It’s been over three years since I blogged an article
that I wrote. This means that I have not written article since then. Yes I know
it’s really messed up! I use to write all the time. Writing was my outlet; my
release if you want a synonym. Lol. I would write about the things I see, the
people I meet, situations I am in and books I am reading…everything. And yes I enjoyed
it. Writing was my love and gosh! I love her so much. For this love, I went on
to publish few monthly magazines for several years, wrote few books
(unpublished) and managed this blog since 2008. I can’t even remember the names
of magazine and sites my work has featured. Not because they are innumerable
but it’s been a long time I looked at anything I have done or considered doing
anything.
Then, few days ago my brother requested that I write a
tribute on behalf my family for my Dad’s Birthday. I stunned myself how I
argued vehemently against it. You would think that something as minute as a
tribute would be an easy pass. But like Jonah and Nineveh, I wanted to run. “I
have not written in years and I won’t even know how to start” I argued. The truth
is I got scared. Yes. Writing scares me now. I have tried few times to blog but
fear kept me away.
Thank God my brother, Segun insisted. And that’s where it
dawned on me how bad my relationship with writing has become. It’s a shame and
even I couldn't believe how long I have been away. I have decided to avail
myself and learn to love writing again. I am not sure it’s going to be smooth
but I will try. Sometimes, it will be few lines but I will keep posting. You
will know when I will not be blogging for a long time.
So, for those asking when am I going to start blogging
again. Here is the answer. I AM BACK.
See you tomorrow.
