A ROSE THAT IS GROWING ON CONCRETE.

Hey cuties! I trust you loves are doing good and are still sane. Well... if you have been following my 21 days of blogging challenge you know that I did not publish a blog post yesterday I apologize for that and I will address that shortly. Did I fail the challenge?.

I have always felt like an outcast from my peers because I am always the one "oboniswayo", I am always chasing something or creating something just dreaming and actually doing something about the dream. When I started blogging in 2016 I did it for the fun of it even though I knew the potential blogging had ( I was doing my research since high school ) but unfortunately those around me didn't know anything about blogging or what blogging was so I got discouraged because the platform I was using at the time was proving to be hard for me to navigate and I did not get the support I expected especially from those close to me. In fact people were actually making fun of me.

Fast forward to late 2019 I recreated my blog from a different platform and it turned out exactly how I have always envisioned it but Sis was scared to actually do the work because she was scared of the negativity and rejection she previously experienced. I am Sis, Sis is me!. But I got the courage, the drive and the inspiration to JUST DO IT.

I love everything I do with all my heart it makes me so happy. I love waking up in the morning for a shoot, creating stories, writing , doing research for interviews or photo-shoots and working with different creatives to produce something magical and mind blowing. Sometimes I do ask myself if it is worth it or I am chasing a pipe dream like I have been told before. At times people don't even care to look at the work that I'd have spent time and resources on. Then when I don't receive the success that I would like to get from doing these things, I ask myself "Is it really worth it?"

Reality is, unfortunately, people will not support you in the early stages and it doesn't matter how amazing the content is. But the day you get to the top everyone will definitely want to be close and celebrate with you.

This post is neither a cry for help post nor a pity party. This post is for those who are feeling discouraged or like a failure because they are not where they want or should be in life. It is for those who are scared to chase their dreams because they feel inadequate or scared of "what people will say", this post is for you.

I just want to remind you that you DOING GOOD SWEETY!. You are touching someone's life out there and that is everything. They are all watching keep doing what you doing, start that business, do that thing that you have always wanted to do. Do it for you! you can and it is possible for you too.

The best gift you can give yourself is believing in your self and following your heart because at the end of the day you will be the one who is left with regrets, people will keep on doing what they do, Talk. If there is one thing that you can take away from me is never stop fighting for your dreams and for yourself, whatever that you put your heart into do it to your best abilities.

A huge thank you to everyone that has been following my journey and I apologize for disappointing you yesterday but I won't lie i needed that break and I got to put things into perspective. I am grateful for your continuous support.
