Hi guys.
It's been a long time, as in too long. You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've wanted to post or sat at my laptop to write or suddenly had a banging idea, only to find that I am unable to articulate myself, so the post just ends up sitting in the drafts section.
Writer's block, whatever you want to call it, well it sucks.

But seeing as I am here, writing and you are there, reading, then that is something that I am thankful to God for because I haven't given up. Even though I might not receive the attention I want for this blog, or enough support from people I know or I'm not being asked to promote weight loss tea, my blog is still good. It's better than good and that's not me being vain or conceited, it's me being proud of the fact that after thinking of starting a blog for so long, I actually got up and created my blog. And people do read it and they enjoy it and tell me so, and even if they didn't, it doesn't mean that film-ish is any less of what I believe it to be.

I think that seeing as I write a film blog, it's no secret that I want to work in film. I think about it damn near all the time and I have created films. Grace 5 years ago probably wouldn't be able to wrap her head around such a thing but it's happened. I've had the pleasure of being on sets. I've spoken to authors who gave me the standard 'never give up only our dreams' speech. Sure, the films were group projects at uni that would have been a lot different had I been able to work on them alone but I have created films nonetheless and that is something to be proud of.

Grace at the start of this year would be baffled if you told her that come the end of this year she would have performed two nights of a sold-out show in a theatre, written for an upcoming online TV show and asked to write a script for another project amongst other things, mate she might have said "you're bloffin".

It's okay to be happy and excited and super proud of your accomplishments because it's an amazing thing, no matter how big or small. Hey, you looked in the mirror today and didn't think that you were ugly, that's amazing. You managed to finish an entire meal, good for you. You got in that exercise today that you had been putting off, that's so great. I'm the first person to praise someone I see doing well for themselves, even if it seems small but I don't do the same for myself and it's something to work on. Yeah, I haven't written about every cinema release I saw, but I have gone to see a film every month this year so far.
Mate, I'm smiling that I even had a minimum of three good things to write about myself this year, that's not small, it's three things more than zero and it's a testament to God.

I'll admit that I get nervous about writing about God, I've said it before, but how I can not give all the glory to the One sent His Son to die for me and loves me unconditionally. Like I said, everything that happens to me is to the glory of God and may I never think that I accomplish anything of my own will.

It's the afternoon, I'm sitting with my headscarf on and I need to do my chores but I am happy, so happy. I saw Chance the freaking Rapper in concert two nights ago and I'm still buzzing, so I'll leave you with a little memento of the night.

The most random part of the concert, I met Lin-Manuel Miranda ??
