Life as a blogger

So I started 3 other blogs before my www.abjlovingabujaliving.blogspot.co.uk blog started making a headway. I got thinking recently and asked myself why i had to have three other blogs before i finally started one that seemed like it was heading towards success, I hope it eventually becomes a force to be reckoned with in the blog world.

I finally realised why it did not work out with the other blogs!!!! I was trying to be what i was not. I was moulding myself to what was expected of blogs in Nigeria. I was trying so hard to copy other bloggers, to tow the line of other successful blogs. I was lying to myself. Until i found what i was really passionate about, my various blogs were going to continue to be failures. I don't like being different so I guess i tried to do what everybody was doing.

I finally found my voice, i found what i loved doing, i found what i was passionate about, i found what i loved the most, Nigeria, i found my voice and so i let myself fly. Writing the blog www.abjlovingabujaliving.blogspot.co.uk, for the past six months have been fun, I love to see and hear the pride in the eyes and voices of my family and friends, especially my parents. I wake up every morning with a purpose and with a burning passion, I guess i finally found my calling. I am glad my passion took its time to get to me, who knows what would have happened if it got here before time. This might come out as weird, but my blog changed my life and I am happy I started it.

My name is Iphie Obiechina and I am a blogger.
