Hello, my name is Wisdom Ezeh, but my friends call me Ash! It’s very unrelated, I know, right? Anyways, I was born on the 6th of January, on a beautiful Saturday, at least I think it was beautiful, I wasn’t very aware at birth. Born to the Ezeh family, as the first child, hailing from Isuikwuato LGA, Abia State, Nigeria.
I am a lot of things and I take pride in them as I try to get better at them all and not get overwhelmed. I am first, a senior brother, a responsibility I take seriously, I am a mentor to a few people, trying my best in that area and I also offer therapy to the best of my abilities. I am also a web developer, very good at building scalable solutions for private corporations, firms, MSMEs, individuals, etc. I am also a dedicated pianist and music lover and lastly I am a writer.
All my life I’ve been fascinated with knowledge, history and science, people call me a nerd or dweeb, I read all kinds of materials, novels, documentaries, you name it; and this drive amongst a lot of other factors has made me come to love the art of conveying one’s thoughts in writing. Many times it comes like an emotion, other times I squeeze it out in short bursts over a period of time. All in all, this is one of my oldest talents and I am going to use this platform as my canvas.
The mind and personality behind the the pen:
I wasn’t raised in a lot of money, I’ve had my ups and downs as all my readers and fellow humans, I don’t take pride in how many struggles I have gone through but in the type of mind that came out of it, I believe strongly that what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger. I am a Christian and it has shaped who I have become all my life. One of the hardest obstacles I’ve faced is losing the persons I looked up to in my family, they aren’t dead, just redundant. All around me are bad examples and the like and it takes a strong will to not fall prey to it, remember I mentioned that I took my seniority a responsibility, if all others have fallen from grace, I want to still remain standing for those coming behind me.
Another point that changed my life was when I made the decision to actually start taking responsibility for a whole lot of stuff. All my life, from primary school till date, I’ve always been offered leadership positions and the like, I don’t think this is unique to me though, it probably has happened to a whole lot of people, ok, where was I? Yes, like I was saying, I always shirked from all that until my secondary school days, with a change of schools and environment, I was taught differently and I started seeing this in a new light. Now I’ve made leaps of progress psychologically, my pain threshold is way higher now, and when I start something, I finish it.
I am excited to be on this platform, now I can write to my heart’s content, paint the picture I want to paint, stretch my imagination all the while taking my readers along. Special thanks to my gee @zeal72 for paving the way for me here, and also a forthcoming gratitude to everyone that will encounter my pieces, I am grateful.
Now, folks, anticipate this user, my work is going to make you question all kinds of things, it’s going to ask you tough questions that might make you uncomfortable or bring clarity to you, I’m going to bare my mind on this canvas and in it share solace. See you!
