Where should I begin? I honestly don`t know but I will try and write as much as I can. I started blogging last year and it has been an interesting journey so far. I have always love the concept of blogging but here in Sweden most bloggers are lifestyle bloggers which means they mostly blog about what they ate today, how drunk they were and maybe sometimes show some outfits and provoke people with their post. So this really didn`t make me to see blogging as something interesting but one day I came across some girl`s blog and it was of course fashion/lifestyle blog and I just fell in love. Since then I started checking out more blogs. I later decided to start my own blog which of course I didn`t know will even last a week. I thought I would quit soon because I had no camera and my friends were not so much into blogging, (now they are though).
So the blogging started, I got great comments and on my way to town I meet people who reads my blog and tell me they love it. It`s been crazy, my friends were surprised and my family just teases me all the time. Everyone around me started seeing the blogging thing in a different way. But then some months ago, some people decided to start gossiping and writing bad stuffs about my blog being meaningless and so on. I just found it funny and interesting. A friend of mine Amanda said, "if they can be this provoked then you are doing something great". So I held on to what she said and just continued blogging and I am looking forward to greater things. I must say that everyone that comments on my blog are those who motivates me more. Too much lovely people.
Taking pictures has being crazy, the lighting around me is so bad and my camera sucks but somehow I manage to get good shots sometimes. I have now decided to dedicate more time for blogging and we`ll see how things go. It`s being so much fun since I started blogging and yeah we`ll see what the future holds for Margaret Olawumi.
My rules:
1) Tell me how/what made you start blogging and how it`s been so far.
