Am back! Did you miss me? Cause I missed you.
I don’t know what happened but once I stepped foot in this foreign country, inspiration ran away from me and out of the window. Back home before came here, I would just walk to my balcony or go to the rooftop and watch the city, feel the breeze and words would flow from my mind to my pen. In this Kingdom, not so much, I was here thinking, now that I was in the big country, living in a room on the thirteenth floor in view of London city that I would be bringing out masterpieces one after the other. Life however has a funny way of planning itself out, not in the way that you had originally thought it would be like.

I came here, loved it and the city loved me too, had so much fun, mesmerized by the big city, dived into my job, made beautiful friendships, I saw my dreams coming true one by one and I was happy. They say creative people and artists are mostly inspired by their pain, which is true cause I used to derive all my articles from a deep feeling of hurt back then . Now that am happy, now that I have hope , faith, and confidence in my future, where will my creativity stem from you may wonder. At the same time, the guy I used to pay to host my website decided to screw me over, couldn’t reach him, and when I did finally get to him, he refused to host it. My blog with all my articles and all my engagements with my fans went down the drain. Up to now I cant bring myself to take down the link from my social media handles. I always click as I know other people also click on the link to a dead end. And so I lost even the motivation to write anymore and I stopped completely.

Not until recently I went home, and we were sitting with my cousins in brother’s house, reminiscing on our childhood memories. We filled the whole neighborhood with laughter and cheerful noises as each one of us remembered something from the past and shared with the group and we would all burst out laughing, it was magical. But then one of my cousins suddenly asked me, “when is your book coming out?” I was shocked and asked, “my book?”. Yes, all of them now joined in to tell me how they used to love my blog, how they used to look forward to Thursday because that’s when I would post a link on my status and they would read on the articles. My cousins told me that they used to read and love all my articles cause they were so relatable and so close to what they were going through at those certain times. Honestly, I was touched. I didn’t know that I was making any impact till they told me all of those things. They actually thought that maybe I was working on a book. Wow, I could tell that they believed in me so much, if I was an emotional person, I would have cried. I however, appreciated their words so much and took them to heart.

Some months after my other blog flopped, I bought a domain and created a website but then left it at that. After travelling home, I now have this huge urge to write again, I forgot how freeing it is to express myself in this way, didn’t realize how much I missed it. Here we are now, and there is no turning back! You can say home was my inspiration.
Hopefully i continue to make sense, impact and inspire, May God guide me.
