Hello Steemit world,
I am so happy to be here and to be a part of this wonderful community of beautiful and creative individuals. My name is Khuana and I am a Nigerian. I am a graduate of Biochemistry but a Content Developer by Profession. Ever since I can remember, I have always loved writing....from scribbling little quotes on pieces of paper to writing different articles and developing different kinds of contents. I love creativity and newness. Though I have been a Science student all my life, my natural talents and abilities happen to lie in the world of arts.
I love writing, making creative art designs particularly scrapbooks and household items; I love singing, cooking, reading and I am a movie lover particularly cartoons. Yep! I retained my child-like heart even though I am an adult. I love to laugh, smile and generally be very happy. Writing is my outlet to reach out to the world and to connect with others too.
I absolutely love life and make it a point of duty to make every moment count by truly living. It wasn’t all purposeful or beautiful for me from the beginning as I had loads of challenges, note-worthy is the fact that I was ill for a long time and it had an effect on me. Trust me, you wouldn’t be so thrilled to meet the “me” before now. I was super stereotyped and had this ever-smiling-but-always-dying-on-the-inside personality.
I took it upon myself to be the happiness fairy spreading the cheery fairy dust all over and making others happy. I however forgot the one most important thing – TO MAKE MYSELF HAPPY. How did I expect to give what I didn’t have? You needed to have seen me going on and on with complaints of life and how unfulfilled and unsatisfied I was. I was almost an ardent people-pleaser…..wanting the world to be happy forgetting that it wasn’t in my power to ensure that.
One look at me and you would think I was super confident, fun and lovable but 5 minutes into our time together, and the stench of low self-esteem would begin to ooze from me. I wore it like a princess garment and I was pretty frustrated with myself.
“Change, why don’t you”? I would scream to myself. I would then put on my “ready-to-change” hat but lily-livered me could only lurk in my shadows as I would shrink back into my shell at the slightest opposition or criticism I got from others. Change was hard for me. Nothing delighted me more than living within my comfort zone. There I was plagued with depression, sadness, crying spells, and mood swings all because I was just too scared to live.
OMG! Now that I think of it, Life for me wasn’t fun ooo. It was boring, mundane and dreary. I had nothing to look forward to. No life! No purpose! No meaning!
But all that was to change when I had a “great humpity-dumpity fall” in an accident where it seemed the factory reset button in my brain was activated. I got the wake-up call that forever transformed my life to this amazing, super fun, awesome, self-loving, confident, living freely, beautiful, elegant and incredible me that I am today.
I got a second chance at life and that, I choose to share with the world through writing. We each have our stories to tell – our joys, pains, laughter, sorrow. Your story can be as great and beautiful as mine is today or more so. What makes the difference between a great story and an ordinary story is the answer to this question – “HOW WILL YOUR STORY END?” You too can rewrite your story and live that amazing life you dream of.
If I can rise from the millions of crap in my life that buried me deeply, so can you. Trust me, it’s never over until you say it is. Fasten your seat belt and come on this ride with me as I take you to Khuana’s Corner of the world filled with fun stories of her life lessons and fun gist which is sure to give you quality value in exchange for your time.
As a Content Developer, I get to write and develop different contents including quote memes for various websites. I edit different contents too. I love my job. Where my passion and talent as a Content Developer met was a dream come true for me. It seemed I had finally figured out my true purpose and I can say it is truly fulfilling and beautiful. Hence, I try to maximize every opportunity I get to want to meet new people, make new friends, learn new cultures and just TRULY LIVE MY LIFE. I am so happy to be here at Steemit and I hope to make great friends here as well as get acquainted with like minds.

Hello and welcome, @khuana!
Should you decide to take a step back and write about some scientific stuff, consider to use the #steemstem tag. Steemstem is the home of steemit's growing scientific community with quite a few nigerians at work, and getting a post selected there can significantly boost it (and the payouts^^)
