The struggle to maintain consistency in life is truly bewildering. It has been over a year since I made my first post here, and I must admit, I feel a hint of embarrassment that it has taken me this long to share my second newsletter. Nevertheless, life persists, regardless of our pace.
I enjoyed reading your thoughts. It was a brilliant breakdown of the desire to maintain consistency and the paralysis caused by the unpredictability of life in general and the very personal life struggles you experience. The fact that you allocated your energy to doing the action and had some energy left over to talk about doing it is also very admirable. Can't wait to read more of your posts 😊
The Pen is strong with this one 🪶 What makes good writing is not so much fancy words or styltic blabla, but rather vulnerability, rhythm, and message. All of those can be found here. And the message is universal, I do not have sickle cell, but I can identify with the struggle to keep consistency and the struggles in my life that cause unpredictability. Often I take so much energy trying to control the uncontrollable, rather I’ll give myself grace, and when I can move to action rather than contemplate how and why.
This I my favourite line : “The fear of negative judgment, while natural, should not discourage me from embracing growth and evolution.” 🙏🏾
I honestly admire how you can still pick yourself up after a crisis and choose to do what makes you happy. Consistency is quite overrated imo but the fact that you choose YOU, choose to continue doing what makes you sane despite everything, shows more character and confidence that you have in yourself.
This is genuinely brilliant writing. I think people often underestimate how much of a blessing it is to not have a chronic illness and yet if thrown into such circumstance would immediately give up. Your persistence is inspiring even in the face of constant unpredictability.
