If anyone had told me I would transition so much and go through certain phase where I wasn't sure what I was doing,I would argue cos you see me I always love to plan ahead and infact I figured alot of things out quite early in life,Well as it turns out life is pregnant.
'E'chi di' eme"
Life is pregnant
And over couple of months after I welcomed my beautiful daughter I not only planned my future as I would always do,it turns out you ought before getting it.
Well that has been the case not just for things for me but life choices,I have transitioned through so many stages where one of it was content creating on social media spaces ,one of My shortest lived carrer😂😂😂,and a beautiful one while it lasted,while it was interesting creating and sharing content ,it was also time consuming,it required me to be with my phone most of the time,my toddler now runs around and is very interactive and now wants to see what it is I do with my phone,I wasn't ready for such yet.
So while I had a deep and thorough conversation with myself on how I could make it work with her,it wasn't possible and feasible right now,and once again that Era and phase has ended even before it started,but Good news is I decided to focus more on more on my writing,the day I prayed about it my pastor and friend called and asked about my blog🤔it wasn't a coincidence to me,it was God confirming what I was thinking that my blog needed me more as it was one I needed no ringlight,no apps to edit ,no tripod stand for my toddler to drag with me,it would just be me,my thoughts and inspiration and then my thumbs to type,additionally I also write on my notepad which allows my toddler to copy me and write on hers,this was more of the parenting I wanted for her and myself.
Is anything wrong with content creating?No .it just wasn't for me or atleast not right now.Did I invest my time and resources into it?YES.But it was worth it as I have learnt life skills I couldn't learn anywhere but most importantly I am closer to understanding myself better as a mum and get clearer direction as to what my focus are in the journey ahead of me,so yes it was worth every penny spent and every time invested.ill still be sharing same content I did with videos and reels but now with words,and if you're patient enough you won't only get the short lessons but a well read one.
So yes it is same Glory but a newer and different version,one I am yet to fully uncover,one where I am intentional about my parenting journey,conscious about what I do so I don't unconsciously teach my toddler what I didn't plan to.
And with all that being said,I urge you to never stop,keep evolving, keep meeting newer better and improved versions of yourself and do so with total acceptance,remember the goal is to live out every potential and gift God has placed in you and in that journey mistakes will be made and lessons learnt.
Sometimes when mistakes are made and steps redirected,you might not know what is next or what exactly it is you want,but get this YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT.
This 2024 take calculated risk,get out of your comfort zone and try things within your capacity,live a little and build the life you love to always get back to after the days job,create meaningful relationships, be kind to people even unkind ones.
I'll leave you with this
