Halfway into the journey...

 

I'm halfway there and that's because y'all keep encouraging me... Thank you. (Photo credit: Google)

It’s amazing how people take someone’s opinion to heart and turn it to a springboard for unnecessary arguments. I’m halfway into my 365 days journey of writing something daily and in all, I can only be thankful to everyone that continues to read but no thanks to those that can’t respect personal opinions.

Three people weren’t cool with my take of yesterday on Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido and incidentally, they’re all Burna Boy fans. They felt I disrespected their idol with my take and all I can say is “like idol like followers”… Arrant nonsense.

To be honest I’ve had days I felt like stopping, no one has a gun to my head to keep writing but it’s heart -warming to see people hit me up to ask why there’s no new post yet on certain days; I don’t take this for granted and y’all are the reason I haven’t given up.

It hasn’t been easy. There are days I’d be so busy I’ll only pen a few lines; there are days I’d be so blank with topics that I’ll just scribble nonsense and y’all still read. I understand blogger has been moving mad and people aren’t able to drop comments, I still appreciate them in my DMs.

We’re halfway now and it’s harder to stop. We’ve come this far, why not just continue? At the start, I didn’t know it would be this exhausting and I didn’t even think I’d be able to stay consistent, I give myself the roses and I’m hanging it in my living room.

And to those that always have something to disagree about, there’s a place for y’all too. Not exactly thanking you but I understand. I remember how someone nearly punched me because I said Gistlover account should never be allowed to exist; many didn’t like the fact I said pounded yam is overrated and in truth, I said what I said.

It’s an appreciation post, to you all and also an encouragement note to myself. July is here and I’m sure it will bring us the best of good news. May the second half of the year bring us lots of goals, actuals and not own-goals. God bless you all and see you tomorrow.
