An Ode to 2022: A 2020 in disguise

Beautiful dawn picture from pinterest

 Life can be so funny at times, we fall in love with things we used to hate and find ourselves being drawn to things we normally wouldn't  go near. 

Life just takes us through a lot of unexpected paths.

If there is a major lesson for me this year, it's to stop talking down on things that do not affect me or anyone else and to stop the saying ‘Can never be me’ 

In the last one year, everything I was ever sacred of happened, and the truth is people don't really care neither do life does.

Moreover, I am learning to stop hating or complaining about adult wishes, wherever lies your happiness, go there pls.

The word is going to adjust.

While I have always created a form of happiness to keep me alive in periods like this from the past years and without any of that this year, I can say that while I write this; if not in its entirety, I feel something close to real happiness, I feel at peace with myself and although I am not where I want to be, I feel fulfilled and tranquility has found its way to me.

With a new year on the way, I believe my happy days are here and I will be joyous.

No, I am not tying my life to a calendar or time frame but we can't deny the euphoria of new beginnings. I am still the same me, but maybe I’d just play around and do few things differently.

Also, I’m much alive and willing to try new things, so far God doesn’t leave my side.

While I talk about the euphoria of the new year and although it’s just a continuation of the days we have been living, i’m giving myself 3 tasks; 

• set new goals - believe me, I actually don’t list goals, I just do me and hope for the best. But the first thing I’d be doing differently is setting new goals and see how far I can go with achieving them.
• Also, I am new writing terms and conditions for myself and I do really hope to follow it strictly. These will include the standards I set for myself towards achieving my goals.
• Lastly, I am going to get a jar and drop a note of my achievements for each month. While at this; in the same Jar, I’d write random letters to myself to remind myself that I have a right to be here because I’ve earned this space by being born and that to achieve my goals, I have to be audacious with my essence.

Basically, all I am looking forward to is a happy ending.

So if you don’t mind me to ask, are you tasking yourself for the new year too? I’d like to hear from you.

And back to 2022…

To my beloved readers, listeners, watchers, helpers, advisors, friends, fans, and my families , words only will not quantify my appreciation for sticking with me through this roller coaster of a year. Just like it’s predecessors, 2022 was a whirlwind too but enlightening and I am glad I get to experience all of the emotions I feel and challenges life throws at me.

I am grateful and undeserving of your supports, feedbacks, congratulations and encouragement but I still got them regardless. Thank you!

I’d like to leave you with something in return, if like me you  feel you haven’t done much for yourself and those around you this year, which could results from the countless Wins you see on Social Media daily, the truth is life  could be everything but not a race, most importantly it’s a journey. Life is not something we just ‘figure out’. We don’t have it at once.

There needs to exist series of constant growing, learning, unlearning and relearning, and adaption to changes which is very hard if you ask me.

All these winners have had their losses and it’s their time to Win. Why count on losses when your win is on the way??? and with hard-work, prayer and perseverance. I believe the coming year is the year  we get to count more wins.

And by this i am wishing you a delightful new year and Holidays❤️💐🥀

With love
