*Coughs lightly*
A warm welcome to you, because we all haven't been here since 2018 *avoids eye contact*, I'm really excited to be here and ya'll should lay hands on me later as we all pray that I continue.
THE GOOD...
2020 has been a rollercoaster for me mehn... on 31st of December 2019, everyone was doing their own thing and the only thing on my mind was "God, I want love", "God, I want to be loved". I entered 2020 with faith that it was going to happen, then boom!! February gan, someone came along... this sister couldnt contain her excitement o. Let me shock you, this relationship ended in June because of some very useless reasons I will explain later.
THE BAD...
Fast forward to july, I lost my job but I tried to squeeze myself in the establishment somehow because I wasnt ready to start over(Covid had nothing on me here cause it was a government establishment that rendered essential services, but my contract with them had ended and they were reluctant about retention). As at july I didn't know this so I comfortably stayed till the scale fell off my eyes in October, YO! I dumped their ass and looked for another job sharp sharp.
THE UGLY...
The job came and turned to be stressful, exhaustive, frustrating and annoying. I broke down and cried a couple of times, started to loose the weight I did not have, November/December was my worst moment in 2020.
LESSON
I hope I didn't bore you till this point. This year brought a lot of emotions I never knew I had, I was broken a couple of times and most of the time i didn't have someone intimate to share these emotions with. The thing is, I learnt that life could happen to YOU anytime, and it'll be clear that you are the victim and the protector in one person, this is the time that you turn to your creator(GOD) and submit without checking for where you can be in control. Let go off IT ALL and breath...
I've got a scripture verse for every stage of my life, this has always been a habit. I previously talked about my favourite quotes(mostly scriptural, because they are my father's words concerning me) back in 2018 here, and towards the end of the year the verse that did it for me was(and still is) psalm 46:5
"God is in the midst of Henrietta; I shall not be moved: God shall help me, and that right early."
I'm entering 2021 in a new light, fresh perspective, great optimism, a bridled tongue and a joyful heart.
Cheers to a prosperous NEW YEAR Ore!
