kef.

The name of who I call my mentor.

And I can say I have so ranted to him he could have just sighed and said something like I m very tired of this girl, but like I always tell him, you can't throw me away.

Now, why did I write about him today?

I promised myself to write and publish every day, and I can assure you that I write every day, but then I never seem to publish it.

Because it tends to get wider with each documentation of the thought process, I have to break the thought process down.

I remembered toward the end of last year, kef committed himself to a 100-day writing challenge which I inspired and we both discussed, though he said he does not remember.

Yet I remember where I was that day … hey!!!, don’t look at me that way, I am not trying to brag yunno.

But the juice and yumminess of this peppered turkey dipped in ketchup that I want to give you is ….

Kef never missed a day from that day.

Asin, he showed up every single day …

He’s so dedicated to this that he said that he write 14 days topic prior and publish them per day.

And I told him that I am proud of him because I truly am.

Now, let's talk about me.

I have been consistent since the beginning, then I realize the why’s for the both of us are very different.

And what we write,

Our way of expression is very different.

He is a very simple deep guy

I am the overthinking deep girl

One thought will always lead to another that could make me write an entire book if I am not been careful.

Then he asked me, what kind of writer are you, and I can tell you for free you could guess the answer I gave him

I DON’T KNOW

Because for real, I do not know….

Was already going to the point where I want to start coming up with something, and he said;

Glory, keep writing and you will find the THING your writing stands for.

He is right. I do KNOW THE KIND OF WRITER I AM.

Don’t ask me, because I DON’T KNOW

But its like glimpses, it looks like an illusion,

It comes and goes, like a baby that knows how he feels but can't express themselves

With time they get clarity for each expression of their essence

But for now, they are still growing, in the process of being human.

And it's not a word of hope, but surely they will get a grasp of the basic things like:

· Cold

· Anger

· Itching

· Pain

· Joy

· Surprise

· Hungry

· Full

But before that time comes, people help them discern it.

You might be part of the people that are helping to discern, trying to help me guess per change in act and habit.

So here Is me saying cheers to growth as a child in the world of writing, that I am beginning to try grasping.

So yeah.

I don’t know the reason for this.

But take whatever lesson you want.

Ps: I did not tell you why I have not been consistent.

Like I always say, hopefully, I can give fuller detail.
