The Thrill of Something New...

It's sometimes scary

---

Hey there,

Thank you for choosing to read this newsletter, let me start by introducing myself; I’m Zee, short for Zehisa or Zaya (any of the three would suffice since we’re going to become buddies soon, rather pen (or keyboard???… I dunno) buddies.

The initial theme for my first post was supposed to be WRITING but I thought about it and decided that I’ll make it an introductory post instead just so we get to become familiar with each other first. So I guess we'll talk about writing in another post…I’m hoping you would have subscribed by that time so you wouldn't miss it.

Honestly, this whole newsletter thing is long overdue and I have a few reasons why :

• Chronic Procrastination

This one!!!… I'm not even going to lie, I procrastinate a whole lot, I’m trying to change that tho and sending out this newsletter is a step towards achieving that.

• The Everyone-is-doing-it Mindset

I live for being different and starting a newsletter seemed too generic for me, I know better now and I’ve realised that even the common things still bring excitement.

• Fear of not being able to keep up

This is a factor because of past experiences where I lost the eagerness to do something I liked, I didn't want to start something and end up abandoning it. But with the way I’m seeing this newsletter ehn…I don't think we’re going to be stopping anytime soon.

• Anxiety

“Will people like it sef ?”, “No one cares, don’t do it"- these are some of the thoughts (and many others) that plagued me and in turn delayed this process. On this note I’m grateful to all the people that encouraged me, see whatever you do in this life just have supportive people around you, they’re are the ones that'll drag you out when you're drowning in anxiety.

• Lack Of Resources

Wo, don't mind the big words I’m using to cover up I, It’s DATA that I meant to say. I know that you know that we both know that the money spent on data purchases is so alarming. What if I promise you guys that I’ll write to you and I end up not doing so because of data, disappointing innit??. Don’t worry it won’t happen because I’m going to make sure I keep to my words (even though it means stealing my sister's hotspot).

• Not wanting to deal with the stress of another platform with “follower/subscriber” count

We all know how disappointing it feels when it seems like what we’re doing is not making enough impact, well that was a line of thought that was stopping me from doing this (something I had not even started o) Thank God I didn't let it stop me. To you all that have subscribed, thank you.

• Laziness

I’m sometimes lazy…that's it, that’s the whole explanation.

• Site Domain Issues

Sometime last week, I decided to do this thing for real so I launched my browser and started setting up my profile. But when I hit “Done” I was getting an error message, I tried many times after that but I kept getting the same result. Being the baby girl that I am, I took it as a sign for me not to do it again. I sha tried again this week and it worked so here I am…in your mail 🙃.

So yeah, these are the main reasons why I have taken this long to start this. If you guys don’t hear from me for a while (it's kinda unlikely sha) blame it on LACK OF DATA 😒.

Thank you for reading up to this point, till I write to you again…

With Love,

Zee ✌🏾
