53: Maybe I’m actually all that

So i have been writing on Substack for a couple of months now, and people have been people. You know, the think piece sharing of how i can improve my writing, better punctuations, better sentence structure and maybe even use AI to improve the communication, and honestly I have tried a couple of them, it led to a lost art because I ended up not sounding like Mena. You know, especially when you use that Yeye Ai to “improve” your piece.

Reflecting on the journey so far, with almost 200 subscribers and an active comment section of people from the tribe that somehow sees the messages through the grammatical error and shitty punctuations, and to the ones who lie to me and say I’m a badass writer, thank you. I see you.

But maybe through the doubt, i am actually doing something right to have all of you, constantly going through my content and constantly engaging. Maybe I’m all that after all, lol.

Crazy how we can get so fixated on our inadequacy that we sometimes loose sight of the fact that “we no actually small” and we sef Dey try. Because for the mare fact that you can write of 50 different topics, you can have 20+ content on your page and have people follow, like and even if the only comment is from your bestie or your parent, clap for yourself. If it’s easy everyone will do it.

Oh shoot, pardon my manners. Happy new month, and i hope this month gives us a better experience than the previous. But i wont lie, the only reason i am mentioning a happy new month is because I wanted to talk about starting the new month by running half a marathon, that is 21.1KM and i thought i was in an extremely poor form until i saw others stats at completion. Total shits, event the elite runners. The road had crazy elevation and this made everybody struggle. In that moment and i am like… so no be only me.

I call this experience joint suffering, when you realize that others are also going through a lot, is kind of a mood lifter, but we might not get that experience in every situation, we will need to dig deep and realize that regardless of what is happening right now, the setbacks and maybe sometimes they disappointments. You are still the shit. You are not all that as how? Better come of it.
