This summer I’ve been a hermit. Not a lazy hermit. Normal hermit.
I’m starting to think that’s an oxymoron in it’s own right. After passing my exams you’d think i’d trott off home with my three suitcases and enjoy the beautiful wonders of the nigerian/british delicacy that my mother would serve up. Nope. I stayed at my uni flat and isolated myself. crazy? maybe and you’ll probably look at me abstract because it’s of the unfamiliar, but I’ve always been pretty good at hiding. I was always the one that got left in my hiding spot for a couple hours of hide and go seek and eventually come out to friends who said they “gave up looking”. I guess I enjoy my own company too much but never have I ever spent 3 months to myself. I spent time reflecting, being honest with my eyes and lips, reading into my mind and listening to my own voice. Never have I felt so free and silent. That silence is the purest of its kind. That silence has allowed me to interpret the languages in my body. It has allowed me to see clearer and has allowed me to allow you. The summer of challenges is almost coming to an end so now that i’ve got my voice back i can reveal all more to you.
“As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself… Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.”― Nelson Mandela
