Vlogger Sharon Mundia, who is renowned for her ‘This Is Ess’ blogging platform, has announced a break from content creation.
Mundia, one of the pioneers of lifestyle blogging in Kenya, implied that she has been struggling to find fulfillment in her career.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about my career, the work that I do and I’ve just started to find myself questioning what it is I’m doing and this isn’t the first time. I’ve had such thoughts in the last five months, where I just don’t really feel like I am and if it has any kind of impact. It’s just those kind of existential type of questions what I’m doing with my life and I think for a while there I had decided to focus on and so I asked what are the numbers, how much are we making,” she said on Instagram stories Tuesday, May 24.
Sharon said she thought about taking a break for a year but bills won’t let her. She mentioned she is not happy at the moment and she has been struggling with sleep.
” I had a conversation that helped me realize my why on blogging after taking a year off. In fact in the last week or so I thought maybe I should take a year off, but a year is a little much coz bills, so maybe a few weeks to just kind of sit and think through coz I’m not happy with where things are. I’m really not happy and I’ve struggled with sleep. I’ve struggled with where things are. I’m not not really happy and I’ve struggled with sleep. I’ve struggled with so many fronts and I want to do right by myself,” she added.
Ms Mundia said she is taking a step back to figure out her purpose.
“Not to say it’s bye I’m out, it’s just to think more intentionally and strategically and holistically about what it is I do and why I’m doing it. I don’t want to blog just for money. I’ will step back. I’m not sure when exactly but for a good chunk of time.
“I’ve lost track of why I’m doing this. Not to say it’s a complete 180-degree change so that it’s not just finances and money getting me out of bed.
“On my end, it feels like I’ve completely lost it.”
