Clears throat

Hello, welcome back to my blog Striking The Balance. It has been a hot minute since you last read one of these. Where have I been you may be wondering? Better yet, where have you been? It really does feel like a lifetime that I sat down and actually completed a full blog post. Yes, I've done a few that just haven't made the cut. So much has happened. Or feels like it has. Here's a super quick summary.

  • I graduated (yey)
  • Gained a hobby (photography)
  • Launched an Insta page for this(because why not?)
  • Invested in my mental health
  • Read a bunch of books(reading is cool)
  • Decided to return to university to gain a Masters
  • Rested
It really doesn't look like much. However, these last few months have been some of the best for me. I've fallen in love with myself all over again. I will share in great detail in the weeks to come.

This blog post was mainly to say thank you. For reading all my blogs. Including this one. It's scary putting myself out here in such a way. The feedback I've received has been such an encouragement. Thank you for stepping into my headspace for a few minutes, then choosing to come back time and time again. It's because of your feedback that I decided to take a break from blogging. I really wanted to spend time revisiting my content and ideas going forward. TBH I didn't do much of this because I really was enjoying my summer doing everything above. But, this is a quick announcement that I will be posting more of these. As I continue striking the balance. Do stick around and as usual, let me know your thoughts.
Till next time!

Hi, Bonjour, Hola! Welcome to my blog. Striking the balance. My name is Lushomo a twenty-something Business Technology student. For those of you that know me, I have always wanted to make one of these. Thankfully the opportunity finally came  along. So, you may be wondering, what exactly do I have to blog about? Well, I'm in my final year of university. I am  surprised that I've got this far too. I really wanted to document my final months somehow. For the most part, my blog will highlight just that. Different areas of my life including university and how I've "tried" to strike the balance( see what  I did there? ) between my varying responsibilities.  No one tells you how quickly time goes by.  It has been mentioned just how quickly the final year of university goes by. In some ways, I've blinked and *poof*   only 2 months to go. Or maybe more, I really haven't been counting. If you were/are currently in a similar posi...

It Takes A Village

I've written, erased, and rewritten this so many times. But as you may have gathered, I seem to be in reflection mode a lot these days. I guess as this chapter of my life draws to a close it can’t be helped. So bare through for a while longer. Today, I’ve been thinking of my village.  By village, I mean friends, family, and *gasp* academic tutors (they’ve been useful too) that have gathered around me these last four years. My heart is bursting at the seams as faces flash through my mind currently. I feel like the world’s message especially as you strive for success shouts “to get anywhere you’ve got to do it alone.” Have you felt similar? Or is this all in my head? I couldn’t have done university by myself. You’re probably thinking "but the exams and coursework you’d have had to do them alone." Technically, yes I would have had too. But for me to sit through the numerous assignments and have to do it so confidently ( sometimes – other times these were done with fear...
