What a wonderful year, It was a thank you post.
It took 2 years to get me into the world of blogging.
The first time I heard about blogging was in 2005 at an AIESEC Conference in Abeokuta, we were all encouraged to document our AIESEC Experience and I got to read a lot of blogs after that.
It is amazing how this blog has evolved.
From documenting my AIESEC experience to my final year as an undergraduate to the bus diary and finally the identity of a travel blog following my adventures in India and Germany and back to Nigeria.
A couple of days back I read some of my old posts and I am reminded of my growth, of the past, of the joys and the sadness that has been my life in the last 10 years.
I remember opening an anonymous blog and having to abandon it when I was slowly unconsciously revealing myself on it. This blog was abandoned then. There are days I wished this blog was anonymous or that I never shut down the anonymous blog.
I miss the days of Aloofar who has now unveiled himself as Chris Ogunlowo, Original Mbeke, Diary of an Exschoolnerd, BrownSkinNaijaChic and all many others who have abandoned blogsville for us.
Even though the blog url has changed a couple of time, the blog name has still remained the same.
I know I have not been a consistent blogger, consistent blogging no be beans.
10 years of sharing snippets of my life with the world has been one hell of an experience.
Thank You to everyone who has passed through this blog, left a comment and sent a message. You have no idea how much this means to me.
I hope not to abandon this space anytime soon.
Maybe someday I might walk away from it.
I know I won't shut it down.
While the zeal is there, cheers to more years of blogging.
Until my next post
