It's been a year since I last wrote, okay, fine, a year plus and I don't even know if I know how to do this anymore; by this I mean write.
You know how people say you never forget how to swim or ride a bike, well I don't think writing falls under that category cause I have forgotten, I mean a year is a long time, isn't it? I mean look at how much damage has been done to the Nigerian economy in just a few months.
Anyways, how do I do this? An introduction? A life update or do I just jump and ask if y'all if you missed me; probably not.
Let's do an introduction and then a life update.
My name is Khaleesii, I mean Ophelia, I don't exactly go by Khaleesii these days, can't even remember when last I heard that name, but yeah, I am 25 and Nigerian.
That’s enough for that, let us move on to a life update mixed with why I left hive, THE GOOD STUFF.
A year plus ago I was in a different headspace; broke, depressed and feeling unworthy. While going through these I started writing on Hive and as little as it did, it made a difference but after a while, Hive became a lot. During the time, I was trying to figure what hive could be to me, I got a job and well, I couldn't keep up.
Fast forward, life has been rather interesting, I've moved out to my own apartment, met who I thought was the love of my life, went through a heartbreak, and got back again. Maybe? Started learning so much about money, traveled to three African countries in the space of three weeks while trying to find myself, been in spaces I didn't know I could enter, lost and gained weight, and well, do I stop here?
Anyway, this past year I think with everything that has happened, the most important thing that happened is the confidence I've gained; in myself, my looks, and in my future, I'm still confused and scared shitless but this anxiously attached girl is wayyyyyyy better than she was because I've learned the theory of “let it and let them”.
Moving, I won't lie and say I will start writing every day because, with my job, and the fact that I've decided to pick up a million and one hobbies I'll be lying but I do hope hive can maybe be the escape it once was.
I can't remember a lot of the rules for pictures and tags so please do forgive me.

My darling Ophelia 💗I have missed you!!! This is wonderful to see a post from you. Your little boxes of passion always brightened up my day... And you know what? I completely hear you! As writers, it can be scary when you have been away for a while, and you dip your hand once again in the lake of imagination. But you don't have to try too hard. Just be yourself. Your warmth and authenticity shine through and you are always a joy to read. You are a writer - it's a natural talent. You connect beautifully. Come and write for you... to give creative expression to your thoughts, to process and share. It's cathartic and you are blessed to have the talent to express yourself in voice and by the pen. And then we get to enjoy you too. It sounds like you have been on quite the journey this past year. I hope you now feel in a much better space. Self-love and self-care have to come first before we can engage with and survive in the world. It warms my heart that you stopped to take care of yourself. I love you! And I am on my way to your DM... !LUV !LADY

Hey durlin💗
It's great to see you back from your long hiatus, such experience is the tantrums of life and its challenges. I believe everything happens for a reason and now you have found a new self that totally makes it worth it.
If you ever lost touch in writing here on hive, you have many folks who are willing to nudge you gently till your navigate better! I'm so happy to see you back Ophelia💋
Just always remember that you are one of a kind and will forever be, cherish your unique self.
Thank you so much, I do hope I can find that passion again

It is amazing to see that you went through phases in the span of one year and still emerged strong and even more learned. Welcome back to Hive and I hope you enjoy your stay here.
I came across this post through dreemport
I have realised that phases are normal in life, thankfully I'm learning as I go.
I like your perspective.
Sometimes a break is needed. Welcome back 🌹
Thank you ❤️
You are welcome 🥰
Welcome back, @khaleesi . Life happens sometimes, but as long as you find a way, just keep moving forward. I believe, it can only get better.
From #dreemport, I am a #dreemerforlife
You sure have had one heck of a year right there. I wondered where you had been and who took our songbird away to a far away land. You had to find centeredness, and that's perfectly understandable.
Now that you're back, you don't have to push and grind hard so quickly. I hope you find it smooth trying to ease in. And, by the way, wen khaleesiisings? No pressure, though. Welcome back!
😆 Ive missed singing a lot, I am rusty though but let's see
Great to see you back again Ophelia.
Thank you Ten ❤️
