25 LESSONS FROM MY 25 YEARS OF EXISTENCE🌼

So I turned twenty fine (cringe????….I know!!!!….but bear with me) some months back. Happy birthday to me🎉🥳, I always knew I’d make it this far and I’m gonna stick around much longer so if you were planning on my demise I don’t know what to tell you other than my condolences and good luck suckerrrr. Trust me you’ll need it!! lol😂😂😂. And yes that was me overestimating my importance in your life. Keep up!!!

This post was long overdue. It’s been sitting silently in my drafts, patiently waiting for me to open it and fill it up with nothingness. And by nothingness I mean incoherent words jumbled up together that only make sense to me and the few who have an insight on how I think, reason and……..( fill in the gap)

Anyhoo here goes nothing……………………..

Life is what you make it. I know!!!!…I know!!!!…you’ve heard that before haven’t you???, from Hannah Montanna I presume (good times and a great hit if we care to discuss it). Anyways life…is…what you make it. But sometimes life is just life, no matter what you try to make out of it. So don’t beat yourself up whenever you feel like whatever you are trying to make out of life ain’t working out. Take a breather, relax and try again tomorrow. Always try again tomorrow. Never forget to try again tomorrow. And no, this is not meant to make that procrastinating part of you leap and dance with joy. It’s just that by the time tomorrow comes, if it ever comes at all you’ll have had enough time to put everything into perspective and hey…..you’ll be a day wiser🤓.

DEUX

Time flies like a thief in the night🎶🎶( I dare you not to sing that part). hmmmm!!! I wonder how those night thieves fly. Like do they have wings or do they come with jets????@ Burna Boy we need an answer mate!. But for real though life goes by so fast so whatever you do..try to live in the moment. I mean, it’s easier to think about what could have been and what should have been and to get caught up in fantasies about the future. Those seductive safe spaces that you create in your mind that lure you in everytime and make you oblivious to the actualities of life and the fleeting nature of time, say no to them sometimes and enjoy the present. Go out, see the sun. Just live.. and live in the moment.

TROIS

Nobody knows you like you do. No matter how good their pretend game is. Your dreams, your aspirations, your goals, be it big or small, the little promises you make to yourself when you are alone, utterly and completely by yourself. Those soft spoken conversations that you have with yourself in the dead of night. You know you better than most so why don’t you use your knowledge of self to your advantage. Don’t let yourself down, put yourself first and work hard to realise everything you’ve set out to achieve.

QUATRE

Take care of yourself and yourself will take care of you. Yes your mind your body your soul. Everything you take in has a direct bearing on the kind of person you are or become. ‘Garbage in garbage out’ my high school computer teacher used to say, when he’d teach us about data entry or some shit. Be mindful of who or what you let into your body. It’s alot of evil people and evil things out here and best believe you don’t want to be intertwined with all that evility*. Surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you and lay it bare for the whole world to witness and attest. Those who know you for who you really are and better yet who your are working tirelessly to be. You know….the peak you that resides somewhere in you that you just need a bit of work and maybe a little more time to draw out….that one!

CINQ

Love for crying out loud and allow yourself to be loved. Lana del Rey says that this life is only worth living if somebody is loving you. And I say that, that somebody could be you. Self love is king.

I know I said 25 but how about you read the five, five more times!!.

What I’ve I been upto??? Well I’ve been preparing for the bar exams and religiously listening to Ann Marie kwanza ile wimbo yake na yung bleu, can’t get enough of it.
