“Its Been 4 Years, 48 Months, 209 Weeks, 1460 Days, 35040 Hours, 2102400 Minutes, 126,227,808 Seconds and the Miliseconds Counting…”

A New year and a couple of rebrands later. Celebrating another Milestone and my First Love. I still can’t believe its here, yet another year with my content creation bundle of joy… I don’t know where I would have been without it to be very honest… But I thank God every day I am able to wake up and do something that I love with every single day! – Even on the roughest of days.

Just like love, you have your good days and your not-so-good days. As much as I am in love with all that goes into content creation. It takes a lot more from a person (because tbh there is a lot you didn’t know when it comes to content creation) Having to do it every single day requires a lot more discipline. If I am being a little too honest, somedays you may not feel like doing any of it. The discipline part of it is what gets you grounded.

4 Years of Blogging Later… I have had it Rough Lately

Now that I have clocked 4 years, I don’t feel like doing this. I don’t know how to put these feelings into actual words because I feel like once I actually hit the send button it’s gonna be out there for everyone to see it and in a certain way. That would be me admitting defeat. I know without a doubt that I love creating content and I know I can be the happiest girl when I am in my creative bubble, but lately, I have not been feeling that… By lately I mean its been going on for a few months now. I have been making Youtube Videos but that has been a different side of content creation and most of the videos that are going live right now were pre-filmed a few months back.

I don’t know where I am getting this demotivation from. Having to deal with a lot at the moment. This included house hunting, which proved to be a bitch, excuse my language. For most of the holiday in December, I spent it trying to house hunt. Its harder for me because I honestly have an expensive taste that doesn’t match my bank account -LMAO. So after what seemed like forever, which was truly 3 weeks – I got a semi-decent house that needed a lot of TLC…

Then I had to travel for New Year…

Somewhere between house hunting and shit in between I sorta caught feelings for a person that I shouldn’t have in the first place (a few months back – a story for another time OBVs). –  So add to cart, House Hunting, Moving over Christmas, traveling for Newyears and catching feelings I was a handful. Oh did I mention I was alone for Christmas. As I write this I feel like I was honestly shutting most of these feelings, because sometimes I can’t be bothered to deal with shit. – As we all

Just when I thought I had hit rock bottom (an exaggeration on my end really…) Remember the house Studio apartment that I was in love with but needed a lot of TLC well I finally got a contractor to come in and evaluate the cost of the renovations. Mind you I needed to turn the Veranda into a room so renovation in this instance meant actual FREAKEN construction with an S. He gave me the assessment and I paid him for all the works and then some in advance. A rookie mistake on my part as I come to find out soon.  This idiot of a man varnish 2 days later with the money and a half Chicken brain of work, which brought me back to square one… This left me a penny short and restless. Now I had totally HIT ROCK FREAKEN BOTTOM.

I can’t work in random spaces for obvious reasons, I need a designated place to have my workflow. Having to do a lot of Renovation Construction that stagnated my creative side and left me fully stressed. Mind you my leave had just finished and I was supposed to be back in the office to work full time.. with an hour of gym later I was left with zero time on my hands to tap into my creative side…

I finally organized new funds to get the house Reno on the go. To say it bled my bank dry is an Understatement… 2 weeks later my house is finally coming together and I am so close to calling it Home… Hopefully, this will allow me to set back my home office and create content that you lots actually deserve and contents that I wholeheartedly love.

The Love of Blogging

–

I have always had a thing for writing, something I had known quite early on… The first time I knew this was a sure thing back in 2005. When I got published in the school article magazine and ended up winning a UN price for the article. – My dad still has this achievement framed. I knew I couldn’t sing to save my life but boy could I write for the entire nations…My love for writing kept growing and it never came as a surprise. My dad has to be one of the most vicarious writers I know in real life.

The story of how I stumbled into the blogging world doesn’t come as a surprise. That is, if you have been an OG follower. I have shared it over and over in this space. I talked about it on my About page and the Blogversary series. Speaking of the OG followers. You guys have been my solid support and I couldn’t thank all of you for cheering me along the way.

As I mark this 4th year of Blogging that turned into a whole spectacle of content creation, I hope to create doper content and to be able to fall in love with Content Creation Again.

To More Anniversaries to come & A Very Happy Valentines to all Kymmiee Lately Lovers.
