This is my first article in 2023. Yay!! I am so excited about this new chapter of my life. I did some yearly reviews and was surprised by my achievements. For starters, I actually committed to online training from start to finish. Well, make that two. Actually, three.

The first one is the Virtual Tribe training for virtual assistants and the second is Treford’s Product Management course. The final one is Ingressive For Good and MoneyAfrica Financial literacy training.

Just that alone makes me so happy and proud of myself. There is also getting my damn ass out of my bed to write for once. There is a fanfiction series I started last year that I just updated. It took me that long because I kept procrastinating and had an artistic block. This inspired me to revisit my old stories and update them. Might as well finish that web novel I started in 2020, but never revisited because of that incident. Come on Dami!! You can do it!!!

I might as well put Notion to use to plan my content and put myself out there.

I was hesitant about starting a YouTube channel as I was not sure about what sort of content to put out there, as I feel I am struggling with my brand identity. What sort of content do I want to be known for? That is the question I keep asking myself. This came up in a conversation with a coach. She asked me about content pillars and I could not properly answer her. That is what I intend to solve come 2023.

My birthday is ironically on January 25. Might as well do something special for the day. Maybe an e-book with poems or something. Will let you all know in due time.

I am slowly trying to figure out who I am because I never got the chance to sit down and think for myself. I kept on thinking about others but myself. That changes in 2023. I am going to consider myself more now.

I recently did a Cruella De Vil braided look. Might get experimental and do something for my birthday. Maybe Dio Brando-inspired. What is with me and villains?

Ever since I got married, I have been learning to set boundaries, especially with my Mum. She does not like it one bit as she is used to treating me like a baby. I am the last born, yes but, I deserve to be myself and create the life I want for myself.

She is the typical African mother which is a challenge in and of itself. I am still learning and I will make mistakes. It is normal. That is why we are humans.

I am going to write more and keep growing and learning. Let’s see what 2023 has in store.
