Hello, I'm breaking the 4th Wall


Hello, my dear readers!


I missed the past 2 days of blogging. It's because it was the weekend. What I have resolved to do is not blog on the weekend for the foreseeable future. That's because I'm still experiencing technical difficulties (I haven't yet decided if I want to keep obnoxiously calling it that or just tell you what it is but it's connected to a bigger issue so this will do for now). The other reason is that I'm genuinely gonna be busy until the end of the year, as silly an excuse as I realise that seems.


So, where are we?


I think we're due for an update. It's been about 2 weeks since I made the commitment to daily journalling and I'll tell you that I've seen improvement already.  I am feeling more clear-headed, the 'flow' of writing is coming easier, ideas are flowing (that hasn't really been an issue) and I am developing the muscles needed to see them to fruition. It's rapturous! As a matter of fact, I'm also better processing and regulating my emotions, although that might have less to do with the writing and more to do with the direct work I'm doing in relation to that. Anyway, I'm glad I'm doing this.


There have been days when I struggled, but I made sure I honoured my word to myself by just doing it. This is however not the first time I've made a promise to myself; and I've broken several of those so what makes this time different? I think that oddly enough, pride might have something to do with the success I'm experiencing here. A1 for openness right here.


I pretty much just allowed myself to perpetually remember that I had to do the task, and it couldn't just be ignored. For example, I'm powering through writing this for a number of reason but here I am building some me some bad boy muscles. Allowing myself to remember both the importance and perpetuality of the task at hand is usually a great place to begin to break the hold of procrastination.


More to come on tips later (oh my gosh, am I am influencer now????) lol!

Signing out on a silly note.

30 Facts About Me As I Turn 30!

Image
Meandering through life like a winding stream, I came upon a plain of wonderful delights and realised with much surprise that my leisurely trek had spanned 3 glorious decades. I turn 30 in a few days! What an awesome privilege to have walked this floating ball of wonder for 30 wondorous years. 30 years of delighting my parents' hearts; 30 years of skinny ankles that have always supported my full bodyweight; 30 years of a strong mind that shoots out creativity like a prism; 30 years and 3 magnificent 'decade balls'; 30 years of falling headlong into the beautiful, complicated, frustrating enigma that is me. In honour of my 30th, I have decided to write down 30 ragtag facts about me. Things I find beautiful I think it is only right to begin this list with the beauty that I see in life. 1. Babies. When I see a child, I see a lovely little blank slate, perpetually drunk on life and joy. The dangerous curiosity, the unquenchable desire for learning, the unreserved smile, the una...

A Positive Example of Community

This past weekend, I travelled by train from Lagos to Abeokuta and back again. It was exciting and I had a grand time! On my train on the way back, I had an experience that has left an impact on me. There was a fracas relating to tickets (I believe the train attendants sold more tickets than there were seats on the train; more on that later). As a result, I had to sit on a seat other than the one assigned to me, between 2 people, one of whom had a little baby. Scarcely had I sat for up to 2 minutes before said baby starts cooing at me, reaching doggedly for my phone, smiling drooling smiles at me and being so darn adorable. I loooove babies and am always excited to play with them, but this day I would have rather just stayed on my phone and taken my Duolingo course to wind down. But the baby kept reaching for me and when a baby reaches for you, you drop what you're doing and pick them up. It's the law. So with permission from her mum, I took my new friend Erioluwa in my arms a...
