Life Lately, Updates, Blogging Again?

Many years ago, as a young fresh-faced medical student, I started a blog to share my life and style. That singular action changed the course of my life in many ways and has been the bedrock and foundation for a lot of the things I have achieved thus far.

I gave that blog my all and it rewarded me. Oh, how it rewarded me. I was consistent, I was diligent, I wrote down the good, the bad, and the in-between, and it expanded my life. Expanded my reach. I not only just blogged, I now had products created off the back of the work I did on the blog. I now had a job creating content and writing for one of Nigeria’s foremost banks, a role my blog played a part in me getting. I was now not only a med student & blogger, but a Doctor, creative entrepreneur, and a content marketer. I was at a sweet spot, juggling all with as much dexterity as a clown juggles its balls.

Then Covid happened…

And somehow, I stopped showing up as consistently as I used to. Where I’d usually show up three times in a week, my presence dwindled. So much, that it’s been at least a good full year since I’ve graced the blog with my presence. I told myself it was just a little time off. After all, we were in a pandemic. Not just the one caused by COVID, but also a pandemic of people losing interest in reading blogs. I struggle to remember which pandemic came first, but somehow there was also a rapid decline in blogs. They were no longer all the rave, people’s attention span switched as quickly as a child when he sees a new toy.

However, that did not diminish my affections for my blog. Every year, without fail, I’d pay for its domain name and hosting. Regardless of my absence, I just couldn’t imagine not having that blog. It was the unthinkable. I was determined to hold on to it. I’d make grand plans about getting back on there and fail woefully. I blamed it on laziness. I told myself if you just sit down and write, you could get back to blogging.

But lately, I’ve found myself wondering if it’s okay to just let it go. That maybe it isn’t just laziness as I’ve rationalized, but instead that I may just have moved on to a different phase in my life. One that doesn’t quite include the rigors of writing, uploading, and sharing lines. I stilled my mind enough to finally admit to myself that I may just have outgrown it and that I probably may never keep up with my grand plans of resuscitating the blog and being as consistent as in my heydays. My blog also crashed at some point, and I lost every SEO action I’ve made to help my blog rank on google. This hit me really hard.

It’s hard, you know? Letting go is hard. Letting go of something that has been a huge part of your life for years is even harder. Something that grew as you grew, that watched you go from a naive teenager struggling to balance medical school and modeling to a doctor and influencer, and sat with you through some of the most important phases of your life. This isn’t me saying goodbye to the blog forever. I may have a comeback, who knows? But this is a sort of closure for myself. And maybe for anyone who has been hoping, wondering, if I’ll ever pop up here again.  Life is in seasons and I guess the season right now is one for acceptance. That it’s okay, I can let go now.

The past few years that I’ve been away from my blog, so much has happened! So, so much has happened. I say this with a bit of nostalgia. I remember days where I’d rush off to my blog and craft a story about all that has happened. But somehow that zeal had died along my journey through life.

A few updates:

• I shaved my hair.

I’m currently typing this from my couch at home in Canada, and mahn Life has really been “life-ing”. I may not be back here anytime soon but I’m still on the inter webs doing what i do best: oversharing.

Till I write again,
