Way Back When😪

Aloha👋🏽 It’s been over a year since I posted something here and I can’t even begin to apologize😫. To be very honest, it has been so difficult for me. Writing, especially poetry, used to come very easily to me but for the past year plus, I have no idea what has been happening to me. I haven’t been able to write a single thing. I complained to a good number of people and tried out a few tips I got but none of them worked out😪.

I decided to go through all my blog posts…AGAIN… and my goodness, I miss the old times🤧. Finally, I decided to drop every weight and commit to posting something this week. Maybe I’ll give a little update on my life since I last wrote here…; at the beginning of last year.

I mentioned my birthday in my last post. It was a few days after the new year and it was such a lovely day. My parents and close friends planned a surprise party for me and it is unbeatably the best one I’ve had so far🥳. A few days after, I went back to school for my final exams like JAMB, WASSCE AND SSCE (NECO). Although the atmosphere was filled with depression and toxicity💀(it’s too long a story to tell), it was so lovely spending the last days of secondary school with my friends and we made so many memories that will stick with me forever✨. I’m beyond grateful for that. Our graduation was more like a church service and was absolutely boring and honestly, I’ve never been happier to escape from an environment😌.

Anyway, university planning hasn’t been a smooth joyride. There has been a lot of back and forth, nonetheless, I’ve somewhat made up my mind (to an extent) ‍🤷🏽‍♀️. I started an A-level programme and I’ve been doing pretty well. I trust God for the grace to continue excelling🤲🏽.

Through 2022, and for the little of 2023 that we have experienced, I have made a couple of new friends and lost some important relationships but above all, I’ve unlocked a new person in myself and I’m loving her❤. I think that is what I’m most grateful for in the past year.

I’m definitely going to try to go back to consistency and I hope I stay committed this year. Thank you to all who have stuck around even after this long. I love you all🌹
