Glow In The Dark

It is said often, that, "If you don't fit in, You are clearly made to stand out." Looks pretty simple, that. Welcome to blog post number three, after a month's absence.

We are all different, and that's a fact. A friend of mine argued that if indeed, we should all see ourselves as unique, technically we're being like everyone else. It's true, but there's more to the word "unique" than just being it. Unique means unusual, or remarkable, which separates you from others. Glow in the Dark is a short and simple message that urges you to stand out, and be the light in this world of gloom. See beneath the ordinary. My friend, Aba, has an inscription on her Instagram page which reads, "Be the change you want to see in the world". No one said it was easy, and it's true that nothing good comes easy. That change has to be sought after.

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid", echoes Jesus' words in Matthew 5:14. You have been set apart and put "on a hill" to ensure that your light affects others positively. In every group of people, upon observation, you discover different characters, different statures and different people in general. No one is the same, and the light that shines through each and every one of us is different, as per our calling. Every one has a different purpose and that's what I mean.

Thank you for reading, and keep your fingers crossed for my next blog, MissUnderstood, which I trust that you would love, featuring the experience of a young girl who once traveled the path of suicide. A special mention to Pappa Kweku, who keeps this possible by the day. God Richly Bless you all.
