Well, it's officially the 2nd day of Septemeber, ask yourselves where has August gone? For me, August has always been an exciting month of the year as we get a hint of an amazing heatwave, your preparing yourself for a summer holiday you've been waiting for months, some of us wear less clothing, I say some of us just in case your fighting with the aircon in your office like myself, but on the upside, there is also a dash of rain to cool us down and lets not forget the plants do need watering lol.
On the other hand, it has not stopped myself and my companion gallivanting across London having fun. We live on the momentum of enjoying one's self and living life to the fullest. Since August began, I have been up and out, such as going on a holiday to Portugal, coming back and throwing myself into work, spending nearly every other waken weekend busy and socialising. It can be a struggle at times, because when does the day of relaxation appear.
Only a week and a half ago we all experienced a glorious bank holiday weekend with my loved ones at Notting Hill Carnival and nothing but the amazing weather to make it perfect. Some people spent the time with their families, went on trips, I attended the event and covered head to toe in watered-down chocolate following a carnival truck (float), living my best life.
It's not everyone's cup of tea but I believe its always good to experience things and why not dance in the street, its the one time of the year, that's if you can make the time but I wasn't alone my companions were there as well with mixtures of drinks galore in our rucksacks and embracing the joyous sound of Caribbean music from steel pans, various sound systems and the beautiful vibrant colours of the carnival trucks riding along as they pass through the streets of Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove. I couldn't ask for a blessed weekend.
Now that I have the time to relax and put my feet up, I feel its the time to get back to my writing which I love to do. Sometimes I have to ask myself why haven't I made the conscious effort to take an hour or 2 and motivate my time to put my fingers to work on that keyboard, because I thoroughly believe once I get going, I can't stop, I'm on a roll.
In the past, I have found myself hitting upon the same issue of not having distant material to write about or the motivation has been lost. Why do I find myself asking this question like you can hear the self-doubt in my voice, but what I have realised is it's ok to have doubts but don't let it come between your passion of wanting to do something worth it.
Take risks and seize the day as people say. You only have one life and I can honestly say I choose to live it. Take the time to make room to fit your interests in your daily schedule, gaining that confidence to say out loud its ok to have doubts, now that I have self-awareness of the issue, the next step for this month is not to give a damn about what I write, just write what I feel and hopefully everything should flow naturally.
