I stumbled on this 30 Days Writing Challenge, it has different topics for each day, which is good, as it solves a part of my problem — what to write about. At the same time, it also creates a problem — Soul searching. I don’t like tampering with settled water, I’ll rather hover on the surface provided I am aware of what’s in its depth. This is #Day5 of the #30DaysWritingChallenge. You can find the previous ones on my profile here.


I realy have not thought about this before. Like why do you even want to win my heart in the first place? I don’t know how valid this list is, but I think it should be close…

Have a good heart: I am like my father, I look at the heart, not just the physical appearance. Overtime, once I know the things that are important to you, if you are selfless and what you are passionate about, as along as they are inline it becomes easy to win my heart.

Have meaningful conversations: It could be about anything — meaningful and unbiased. I’m not really down for the supposed conversations that describes men as scum. Both genders have wronged each other in the past, it will not stop. If you have had a personal experience, deal with. What male have in common is that they are male, they all don’t necessarily think or act the same way. So it is actually unwise to describe a gender as scum because of your personal experience or any similar experience when there are some men that are actually doing fine. I am often quiet when it comes to gender-sensitive issues. People might not like me afterwards. There really is no point!

Be yourself: Yea, you can win my heart by just being yourself. I actually appreciate people who are themselves. The world will be a stressful place if everyone was fronting.

Be honest: Who doesn’t like honest people? Even a dishonest person wants to be around a honest person.

Be useful in my life: Lol, I didn’t know how best to put this. In summary, if you want to win my heart, at least be useful for me as I work on what matters to me. If you see something that you think I’ll like, or that will be helpful, tell me about it.
