QUIET COURAGE

Hi, I am Ekeoma. I almost didn’t write this, not because I didn’t want to, but because fear can make dreams feel insignificant. Yet, here I am at 4 AM, finally typing. I’m not writing as an author but as a person with many thoughts and a heart ready to share.

I have come to realize that I feel things deeply. I sense the energy in a room before I enter. I prefer listening to speaking. I appreciate silence and enjoy a medium-sized French vanilla iced coffee. I cherish genuine moments with family, good friends, tasty meals, and quiet pauses to catch my breath.

Writing has always been hard for me, and I avoid it. Recently, journaling has become soothing; it feels good to express what I’ve held inside for so long. This blog isn’t perfect or carefully planned; it’s just me—genuine and intuitive—trying to make bold moves.

I am starting this blog to build a community. I know I’m not the only one who overthinks and hesitates due to perfection and fear. If you have 100 ideas but don’t act on any- I see you.

This space is for us- the over-thinkers, slow starters, brave-hearted people who are still figuring it out.

Cheers to new beginnings or do I say brave self. This blog is imperfect, vulnerable, It’s me-journaling my random thoughts loudly, hoping someone out there whispers “same.”

The comments are always open for quiet hearts and loud thoughts.

With quiet courage, from my heart to this page,

-Ekeoma.

    Well done ‘kiiiks. By letting your own light shine, you unconsciously give others permission to do the same. I wish you an inspired pen.

    That 100 ideas but not acting on any spoke to my heart…. Everything here spoke to my heart as I could have written this. Thank you for being brave.

    This is a great idea and I have sincerely longed to a space like this where I can randomly drop my thoughts of overthinking, or analyzing an issue before I take any action. I finally found one and for me ,this is brilliant! Thank you for sharing this community with us.

    Thank you for sharing, Ekeoma. As someone who tends to overthink, I find comfort in knowing that I’m not alone and that there is true beauty in vulnerability.

    Toast to bold moves

    Hi Kiki,

    I wouldn’t describe myself as an overthinker, I’m simply a woman who feels overwhelmed by the constant balancing act of being myself while meeting the expectations placed on me. Lately, I’ve been sitting with the feeling that there has to be more to life than this. I know I’m meant to achieve great things in my career, yet I’m also at a point where I feel the deep need to pause… to rest.

    It’s not that I’ve lost my ambition, it’s still there, quietly burning. But right now, I’m craving clarity. I know it’s time to make decisions that will shift the trajectory of my life, decisions that require courage and commitment. Still, part of me just wants to exhale and exist without pressure for a while.

    These are just quiet musings from where I stand, from a woman who knows she is made for more, but also knows she deserves peace along the way.

    Welldone!!!!

      It’s okay to take pauses, rest, break, regroup, whatever you want to call it. It allows you process life with openness and patience.
