“Until the Lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter”
-African Proverb
My friend mentioned this during our weekly check-in. I’ve been living in South Africa for 9 years, and my first time hearing it. Maybe I wasn’t spending enough time with the right people. I’ve been doing better prioritizing my time and people.
What this means to me:
1. Words trump physical strength or triumph. If I win and I can’t tell anyone, the loser with a pen will be revered as the victor.
2. I must face and fight the enemy to have a story to tell. Furthermore, I must survive.
3. I must write!!!
