HAPPY NEW YEAR
5... .4.... 3.... 2.... 1.... HAPPY NEW YEAR
It's the new year my fair ladies and charming gents.
2019 wheww! Who else thought the year would never end. I must have imagined today in a thousand different ways throughout the year and honestly, it didn't even make the days go faster. At some point, I gave up and started counting sheep because there's only ao much you can do when you have no power over the universe. I would say let's reminisce but I understand a part of me is shutting out everything and processing starting over.
Unlike every other new year, this year is better because I am not terrified in the slightest bit as much as the old me would have been by now. I had cultivated this very bad habit of counting my failures and dwelling on the goals that were underachieved instead of encouraging myself for the good job I must have done all through the year. Reality set in a few weeks ago when I started thinking again on all the things I mentally put up to achieve but knew deep down I could never get in the short span of time leading to today. It was more than last year's and I figured why cry over spilled milk how about I pick up my saddle, gear my horse and ride really fast in the next year? And fam that's what I did. This is a note to self and a moral lesson to everyone that is taking their sweet time to read this: Yes you didn't get everything you wanted, no don't overwhelm yourself with failure quotes. yes just work harder.
Life is beautiful and we learn every single lesson from everything we go through. 2019 made me believe, doubt and believe all over again. I saw that people value people who significantly add meaning to their lives so guys stick with people that add something to your life and be that significant other as well. I saw that man will fail but God will prevail which just goes to say get more intentional with serving God but work hard too. I saw that true friends will put up with you and listen to you rant any time of the day so note the keyword "true friends" and squash every other leech. Finally, I saw that happiness is having a caring, loving, close-knit family, therefore, be grateful for your parents and siblings. This year my family went through a roller coaster ride but we stuck together and we don't look like what we've been through in the least.
2019 is the year I give up on love too because it only gets harder the older we grow, to understand what love really means and I only just realized a lot of people don't have the time to learn even the basics of true love. Just yesterday I was binge-watching "YOU" the Netflix drama about the psychopath guy who loves women to death and I heard something I have heard over and over again; heck must have even told some people but would like to practice in this new year " fix yourself, love yourself, work hard and love your job and then finding someone to love will be the icing on the cake" I paraphrased though.
I want to appreciate life and colors, art and music, food and the sunset and every cliche thing you hear people talk about just when they are about to turn a new leaf because these are truly the only things that matter in life. In a bid to advise remember to save more this year; I am super proud of how much I saved all by myself in 6 short months (man did I deny myself some nice things) it is and was worth it and I am planning to surprise Ope of 'Cowrywise' in 2020 🤣 so help me God. Learn something new, most preferably a technical skill. You would be surprised what you can do with the right amount of data and will on Youtube. Check out courses on Udemy, Coursera, Udacity, etc. This is the year we are going to live like YOLO. Stay tuned for all the good things that have to happen this year to this sweet girl. I might just start working in a Fortune 500 company or move to a first world country before the end of the year. Who knows!!
In retrospect, cheers to an amazing year of love, laughter, tears, smiles, heartbreaks, friends who matter, family who care and God who is ever faithful.
Let me officially welcome you to the new year

P.S The blog is going to be a year old in a few days. Boy am I proud of the progress we've made!!.
