An intro... Or is that cliche?

I'm Oyin. That's an abbreviation of my name, but that'll do. In fact, you're asking for too much you'd like to know more.

Im Nigerian AF: I love the food, the people and most of the culture (don't worry, I'm most certain I'll get onto that topic soon). I'm born and bred in the United Kingdom but, you can't tell me anything about my people, that I don't already know. I feel like, being "Nigerian AF," may give rise to the assumption that I love blackness. That assumption is completely true. I love it.

I'm blunt for the most part. The people around me know that, if I am uncomfortable around something/someone, I will make it clear where appropriate and or, disconnect myself from it/them as much as I feel possible. I like this about myself but, i also feel like this part of me could be worked on. This side of me is reflected in my humour. My friends know, my boyfriend knows and, my family knows. Netflix also knows because, I am always looking for Australian comedy on there.

I am a Christian. I am learning: about God, about myself and about transparency.

Onto why this blog even exists...

I've wanted to do this for a while. I actually tried it some years ago on google. Is that even a blog space? I don't know why it didn't work out but, i know there was no passion; it was just out of curiosity. I don't even think I made it to adding even one post onto that page. I also remember not liking how to navigate that page. I am somewhat capable of navigating this one, obviously.

I became motivated to make this blog because of a dream I had. I don't even remember what actually happened in that dream but, I woke up thinking, "Yeah, I need to make a blog." As I'm writing, I'm watching Youtube and the WIX ad just came up. Tell me this blog is not meant to happen! So, yeah. I believe in signs - within reason. I also have some moments, experiences and decisions that I have recently made/had, that I would like to share... Even if it's only me who will ever read this blog. It's cute seeing your thoughts materialised.

I don't know what I would like to gain out of this blog. I do have an idea of what I would like to put out into the universe. I just hope the passion I do have now, will not burn out.

So here's a picture of a new leaf, a manifestation of this journey and my theme for this year (as shambles as it has been), and this blog. Theme: growth/new beginnings.

Cheers to that.
