Don't just try.

By -

There's like on the down low a million articles, quotes, songs or poetry that's encouraging trial. Encouraging you to go against odds and just TRY.

But let's jog for a minute, say you try tried to run faster but still lost the race, basically anything you try and fail. What does it matter?
I'm not saying it's not good that you tried, wait, that's precisely what I'm saying.
Trial is the definite equal to inadequacy.and no, not enough just won't do.
Now turn the brightness up and let me tell you why you failed,at least majorly why. Quite simple really: you failed because to you,it was just an attempt, you didn't want it enough, you were just TRYING.

See, trial comes with it the comfort of it's aight if you do not succeed, that it's normal to fail. That's why I'm proclaiming myself, blasphemize if you'll let me coin, the anti-try.

That's why it's easy for people to go round doing so many random things wrong without feeling bad about it, trying to date everyone and moving on like it didn't mean anything, failing at so many things in such a short span. And yet, being able to sleep just fine non-the less, without evaluating what's wrong, what they should do better, what they shouldn't do next time. Because they were JUST TRYING.

Don't get me wrong either, you're not going to succeed in all your endeavors. And there's absolutely no fault in failure.
See, if you want something bad enough, you have to more than try, you DO IT. You go for it like you want it. Without failure on your mind. And that's the kind of positivity that will get you across.
Remember, it's okay if you do not succeed, and it's alright to feel bad about it. Because you did it. Maybe you didn't do it right, maybe you didn't do it enough. But you DID IT.

DO IT or Go Home.

Let's go back to the Basics.

Life Goes On

  By this point my emote is ‘a guy that writes about things we already know and don’t really think about' and no shit Sherlock, the blog is called Basics. Anyways, one of those things happened again, I zoned out and life started reflecting. We all know that life goes on, or have at least used the ‘time waits for no man’ proverb in those primary school JESMA compositions (yuck), but do you ever really think about what it means? I know you know what it means, but do you ever really think about it? Life is the greatest show ever with extremely unprecedented twists and turns right thereafter WWE. But that’s the thing, life hasn’t been updated yet so you cannot pause or simply skip parts that you aren’t the audience for, you go through it anyways. A lot of resonance with life moving on is almost always attached to death and helping people that are grieving and that’s true but I think the more important part is to understand that life goes on even when you are alive. You see friend, li

The Art of Gifting

I intended to write about this way early into last year because of how shit the gifts I received that year was, but life comes at you so fast I hadn’t gotten time to research and do the yadayada before writing an article such as this. But then I met someone that reignited that spark only this time it was different, the complete opposite. They gifted me with sequences that were the most thoughtful gifts ever, and I mean ever. But then it occurred to me that it was much more than the thoughtfulness of the gifts and thus we are here to explore gifting a little more. I am overflowing with emotion over those gifts as I write this; Before we delve into it, love languages are meant to be independent as well as integrated and as such, this article is not meant for gifters and lovers that only understand love in gifting rather this is an article for you if you intend to express a little more love into the world, to your loved ones, to your victims. You see dear reader, gifts aren

The Long Distance Dilemma

If you are in a long-distance relationship perhaps it isn’t the best thing for you to read my thoughts on it. You would not agree one bit with everything else in this piece but if you do insist on hearing me out- a grain of salt. (and no, Juja and Rongai do not count as a long-distance relationship). The following is a conclusion I came to on why I, which of course denotes personal preference, would not be in a long-distance relationship. Of course through a multitude of conversations with has-beens and even currents in long-distance relationships. So I know what you’re thinking, “he’s probably going to say his love language is physical touch and yadda yadda,” but you’re wrong. If you’ve read my blog you know I don’t believe in those. My opinions are not that superficial, unfortunately. I found that like a lot of things in life, ldr’s are difficult and complicated but basically in my opinion it came down to this. Love, in its essence, remains unaltered by distance. From how
