Re-introducing THAHW

So the other day I was sitting back and thinking, why do I even have two blogs in the first place? I never even write on the other one anymore... I think back then I just wanted something fresh and new, plus I really hated my blogs name! "Through Hell and High Waters", it was a not so bright period of my life and I think that really reflected in everything I did at that time. However, no matter my experiences in life I refuse to become jaded and so here and now I've decided that accepting THAHW as part of my past is necessary and I need to stop trying to get rid of it. It is part of what has made me the super awesome girl I am today :) 

Basically, I decided to merge all my previous posts from THAHW here and really focus on making everything one again, accepting all of myself, my future and my past. That sounds really deep, it's really not! Not much has changed around here though, I edited my header a tiny bit to make it stand out some more, there's a new "Stories & Poems" tab up on top and I got some cute social media buttons too! What do you guys think?

Without further ado, here's my top 5 favourite posts from THAHW! P.S All the post titles are links so click away, you know you want to ;)

1. Staying Single

       This was a little project I embarked on last summer, I had always wanted to write a story or script of some sort and so I dived straight in. It's split into a few parts but I really enjoyed writing this one and I know my readers from THAHW enjoyed reading it too!

2. Geordie Shore: The Complexities of Charlotte and Gaz

        Oddly enough I really didn't expect this post to do so well but it's the most popular post on my blog! It's about the relationship between Charlotte and Gary of Geordie Shore. I don't know why I stopped watching that show, it's so stupidly hilarious!

3. TNC Competition: The Waxen Saviour

        So you know The Naked Convos, the online magazine I write for right now? Well I've been grafting for my position for a long time! This is an entry I made to one of their competitions earlier this year. Sadly I didn't make the cut back then but that just shows, persistence is key.

4. Her Best Friends Guy

         These were the most popular type of posts on THAHW, they're pretty relationship based and talk about different situations people find themselves in and how to act in them, in my humble opinion :)

5. Lagos Nightlife: Four Shots in Likwid

          One of the more recent posts on THAHW, I started getting more and more into lifestyle blogging and so this one's about a trip to the clubs in Lagos and how epic the night was! As they usually are, haha.

Well there you have it, my top 5. Hope you guys enjoy catching up with me :) obviously feel free to read some of the other old stuff, there are some hidden gems in there! I promise :D

Never A Right Time To Say Goodbye

Hey beautiful people… Okay so I feel I owe you all an explanation as to why I’ve been MIA especially as I promised to never leave you again… Well I didn’t really leave but I’m sorry I allowed you to think I did. Basically, what happened was… I moved. No not house, or school or church. I moved blogs… :s Goodness this is harder than I thought. I’ve been staring at it forever now wondering how on earth to post it! It’s a really big moment for me on this side of the screen…

Okay to cut this potentially very lengthy story short I started a new blog. It’s something I’ve been thinking of for a while. I toyed with the idea numerous times in my mind, slept on it, chewed it over everything but I finally made the big decision! I decided to start a whole new blog because I feel that two things have happened. 1. I’m slowly outgrowing my baby! (This blog) 2. I like to feel organised and putting personal things on here just really didn’t sit well with me. So one weekend I made the decision and started up this new blog I speak of; this blog is a lot more personal (pictures and everything) and is basically about my journey to a healthier me with lots more random things thrown in the mix.

Through Hell and High Waters is NOT going to be discontinued though! It’s just going to get a lot more focused. So basically it would have all my short stories, poetry and series (Of which there is a new one in the pipelines, whoop!). As well as my more religious posts. I apologise to all my readers for this sudden change of direction but like I said, you can still find me floating about in the blogosphere!

I guess this is a good time to introduce you to my new blog… Lilac Tinted Views I wouldn’t say much else about it in the hope that you’re curios enough to click the link and check it out! Hehe. Okay and if you’re really not that curious well.. Still click the LINK! You might like it more than this one! There are a few posts up for you to feast your eyes on so far!

I hope you like it, it likes you already! Lol.

Love,
