Writing an essay can be a really difficult task and one that is challenging to even just start. Here I hope to share some tips that I learnt that really helped me with my essays in grad school.

I have not written in a long time, a little over a year now.
Throughout the day so many ideas and thoughts come to mind which I promise myself I will write about. However, like what happens when you drop any hobby, getting back on the horse is the most difficult part.
After a year of change, learning and excitement; I believe I am in a place to start sharing my thoughts and stories again. I hope that whatever you come across here is a source of enlightenment, empowerment and maybe even inspiration?
Let me know in the comments if you have any suggestions.
In the name of God we begin.

“A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a homesickness or a love sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”
– Robert Frost

There is this connection writers have between their runny ink pens and their throbbing hearts. When a writer’s heart begins to swell the writer will itch for a pen and paper. As the hand moves swiftly across the paper with occasional thoughtful pauses, it does so carefully intertwining words feeling for the paining sensitive spots of the heart. The same way a doctor feels a patient’s cold back with his stethoscope until he can hear the heart beat. Once the spot is sensed the pen will continue to dwell deeper and deeper trying to extract the meaning entrapped within. The further the pen moves down the page the more soothing the caressing of the soft spot feels. When the heart finals begins to relax and the healing begins the pen will be set aside as the eyes pour over the words. The writer reads the paper starting a little too long at the ink spots resting assured that the emotions the heart once carried are now preserved forever in ink. Never to be lost by an accident but only by intention.
