d feel a little afraid because I would think of how the previous alphabet was simply the best I could have done and how I never could top that. 

But I think topped it every time. Life is easy to understand if you’re willing to believe in its simplicity. I always want to learn from my experiences in life; sour or sweet, and from this series I have learned 

  • To trust the bigger Man inside of me: like I said, until I picked up my phone every day, I didn’t know what I’d write; not even the topics. I used to form the topics as I wrote and I gave myself little or no time to think deep about them.  I’d just type the first word and the stories will develop. 
  • To see the potential in everything. Can you imagine that I wrote something substantial on letter X??? Wow. I’m never looking down on anyone again. If only we would try harder on people who seem impossible to teach; to love; to care for; to bless… We would definitely see great results. 
  • People care! Thank you to all the people who read and commented; and to those who didn’t comment but just read and to those who referred others; you guys always made my heart race and my face smile. 

I called Debo this night and as we spoke, I told him that with the end of the alphabet series,  I felt like someone who just lost her job and was now trying to find her way. 

It’s daunting to try something different when what you’re doing works fine. But try, I will – I have no choice anyway. What use is life if it’s same old hum-drum living? Of what use is a talent if it becomes routine?
I’m currently writing my exams now and I honestly need a no-brainer scheme for the  articles I’ll write this period. 

I’ll probably stick with writing on the primary colors (as advised by Debo) or something else. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
