Welcome to 2024, K-Lifestylers! We still haven't picked a name. Oya, run to the comments section and suggest a name for our community.
This is the first post for 2024, and I honestly cannot believe that we are here already. Or that I have been able to carry along people who actually love and enjoy reading the funny things that go on in my head. I am using this blog post and this medium to say that I appreciate every single one of you for being here now and through the times past.
Lol, that sounds so formal and 1950s English type.
This blog post is more of an introduction to Konge Lifestyle of 2024. Believe it or not, I have had this blog for over 3 years and I only started to take up content writing in 2023. Writing was always just a distraction from the world to me. A way of escaping from my feelings, the drama that exists in the world and really just a breath of fresh air.
I guess this perfectly explains why I would rather not write about what I'm feeling but focus on what gets off the feeling at the time. It also explains why my writing is always crowded with humour. I make myself laugh, so I can make you laugh too. It gives me joy, to see your responses and know that it works. That you are a part of the things that happen in my head and laugh with me.
This should be me baring out my feelings, now, I guess. But that's way too much mushiness. Can't be caught unfresh. Get yourself together, Konge!
Let's get to the point of this post.
"Konge, I thought your last post said you are not a preacher of love. Why are you suddenly discussing love now?"
My dear, I cannot continue 2024 with the same shege that I have shown love. I always refused to talk about it, hear it or pay any attention to it. See, love is overwhelming. It envelopes you and makes everything all about itself. This is the actual reason I cannot stand relationship people for the life of me. The part of me that fights with anxiety also fights off everything that comes off as overwhelming. Love is a major one, so in the bin with it.
However, I think love has come to fear my wrath enough and I have successfully tamed it. Rather than let it overwhelm me, I will overwhelm the hell out of love and relationships. Yes, it is me and them this 2024!
One reason I found love to be very overwhelming is how the media has always painted it. This is way beyond social media even. As a screenwriter, I have come to realise that it is almost impossible to write a good romance film without infusing a strong force of toxicity as a conflict that will later be diffused in the resolution.
It also happens to be quite unfortunate that these sorts of movies are where people start to draw their examples and conclusions about love. As they always say, we have parents at home to draw our examples from; as well as several beautiful examples in public figures, but somehow, we would rather let the media and other people's opinions shape our views.
Why else would you be up at 3 am arguing whether or not a woman should wake up at 4:50 am to cook for her own husband?
Sadly, we keep going around in these circles every month of every year, delivering hot takes on love matters. if we are being true to ourselves and facing reality, these subjects go and come because we indeed like love (well unless you are Konge). Why else is everyone getting married every other weekend?
We like love and we all want to do it right, and without inconvenience. And rightly so.
This led me to make the decision to talk more about love and relationships than I ever have this year. I may not have ample experience in this niche, but we can always find out from the ones who have gone before us, right?
With the little experience I have and with the wealth of it that I will manage to lick off relationship and marriage people, we will talk more here till we face reality and do love right. I plan to enjoy doing it here as well.
So in addition to our humour, self-development and lifestyle niches, let's welcome Love and Relationships through the door!
I'm going to enjoy doing this with you all.
If you still haven't commented with your choice community name, I'm judging you a lot!
Your relationship coach,
Konge
