TAKE ME BACK

I was in my final year In 2013 when the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) “struck”, this time it was an indefinite strike (that ended up lasting for six months), during this period, I started blogging. I wrote about my life, things I’m passionate about, experiences and even semi secrets. It was so interactive that I made lots of friends in the blogosphere, had people steady commenting on my posts and checking on me when I delayed a little. I made friends, learned a lot and it was so beautiful. it was one of the best things that happened to my social life back then as I was sorta in a bad place — life happened.

Fast forward to 2014, I had graduated and was on the one year compulsory youth service, I slowed down with blogging which was quite ironic cos I had even more interesting experiences to share, well I told myself the excuse that I didn’t have a lot of time on my hands, I changed phones, and had issues with my PC, blah blah blah…oh well..Truth is I became a lot more self aware, and realized I probably had shared a particular personal info that I didn’t want anyone in my life (future/past) to be privy to, except I mentioned it. I remember meeting someone for the first time, and he googled my full name, saw this certain information and asked me about it, it’s nothing negative anyway, truth is I just adore my privacy. I used to do a series about a certain aspect of my life and that was where the self consciousness stemmed from. Well, I stopped blogging, and a part of me went with my blog, I put the blog on private eventually, cos I couldn’t bring myself to deleting those precious but expository posts that had lots of beautiful comments which were treasures to me back then. Ya know?

So why am I ranting??

I want to write again. I really want to put pen to paper and paint a beautiful picture. The art of writing is one of the most beautiful forms of art there is, and I want to get soaked in it, but it’s been three years and I haven’t come around to writing anything that I could publish, I’m posting this cos it’s a rant, and I’ll probably delete it soon. So yeah, now that this is out, i have a feeling it will act as a catalyst to put me in check, and on the days when i don’t feel like, I’ll pick my pen and write.
