I Quit my Job to Start all Over Again in a New Career

Dear Diary,

I t’s yet another day working from home. It was fun the first days but now a week and few days later it’s getting scary. It feels like the disease (COVID-19) is killing our 2020 dreams as well as taking lives.

It’s insane. Numbers keep going up, people all over the world are dying and still no cure in sight.

I am still hopeful though. I have managed to stay sane and let go of what I can’t control. I love to be in control but this disease has taught me that no one is, but God. I am grateful that I have food, shelter, great health and internet. I don’t know about tomorrow but hey, I am alive today.

INSPIRATION

I Created a Gratitude Journal and I am Using it to Get my Life Together

I am going through my journal, reading my entries from earlier in the year. I can vividly see the girl I was. I can almost touch the emotions I was feeling when writing on the journal. The fear I felt behind the mustard seed-size faith, when I wrote my affirmations. The self-pity vibes I had to kill before writing out what I was grateful for.

Oh, when I think back to that time, to the challenges I felt were insurmountable. To the celebration of small wins, I am proud of myself and how far i have come. Still, I can’t help but wonder if life is repetitive. We go through tough seasons in life, overcome and smile again only for a new tough season to come our way later in life.

Broke Moments: The Millennial Hustle Life

Ionce counted fifty shillings to my name. I felt scared and helpless. I had started a new job and I didn’t know how to get by. It didn’t help that I am a planner. I was the person who said “I am broke’ when my account had some emergency funds. This time I was broke-broke.

Adulting came full on me. I felt disappointed and humiliated that I had to ask for help. I felt anger towards anyone who had said school was the way. I won’t lie; I still do on my worst days. I haven’t figured out this adulting thing yet, I still get in debt, have great financial days and down days. The government still claims I owe them for a degree I haven’t reaped benefits from so, yes, I am adulting.

Couple Goals: Why I Think This is Just a Social Media Hashtag

I had a conversation with a friend on whether our parents’ relationships are our couple goals. She made an interesting point. She pointed that as adults we can come out clean to ourselves on the kind of relationships our parents had. We can differentiate between them being great people, great parents and great lovers. We can then decide if they’re our relationship goals.

Our parents aren’t the only ones we’re looking up to as relationship goals. Beautiful filtered photos of couples on social media are now relationship goals. When couples decide to share their life on you tube we put them on a pedestal. When they share their travels and dinner moments we add that to our list of a perfect partner. One you can travel and dine with.

Netflix and Chill: What to Binge on Netflix this Weekend

Hello Weekend!

I remember for the longest time I was the “movie recommendation girl.” From my siblings, cousins to my friends, I was the one you called when you needed to watch something. I guess I had a lot of time in university and spent it catching up on shows.

Adulting happened and now it takes me weeks to finish a series. I have what I call adult guilt; the feeling of I could use this time to do better things because I’m now an adult.
