The Muse

⁣⁣

⁣⁣

You know... ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Once I connected to people outside of Africa and I learnt that there is a “level up community”. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

I had to wrap myself around this concept of “who is your muse”. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

It’s strange to me and I know I come off as super cocky for not truly having a muse, I always answer “me, myself I am my muse”. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

There are women who inspire me and for reasons past their marriages, scandal and beauty. ⁣⁣

I always felt one should perhaps leave the term to artists. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

I always found it strange this obsession of looking outside of yourself and trying to emulate someone and not create your own magic. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Goodness... If I could count how many emails and⁣⁣

Messages I have on “how to become Megan Markle” and so many others, I would count until after corona is over. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

The biggest secret to womanhood is looking inward, toward yourself. ⁣⁣

Be the masterpiece the inspiration. ⁣⁣

⁣

Guidance into womanhood and femininity, comparing notes and having case studies is normal.

But trying to be someone else is not.
