I’m Ren.

Hi, I’m Ren Igweka!

I started this blog because of my passion for creative writing. On this blog, I share fiction stories and explore the craft of storytelling, with a focus on how to support self-care and mental health awareness. I believe everyone has a story to tell, and I’m here to share mine and connect with fellow writers and readers. I’m always excited to hear from you, so feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media!

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated

I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.

We would never tell someone with a broken leg that they should stop wallowing and get it together. We don’t consider taking medication for an ear infection something to be ashamed of.

We shouldn’t treat mental health conditions any differently.

I knew well enough that one could fracture one’s legs and arms and recover afterward, but I did not know that you could fracture the brain in your head and recover from that too.

One must never let the fire go out in one’s soul, but keep it burning
