Introduction; Who am I?

Hi guys! My name is Leena and welcome to my blog!

Right, so back to the question: Who am I? Wow, this is probably the hardest question ever. It always blows my mind when I think of how our minds cannot seem to construct a simple sentence that, in a nutshell, describes our very own personality and what it is that we bring to the table. I cannot think of a single word much less formulate an entire sentence.

I suck at introductions, there I said it! For some reason which I do not know, a question such as this always catches me off guard but I will tell you what I know.

Yes, I am who I am. I know that but that does not exactly answer your question, does it? I find this question very hard to answer mainly because I believe it is impossible to describe yourself in a couple of words. I feel like no words can really do justice.
I am just a girl. A girl learning how to survive in a cruel world. A girl trying not to let the weight of the world drag her down at her feet so much so that she becomes hopeless and dares not to get back up. I am just a girl who is trying so hard to catch sight of the beauty on the outside. That should not be so hard because beauty is dormant within me, right?
I lay my head down and think of all that I have been through. Am I my past? Am I my hurt? My disappointments, maybe? No, but my past does have an influence on the person that I am today. I know that all that I have been through and what I chose to remain perseverant for has led to my character. I also know that you are utterly mistaken if you believe that your mistake makes you a mistake.

I once read a really amazing book called Understanding your Potential by the late Dr Myles Munroe (Shout out to my friend Tasha for letting me read this book. You are the real MVP!) in which he says "Who you are is related to where you come from" and it made me think. I come from God so that means I am of God, right?
See, this made me realize that my identity lies in Christ. I am who God says I am. Its not been an easy realization to come to terms with because for some reason, I believed what society tells me about who I am instead of God. It's a journey but I try not to listen to the society's opinions about who I am unless of course, its a good thing! Lol.

Guys, I cannot put in words the person that I truly am but what I do know is that I am consciously on this journey of self identification and I must say, SO FAR SO GOOD.

For me, getting to know myself is getting to know God. What about YOU? WHO ARE YOU?

I am just A LITTLE insecure

This concept is not 'news' to me. It is something I had trouble with and if I am to be honest, it is something that I deal with on a daily basis. I think its a state of mind, if you ask me. I will tell you this because since I changed my thoughts about myself and how I view myself, I have become a different person. I am not about to give you a list on how to overcome insecurities, no way. Mainly because I do not really know the step by step process on how one can overcome it and quite frankly, that is a whole scenario that seems way too boring for me to write about. I just want to tell you about YOUR WORTH. Have you heard...you are beautiful. Just a quick question, on a scale of 1-10 how much do you think you are worth? In a world we live in, it is so easy to lose sight of our worth and compare our behind-the-scenes with somebody else's filtered to perfection appearance. That is not okay. We live in a society that prives on outward appearance, the number of followers you

GET TO KNOW ME TAG

Wasssuuuup guys! So the other day I discovered a really cool blogger. Her name is Taimi Taaya. You guys should check her out, she’s amazing. Anyway, she did a “Get to know me tag” which I thought was interesting and important as it allows me to engage with my readers. I present to you the GET TO KNOW ME TAG. Q: What is my name and what does it mean? A: My name is Leena Franscisco. I wasn’t really sure about the meaning of Leena so I had to look it up and I found that it means a ‘divine illumination’. How cool is that? My middle name is Pombili, which is in my native language-Oshiwambo, and it can be translated as ‘being at peace’. I used to hate the name Pombili though because I have a male cousin with the exact same name and I just felt like it was a name for boys, lol.   Q: Where am I from? A: I was born and raised in Tsumeb, Namibia. Tsumeb is such a beautiful town. If you have never been there please make time to come check it out.   Q: What are my favou

I remember that day very clearly. Surrounded by so many people and yet, felt so alone. I knew there was so much noise as my friends were engaging in conversations in an attempt to cheer me up but somehow, I could not hear a thing. I laughed here and there but at most instances, had no idea what the joke was about. I was deep in my thoughts. Now that I think about it, I cannot even believe how consumed I was in my own thoughts. I felt suffocated. Now imagine feeling alone and suffocated. AT THE SAME TIME! As I sat there, with mixed emotions (so much joy from the presence of my loving, 'funny' friends together with the pain of just having lost a loved one) and in my own thoughts. I remember feeling completely numb and as though I am sleeping when infact, I was wide awake. I was so appalled by what suddenly came out of my mouth. It was not loud enough for everyone to hear, but I heard it. I asked God, 'Okay, what now? What am I supposed to do with myself now? What were YOU th
