Create a post that's pin-worthy; that's what we're doing in a creative group I am a part of. And, while at this point in time, the majority of us have an idea of what that's going to be, I was there scratching my oblong-shaped head in a quandary about what mine would be about.
Right there and then, in deep thoughts—as the deadline was gawking ever so ominously from the clock—I had an epiphany! Why not craft a pin-worthy post that encapsulates my person, my dreams, my plans, and everything in between?
In my random cruise, one time bingeing through social media, I found a post that talked about pinned posts, what they represent, and how they shape the insights people get from "your page." The post also discussed how poorly many people use this golden opportunity to sell themselves and harness the power of having a post pinned. I was enlightened, and that's the inspiration for my pin-worthy post.
My account here on Hive will be two years old in seven days, on February 15th. My journey only started two months after I created my account, however. And before starting out, I was perplexed as to what exactly someone like me was going to be "creating." Fast forward to the present; the narrative is entirely different, and I am beginning to imbibe a new name, "Jay's Creating," as I have the conviction that I am born to create, and that's what I am going to do doing.
Now, there is more clarity on the person I would like to be—the better version of myself that's growing every day, exploring potentialities, and thereby adding fragrance to my life and everyone around me (virtually, too).
When people come to my blog, I want the first thing they see and learn about me is—drum rolls—ME!. Me, in the sense that I want them to understand my essence, my passions, and my vision, as well as the value they can get from the humble individual. After all, we're all chasing value and would like to know quickly enough if we'll get it. That, right there fren, is what I think I'd like to have pinned. What do you say?
Now, now, this isn't going to be the regular thing you'd find Jay putting out, other than the fact that it'll be authentic, heartfelt, and genuine. This time, I am learning something new from dear Alessandra la connoseiur of this initiative and why myself and a couple of other Creatives are doing this. Heard of Design Thinking before? Chances are that you're like me and hadn't until now. Forgive me if I am wrong. It's the coffee at the late late hour!
Design Thinking, as I understand it, is an approach that prioritizes empathy, creativity, and collaboration. It's a whole new level of creating. And working through the sessions we've had in the last few days, there's growth imminent for me and I am going to pour it in this pin-worthy post.
Beyond having an impressive portfolio—for myself, mostly—it's important for me to do this. It's a introspective assessment of my person and projection of where I'd like to be. That, in its own right, is going to give more clarity. And thereafter, the plan is to follow through faithfully.
In a nutshell, dear reader, this author is bringing coming strong with something you'd like to see, hopefully! What we have here is what some would call a trailer, I think!
