THIS IS MY STORY; THIS IS MY SONG…..

THIS IS MY STORY; THIS IS MY SONG…..

Everyone has their own story, but sometimes we all have moments where we wish someone else would come into our story and write it with us or for us…….and sometimes they do, they come in with us, until we realize how important it is to do our own story on our own, because someone’s story is their brand. And we all understand how crucial proper branding is. People may come into your story but they shouldn’t be the ones to write it for you, they are just potions and you are the alchemist that mixes them together to share with the world who you are or are not.

Sometimes I feel like a phoenix when it comes to my brand, my story…..at some points in my life I have burst into flames in the middle of my story, but somehow I rise from the ashes, and I have to put my story in a different perspective like a minstrel who realizes that to please the king with his song he must sing the same words in a different rhythm…..I call it self-rebranding or reinvention, you may call it something different but you get the idea.

My story is my own; I claim it and own it, because I Nyambura, have written it. Your version of me might be worlds apart from my own, and I don’t blame you, because you did not hold my pen when I wrote my story, heck you were not even in the vicinity…..and neither did I hold your pen when you wrote your version. Sometimes we find ourselves writing other people’s stories and forget about our own, but so God help us all that we may meet a stranger who slaps us back into our own or that we walk into brick walls that set us straight on our paths coz trust me you don’t want to be fifty and living as some shady character in someone else’s story……

I put my story out there in the best way I know how to, sometimes I sing it, sometimes I dance it…..sometimes I curse it out and sometimes I farm it, I have even mimed it on some days, but whichever medium I use, I make sure my story is heard, felt, touched, seen, smelled, tasted…..because I have a loud personality which sometimes gets me in trouble, nothing I can’t weave out of though……that’s when I normally dance. I don’t think there’s anyone who knows my complete story the world over though, that would be unladylike, and I’m a lady of sorts, at least that’s what I tell myself.

So basically, the moral of the story here is………it is your story…..go with it where you want to!!

Xoxo gossip girl!!

Ignore that last part; no really, ignore it…….
