WHO SAID CONSISTENCY WAS EASY?…

Me again. 1 year, 2 months and 2 weeks. This is how long I’ve not published a blog post.

Why on earth have I stopped posting for a long while?  Believe me, it is not by want or lack of not wanting; but just I think the issue we face when we push commitments to later…Tomorrow becomes next week, the next week becomes next month, then never… I still have post drafts stored in my folder since last year, I just sat on them because I was waiting for the…perfect moment, I guess?

Going back to university alongside my day job has not helped with time management obviously, in fact it’s been the main reason for me not blogging for this while. I had to get my around my new cramped schedule, not for the faint of heart! In fact, I’ve done a lot of academic writing, but nothing beats some good personal writing…I know deep down I’m doing myself a disservice by not expressing my thoughts in print, no matter how many people read.

I was listening to a podcast earlier this morning, and somebody mentioned the importance of chronicling our lives for posterity by way of pictures, voice notes or journals etc. This resonated strikingly with what my best friend told me once about this blog; she said it would be a fantastic tool for memory work for my descendants…Well, this was the cue I needed to come back here.

I might not share deeply personal details of my life in the posts – this is not a journal – but I share how I see life. Reading this blog gives you, Reader, an insight of my values, my perspective on life, what makes me tick. More importantly, I hope you take away something.

Consistency is my challenge now. I’ll try my bloody hardest.
