[This was written over 2 years ago - unedited - and yet, I still did not come back :)]


I'm not going to start with the cheesy, 'it's been a while' line. For one, it's cheesy and two, I have the choice not to start with it and so I choose not to :)


The last time I posted was, what? About four months ago? That being aside, I told myself that I was busy and would get back to this - but clearly, I lied. I was busy, yes. I am in my final year of University and I had a lot of responsibilities to attend to both in my Department and Service unit. It was confusing balancing everything but I knew my greatest priority was my education - and binge watching multiple series when I got the free time to :)


I tried to come back to writing on my Website - honestly, I did - but anytime I showed up, I was so keen on editing, and editing, and editing that I never actually got any work done. And I can tell you a secret, I could spend about 4 hours straight trying to reorganise the site and have no actual work done. So, na who I dey deceive?


The time spent on 'reconstructing' the website could be spent making posts for it - which was a far more important thing to do.


I got lost in the thought of making everything perfect that I forgot to do the actual things that made it perfect - expressing myself. And one thing I had noticed as I edited my site was the lack of definition. I mean, 'Yeah. I stated it. I'm a Photographer and a writer,' but what did I have to show for it?


It wasn't about the design, or layouts, or whatever, it was about the content I put out... that was what gave my platform a definition.


I define my site by expressing myself through my content

My Content defined my site and I was the only one who could make that magic. So, I'm deciding now to drop the excuses and start making content... I guess that makes my site more beautiful than any redesigning could ever do :)
