The Unexpected Matters of the Heart

A time-in-moment stops for each of us that lingers in our memories for the rest of our lives. To some, it’s something big like passing their driving test, and to others is as simple as the day they mastered how to ride their bike. Whatever you encounter, it leaves you to ponder deeper on the possibility as the feelings we feel can engrave onto our hearts.

Sarah could not believe it. Despite the journey it took to arrive at a place she could now consider to be home, she was ready to take charge of what was in front of her. Not long after arriving at her new destination, she was invited to a gathering. After being trapped for 14 days in one room, freedom is what she desires and needs, even with people who may seem like strangers.

A simple yes and a step into the unknown led Sarah to the unexpected.

Christiana has always loved reading and writing. Throughout her schooling years, she struggled with writing, and her English tutors would point this out to her. Still, that did not stop her from making up stories and writing them at home, especially at a younger age. She felt more at ease because she was not being criticised or judged by the structure/grammar.

At the age of 9 or 10, her love for writing in her diary began, and most evenings, she would reflect on her day and write about it. Christiana loved recounting and sharing her thoughts, sometimes expressing what she couldn’t convey to others in writing. As she grew older, she also fell in love with journaling and writing about everything: songs, poems, words of encouragement, testimonies/gratitude, and so forth. Once she starts writing about things, it can be endless, spending hours doing so. It’s a desire and passion that has permanently been embedded within her soul; that she finds hard to explain.

Although born in Sierra Leone, Christiana’s home is still in the UK, where she has spent most of her life growing up. She loves travelling, and she is blessed to be in a profession that does not limit her but enhances her passion further.
