Seven Ways Blogging Has Changed Me For The Better.

I started this blog back in 2013, not quite sure of what direction I was going with it and what I hoped to do with it. For me, it was just another hub to chronicle the things I love but it has grown into so much more and Its been such a thrill journey.
Two years plus later, lots of changes and learning, I can say right now that my blog is one of the best things that has happened to me in so so many ways! And that’s what I’ll be sharing today

Here are seven ways blogging has changed my life for the better :

Meeting and connecting with all you wonderful people and fellow creatives that I’m forever learning and drawing inspiration from. Sure there’s the fact that I was also in the modelling industry and I already knew some people but blogging opened me up to a whole lot more and also helped cement some connections.

Not only has it opened me up to so many opportunities, working with all these brands both big and small that I probably wouldn’t have worked with by just being a medical student.
I’ve also been able to grow my name and myself as a brand so that if I decide to start up something now, I already have a sort of edge and that in itself is priceless.

There are some projects I have in the works and things I can do as a side hustle that I probably would never have thought about if I hadn’t started this blog. For example, my blog planners that I created recently! It’s a perfect tool for bloggers and content creators, check on it HERE.

Blogging has thought me some valuable life lessons too that has helped me evolve as a person. Lessons that I’ve learnt both through some of the negative things that come with being in the blogosphere and also introspecting with some of my musings I put up.

– How comparison is the thief of joy.
– On patience and trusting the process.
– Like how I really can’t win with everyone and to quit trying to.
– On knowing my worth and not letting people dictate it for me.
– Like not letting the fact that I’m not appreciated in a certain way I think I should, stop me from putting in work.

Lastly but not the least, it helped me refine my style. It wasn’t till I started blogging that I really started experimenting more with fashion and trying to figure out where my style falls in. Now I can confidently answer the “how would you describe your style” question without thinking so much about it. I talked about my “style journey” in this post and also shared some tips for people trying to figure theirs out. If you call in that category, you should totally check out that post.


On the side, it has also helped me realize the value of commitment, consistency and putting in work. I carry my little book everywhere, jotting down ideas and organizing my thoughts. I now see inspiration everywhere and beauty in the oddest places. I’m forever seeking out shoot locations and you can find me randomly screaming “hey that wall will be perfect for some blog shots”!
