Step One : Making A Change.

Hello World!

I remember in Form 2, I was sitting in Guidance & Counselling class..not really paying attention. For some reason, I only broke out of my day-dream when I heard the teacher say the word CHANGE.
The word gripped me in a way I can't explain.. Noticing that she'd caught my attention, she asked, "Nozie, what is change to you?" to which I said "I think it means doing things differently". She smiled and simply disregarded my answer. As if to correct me, she said "Change is difficult. And it can truly happen if you're uncomfortable. You must leave your zone of comfort and enter a new territory. Only then, can real change happen."

For a while, I sat there..taking in what she had said.

Surprisingly, her words stuck with at times when change was crucial for me.. I needed to start studying..and to do that, I had to watch less t.v, facebook less, generally cut off on things that somewhat defined me. And so I did it. Trust me, it was difficult..so many times I wanted to switch on the telly, to logg on..to go back to the "me" I was before. Eventually, I became accustomed to new me..and it paid off.

The reason I brought this up is because I've had a lot of time to myself lately.. During this time, I've thought about everything and one of the most dominent thoughts, is making a change. Changing the way I live, the way I eat as well as the world around me. I believe Ghandi once said "be the change you want to see in the world"..

So let's take a look at my world..
my peripheral world is plagued with diseases and lots of atrocities.
I can't change the world. But I can try..
which brings me to my latest adventure..to make a change..

That's me
Nozie :)
