My Introduction story for ILLUMINATION
I want to thank Dr Mehmet Yildiz for taking the time to acknowledge new writers like myself, and courteously welcoming us.
Writing for me was limited to occasional journaling until I recently joined Medium. I have never had an opportunity to introduce myself on a platform like this before. Awkwardness surrounds me when it comes to breaking the ice, and was in a dilemma about this task at hand. Ergo, I asked my brother to describe me in 3 points.
He said :
“A living meme.”
Relating small everyday incidents to memes is one of my guilty pleasures as a 90’s kid. Also, for always being goofy among family and friends, this title was bestowed upon me by my brother. Urban Dictionary defines memes as the cure for depression, so I couldn’t be more pleased.
“Someone who has got their shit together, but don’t, at the same time.”
The title. Duh!
I’m as confused as a chameleon in a bag of skittles when it comes to almost anything. Although, I try to (TRY TO) breeze through life as it comes, taking one day at a time.
“Ace dreamer.”
I’m an amateur periodontist by profession, yet the artist in me craves for more. A few months back, I made a list of things I want to potentially evolve into,
- cosmetic dentist
- boutique owner
- interior decorator
- painter
- primary school educator
- and now, a writer
You’re probably thinking, “Yikes! Can one person be all these things in one lifetime?”
I don’t know yet, although I would be happy being Jill of all trades, master of none.
If there is one thing that I’ve learned from my life so far, it is that —
Life is like a tube of toothpaste. You can always squeeze out a little bit more right when you think you can’t.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones…
