My Lifeline.

Writing has never been a hobby to me, instead it was a lifeline, an outlet, a channel that had helped me to communicate my thoughts to others.

I can still remember very well sometimes back, when I was with my ex. I couldn't talk about issues that was affecting me and things he was doing that was unpalatable to me and so being an understanding person, he allowed me to write my fears and channel my anger into notes and he always took his time to reply back and same as my friend-turned-sister, whenever she got on my nerves, all I could do was write it out, I couldn't talk.

Since writing is not a hobby, sometimes I find it hard to write for a short period of time. It just feels like there is no inspiration coming especially when I am facing some challenges.

If you check my articles, you will see that everything I write has a little dose of personal experience or someone's view.

Further into my writing career, I realized that motivation is my forte because all my life, I have had reasons to be motivated and it had become a part of me so I guess it wouldn't hurt anyone if people can be motivated as I have been.

After a while, I discovered that talking to people helps a lot because everyone has different views on different topics.

That was when I learnt not to put down anyone because even the worst of the worst has a solution to offer and the best of the best has a story to tell.

The main reason for this exposition is because i  have been going through some things recently and I have been talking to a lot of people and somebody said something that struck me which is that I don't write anymore and he went ahead to encourage me by telling me he has been reading my piece as far back as two years ago.

Then I realized that no matter what has happened, no matter the put-downs I have had from people, no matter the drop in fans and respect, my writing skills are not going anywhere and so I have to pick up my pieces and put it all back so the world can see the beauty I can create even in my broken state.

Happy birthday anniversary in advance to me, Olufunlola.
