I was wondering about this election year, and I realized
that the television, radio, and social media would be filled with political
stuff. I was also thinking about the manifestos they will soon read, the
debates and all that drama. (Remember the Ayari Cough?). I am hoping for some
humour. (Remember when someone said; We
must all come and vote, come December 12?)
Then I asked myself, what would I say if I was contesting
for the office? Just imagine Marietta running for the office of the president,
what would she say?
Hahaha. That’s a funny thought…….and a scary one too.
That was just by the way.
If I cannot be the president of the country, I might one day
become the president of some organization or something. Or?
I imagined Blog Nation. What if I was the president of
Blog Nation? What would I even say?
I will have to write a manifesto and read it to my readers,
or in this case write it to my readers.
That brings us to the post title for today; Waking up the
members of my nation.
When I was a teenager, I loved watching iCarly, so I could sing the full theme song. That’s where the title
comes from, it’s in the song.
So, let’s imagine The Marietta DeGrant Blog is a nation and
I am the President, this is the manifesto I will read to my readers.
A Manifesto Delivered By Marietta G. DeGrant to the Readers of the
Marietta DeGrant Blog
I greet you, members
of the Marietta DeGrant Blog Nation. I am here to read to you my manifesto. My
theme is Waking up the Members of my Nation, and that is what I am aiming at.
I would encourage my
readers members to brighten the corner where they are. They do not need to get
to some level in life before they can do that. If you cannot change the whole
world, they can change the community in which they live in. Start with your
roommate. Start with your family.
I would encourage my
members to surround themselves with positivity. Even if it’s making your
bedroom wall some form of inspirational board, do it. Create mood boards,
having a quote as your phone’s wallpaper, and always wake up with a positive
mind. Remove all negative people from your life, and always have encouraging
people around you.
I would encourage my
members to love their talent and develop it. If your talent is writing, write.
If your talent is art, do art and live it. If your talent is craft work,
exhibit your handiworks. If your talent is sing, write a song and sing it every
day. Live your talent.
I would encourage my
members to capture memories. Take pictures, make videos of your adventures and
live it to the fullest. After some weeks, months, years, you can look back at
them, laugh and cry. It makes life healthy.
I would encourage my
members to learn from life. Life is a school, where we learn lots of things
through trials and things that we go through. I would tell my members,
everything would be all right, no matter what you are going through. You are
just learning.
I would encourage my
members to inspire each other. Inspire people with good things and also get
ideas from inspiration.
I would encourage my
members to be selfless. I would not elaborate on it, because you know how to be
selfless.
I would encourage my
members not to look down on anyone. Everyone has his/her time of rising and everyone
is important in this world.
I would encourage my
members to continue to read this blog, because you must read it it is my little
space of telling you stories, having kelewele dates with you, telling you
stories of my days, and sharing my creative literary works with you.
Thank you for your
time.
So, this is what I would tell the members of my blog nation.
As you could see, I did not tell my members what I would do. I told them what
we should do together as members of the nation.
I love you all, my readers and thanks for taking time to
read my blog. You are not only members of the Marietta DeGrant Blog Nation, we
are family.
Thank you.
