Is It February Yet?

February, 2024. Already???

Honestly, time has been flying really fast since 2019 and it has been brutal on us. Even January kinda ran fast for the first time.

Yeah, January ran.

Too many planning and long days yet it went by fast. And too many things happened that I am going to share with you this evening. Too many things.

In January;

• One of my best friends asked to stop being friends. I prepared for a long year but never a shock like that one especially because we were on good terms and I had just been at hers days before. She said she decided she didn’t want to be friends anymore and gave no valid reasons for it. Pained and devastated, I did everything possible to get her to speak but her mind was made up. I think till now, I have not fully fathomed the effect of this and just kept at life. Today, on my way back from work, I acknowledged that I had been really hurt and I have carried it into the new month. I deserved a reason after all those years and trust and never got one. What this has done to my zeal for friendships has been unexplainably drastic. Totally heart-wrenching situation. Such is life I guess.

• I worked with a coach for a vision board for the first time and it was pretty exciting to be honest. Having someone give you a fresh and more insightful view on your intended steps is a sensitive one and I am glad I picked the right person to do that with.

• A new talent joined our team. January made it 10 months of running a business and seeing that we are able to fill up important roles gradually just warms my heart. We are growing and it is surreal.

• I suffered a severe skin condition that made me very uncomfortable, sick and ashamed to step out on many occasions. For every time I had to step out, the affected areas were well covered and that was inconvenient. Slowly, I am healing.

• I said goodbye to my friends, moved to a new city and found myself doing many things I thought I could never do.

• I went to church consistently, found a new study plan, spoke to few people about Jesus and even got a pretty soul to come to church with me one time. My biggest win if you ask me.

• I started and completed a 10-day writing challenge that pushed my brain cells and grew my writing platform tremendously. In the same vein, I wrote fiction again.

• I celebrated Aisha’s 30th. For the first time, I wasn’t present on her day and that broke my spirit further.

• First samples for a fashion brand I co-founded were released and that warmed my heart so much.

• I saw my mom and cousin every week and ate with them consistently. Such a blessing….

Quite frankly, I didn’t plan to write you tonight but I feel relieved after sharing some of these updates with you. I am moving, finding my feet again, adjusting to my new clime and consistently going through the wonder adulthood is.

Now, you…how did your january go? what were the key highlights of the month for you? Please, share with me as I’d like to hear from you and don’t forget to subscribe too.

Love,
