PREAMBLE
Welcome here…
It’s 2024.
you are here
Glad to have you here.
Let’s ride in…
2023….
I entered this year with expectations
just like everyone else
A plan?
Not really, however I was expecting to complete my housejob, possibly write an exam, make certain travels, and start another program…
all I did
However, almost everyone one of these things dragged and tried to snuff me out.
I had to exercise patience for each of them and that meant months of waiting to do each one of them.
I had to relearn patience and the importance of knowing how to respond to difficult situations as well.
somethings will always have to be learnt
I CRIED ALOT
and crude (pun intended)
I had a good share of tears. I can easily shed tears because somewhere in my brain is sensitive to emotions a little bit more. Also, crying helps me relieve intense emotions; good or bad.
I had a lot of intense moments in 2023 and I had to cry out the heavy emotions that came with them.
therapeutic
In these moments, I allowed myself to feel the emotions I was going through, evaluate the experience I was going through and alllow my head to get cleared.
I cried in the last days of 2023 and I was like, this was not the plan.
I am glad I went through all the emotions because it gave me the opportunity to know myself better.
THINGS I WAS NOT ASHAMED OF IN 2023
Being sensitive and emotional: I am happy that I embraced that side of me more gently than I used to. It also helped me regulate better than previous times and I had less mood swings that were difficult to trigger-trace.
Being open about my feelings: still not very open like many people but I am glad I expressed certain cheesy emotions. (I’ll leave it at that).
Being told no: I got in different ways, got my feelings hurt but learnt through it… (I’ll leave it at that).
Being myself: I allowed myself to be and that was a highlight for me. I allowed myself to accept me better….
THINGS I LEARNT
Be big hearted if you are.
Be intentionally kind.
It’s okay to allow things to take a natural course.
Certain risks are worth it.
Trust God x infinity.
Your worries have potentials to be testimonies.
Don’t kill yourself, life is better.
Embrace your body and be kind to it.
You are loved more than you know (I had to accept this).
You choose to allow your ego to be crushed.
Your family is important (sometimes more than you think).
Things will pan out eventually.
You don’t have to impress anyone. Do the right thing, and the right people will be impressed.
Listen to the Holy Spirit (He’s more experienced in this thing called life).
Not everyone who loves you will be able to stay (bear no grudges).
Keep on loving (it is better).
Enjoy people…..
VISION BOARDS?
I have plans for this year but then most importantly I want to do better with my life.
I want to give more attention to very important areas of my life and that may mean taking long breaks from creating.
Am I excited?
maybe…
I want to go deeper into what being in existence means and I want it to be a personal, deep and rich experience for me.
Importantly, give God more room to be in control.
With that being said, even though I have tons of unrealized projects and topics I would love to share this year, I will take my time to share them.
I will give myself time to be
No rush, no urgency to start a series or new topics.
even though I have plenty of them
A PODCAST
I gave some updates here..
YOUTUBE
I started a series in 2023 and will be continuing it this year.
WHAT ELSE?
2024 has arrived and what is most important is that it achieves it purpose in our lives.
I need God more than ever.
2023 reminded me that
I’ll make use of my time and enjoy God’s blessings and learn my lessons.
Have a wonderful year..
Cheers!
