My Creative World

           beauty  You looked at the beautiful environment at the Legon Botanical Gardens –the first time you had stepped into the site. You were captivated by its beauty; it stirred memories of both what you possessed and what you had lost. They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, and you found it in the life you had last year; in the things that defined your existence — a life well lived. Last year was the best moment of your life, the absolute best until it went away to a world unknown. Mama accompanied you to the botanical gardens. She shared in your sorrow, your anguish, and your happiness. She was your everything. You didn't know how you would've lived without mama's support.

  It's been a long time coming - in Taylor Swift's voice. Finally, I've started my blog. And guess what? I've got surprises waiting for you —articles, poems, stories, and all kinds of writing. I'm excited for you to explore what I've created; I can't wait for you to read my words — or read me— it's the chills you're sending me now😹. Making art hasn't been easy, especially finding pieces that flow smoothly. With my pen, my art will be smooth; and, I'm counting on your support. As you look through my profile, share my link for interaction. I'm really looking forward to you reading my work and getting lost in my words.
