Welcome to my Rambles

This post is dedicated to my good friend Miss Onakoya, who has decided to force me outside my comfort zone. Miss Onakoya well done.. I shall not be forgetting this... 

It has been 6 years since someone first told me that I could start a blog, 4 since I decided to actually give it a go and 3 months since I became serious about it. Welcome to my thoughts. Now I know there will be many questions after my dramatic intro, the top one why it took me so long to do this and honestly I think the answer is “Fear”.

I have a big secret ok a not so big secret a few people know and a few people just think it comes with me. In this case they are right it does come with me. I am dyslexic. What does this mean, it means a lot of different things and google will do a good job in explaining. But in my case it means I struggle with reading, writing and spelling. Now I am not saying this to get the sympathy vote, dyslexia is far more common than most people realise just ask Jamie Oliver, Albert Einstein and Noble prize winner Pierre Curie. It isn’t a big deal; it just means you have to work a little harder.

I am mentioning this so you can understand why I was afraid to start this blog. I was afraid because I thought how can I do this when I know my shortcomings and I let that fear take over and stop me from doing what I really wanted to do. But today I guess I have slayed my Goliath because here I am writing.

Now I am not entirely sure how these weekly posts are going to go or what I am going to write about. Aside from cooking, travelling & photography, I do not have that many hobbies that I can write about nor am I that vested in any of them to even dedicate weekly write ups to them. But one thing I am extremely good at is being observant, a skill you pick up when you are trying to keep up with everybody else so how about I write about that.

How about I write about the various things I observe and talk to you guys about it. I am good at telling stories. I will try and keep it short because I do ramble on a bit; I have been known to write 3 paged letters. Please don’t judge me… if you read them you would know why they are that long.

Anyway enough chit chatting, let’s do this. Welcome everyone to Life According to My Rambles. .
