Is this the End?

Heeey guys. The title is not a click bait, just keep on reading and you will find out why.

Welcome to this really long author’s note. It is not really a post just a piece of what I wrote in my diary Today about the year 2021.
Let’s talk about the blog, consistent posting and everything in between. Blog Tuesday is the best thing that happened to me this year. The consistency for over 25 weeks kept me smiling for a while till things went south, real fast. Writing was and still is a huge part of me. I know the blog was also a huge part of you. I could feel it in your the comments on the site and in my dm. But then what happened?
Faith, what happened to Faith_daktari?
This is a question I have been asked severally and to be honest I didn’t have an answer to it. A lot of things happened and I can’t really pin point which one led to the writing mishap.

My friends this is the point I explain the end.
As every Tuesday passed by, I told myself that I would write the next week, that I would post the next Tuesday, that I needed a break. I got my break but it ended up being an eternity long. I procrastinated blog Tuesday to a point that its non existence never bothered me anymore. My favourite day of the week slowly turned into the day I hated the most. I just couldn’t come to terms with the failure that I was turning my blog into. However, week after week, I pushed the guilt away and I started living as though blog Tuesday never existed. Then, I thought I was finally setting myself free from the pressure. But could I be more wrong?
The guilty conscious could not leave me, not so soon. How could I just forget the great audience I had gained from the weekly posts? How could I just let go the long night of editing posts, the nights the technical team stayed up fixing hitches and working on the website? How could I?
I had failed the entire team. I had failed the dream that Faith_daktari was. That is why I felt that was THE END. But then this also has to be the end.
The end of the imposter syndrome that made me draft instead of publish a post. The end of the procrastination that turned every blog Tuesday into a normal Tuesday. The end of not addressing the guilt. The end of watching what I worked so hard to build crumble down.
So yes, This Is The End!

Heey you, my dear reader; You who have stuck with me from the first day, you who joined the movement somewhere in between and have tagged along this far, you who is reading my post for the first time, this is for you.

Blog Tuesday will be back in 2022(actually next week). A weekly posts to entertain, inform or educate. All I ask of you is to be part of this movement and watch the magic happen.

So no, This is NOT the end.

See you next week on Tuesday!
2022

Yours truly,
Faith
(Or just call me Faith_daktari)
