HAPPY NEW YEAR OR HAPPY NEW MONTH? 9

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

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!

Note 🌷

Hello?

Hello…

Hello!

Hello!!!!

I am behind writing schedule for this blog. I had three topics I wanted to share in November but I couldn’t bring myself to share them.

I really want to share them and I hope I would share them. However, if I am unable to share them then they would be shared next year by God’s grace.

Welcome to December 🎊🎉

Happy New Month

Last year, I did my first blogmas series and this year, I will do it again 🙈

Last year’s theme was Gratitude and I would still love to use that theme again with maybe an addition to it.

I had planned to share my last fiction for this year but that too would have to be carried into next year by God’s grace.

Blogmas series will start today 🤗 but I will share later in the day.

If you are new here, there are tons of articles to read plus other pages to flip through. You can easily do that via the Menu page.

See you when I post again today……

Redirection ⌚

Preamble

After almost a month.

Schedules will be changed most probably

🙂🙂

To the topic

I remember writing a post reviewing why I started to write blog posts.

I was confident of my reasons and I appreciate the posts that have been borne from it.

Over 200 posts aside pages.

Writing on this platform helped me air out thoughts I could not do easily with physical humans. It was my way of helping people have a fresher, healthier perspective and I enjoyed doing it.

Throughout these times, I have experienced happiness, discouragements and nothing (apathy). All these emotions combined to form memories I treasure.

As a writer, great joy is produced when your work is read and interaction follows after.

I too feel that.

Discouragements are extremely frequent especially when people do not understand why you write or not bother to care why you write. It is deeper when you experience it from people who should do better.

But then…

The question arises “Why did you start?”

That is the question I always ask when I am super discouraged.

My response is “Because I love it”

And yes that answer has been my biggest encouragement 😊

These weeks have been refreshing for me. I focused on other important aspects of my life and gave them good attention. I reflected on my intentions. I reflected on purpose. I reflected on my reactions. I reflected on human relationships. I focused on my relationship with God. I reflected on my space, and what it meant to be socially distant and feel comfort without interactions.

Mild Advices

  • Always know why you started
  • Expect disappointments
  • Be prepared for joy
  • Be prepared for discouragements
  • Always reflect
  • You can take time off
  • Give with a healthy mind
  • Always check your heart
  • Be ready to forgive
  • Some people may take you serious
  • Be happy with your work. Enjoy it like a fan would do.
  • You will make mistakes and that makes the journey more fun.

I have said enough.

Deeperlook

I have always been intentional with my posts. Few have been spontaneous.

However, I will be more intentional with posts and will not continue with schedules as I started four months ago.

The direction of my posts will be less generalized and more focused on relating experiences with my faith.

I will not take down older posts because most of them gave these vibes already.

Like I said, I will be more intentional. 😊

Small Info

By 30th May, THIS IS THE END will not be available for free.

So you may like to check it now in the Books section in the Menu button.

If you are here for the first time, there are so many interesting posts to read 😌

See you next time.

Do not forget to check the remaining books.

🌷🌹One of the things I thought I wished I did (IMPROMPTU POST)

🌷

NO PREAMBLE

I just thought of this and I wanted to write it quickly before it evaporated from my head.

When I started this blog, I wanted it to be purely for my new recipes.

I dont even know how I came across wordpress but I do not regret using it even though I am still on a free plan, and never earned anything from my more than 100 posts I have written for over 4 years.

I have grown over the years in my knowledge about social media and I am still on that journey. I am still unravelling how to use the internet wisely to benefit myself and others.


🌹

As I stood in the ward hearing the teacher explain an x-ray, I thought about this blog.

I thought of my hashtag which I have been using for 2years now :fromamedicalstudentfaraway

I thought of niche

I thought of my pattern and how I love to always touch everything around me.

I thought “What if I had limited my blog posts to talking about my journey in medical school?”

What if I had just shared the hilarious and interesting and crazy and beautiful moments I had during these years?

Won’t it have been better and more interesting?

But then……

I love every single post I have posted here because they were real and from my heart.

I still love the statememt for my blog and maybe in the future, I may be more specific (maybe)

So my journey to being a student is coming to an end, it is beautiful to note how I have evovled over these years and how this blog has served as a positive outlet.

A shout out to for the new follow and to all the new followers…👇
