I’ve been thinking about whether I need to keep up with this tradition or just let it die. A part of me said, “no one cares” that could very well be true but I also remembered that I didn’t start writing this blog for applause. So, let’s get into it! It’s 28 eve!!!!
Can you imagine? Another year has passed so quickly or not! So much has occurred and I’ll first dive into the highs of last year.

“I met someone”
I did but they weren’t my someone or I wasn’t their someone. You know you meet someone & you claim them as your own because vibes on vibes? Yeah well, that man wasn’t for me. That experience scarred & marred me.
For someone who always contemplated never marrying, that experience solidified it. I hope it changes someday but currently, that’s where I’m at.

A disappointment that turned into a high.

I registered to take my accounting professional exam!!!! I mean it’s not ACCA but it’s still a win! I’m proud of myself for actually getting that done!

So, let’s focus on the highs & lows of this year.

1. I got a heartbreak that messed me up completely. I’m not completely okay but I’m not ruined like before.
2. I started my homeowner journey again!!! Let’s see how that goes in the coming year! I pray in a year, I have great news to share!
3. I started the master’s program of my dreams!!! This is high that quickly turned out to be low. I had to drop out because I trusted the wrong person again. I had a plan for my master’s. Get the house & then save the money for school. Then out of nowhere, someone offered to foot the bill. Mind you, he’s disappointed me before, I don’t know why I fell for it again but I did & I had to drop out after my first term. The tears that I have shed can’t be described.
4. This is neither a high nor low. I realized I’m extremely traumatized & need therapy. Let’s see how that goes. I pray I can fund it this year because I need to make better decisions. I’m growing. I can’t fault my youth forever.
5. I got diagnosed with an illness related to my stomach. I have my highs & lows but God is in control.

Sidebar: I’m sick AF right now as I write this post but it’s a good day today.

6. I stopped writing blog posts because my laptop died on me. Since I started writing, I’ve used a laptop so I don’t have it anymore and I just can’t get into writing on my phone so that’s why I’ve written less this year. Hopefully, I’m able to afford a new one in the next year so pardon me for my disappearance. I will be back soon!
7. I took a break from social media and honestly I think everyone needs to do that. I see everything differently.
8. I became intentional about my friendships. It’s not been easy but those who showed up in my dark days have gotten me for life. I will always show up for them. And I want you guys to know that I love & appreciate you all. Thank you for the role you each played. I’ll be a better friend to you guys.
9. I joined an online prayer platform called NSPPD. I love it there. Search for it on YouTube. You won’t regret it.
10. I didn’t want to say this but a low for me is, I moved away from God a little. I feel lost and alone. I am trying to reconnect but I just don’t seem to know how. Hopefully, I figure it out and have better news about my relationship with God next year!

Well, folks, this is all that comes to mind and I hope that next year is better than this one!
Happy birthday to me in advance!!!! And may chapter 28 be filled with more highs and wins!!!

Thank you chapter 27. I grew a lot here!

Cheers to a new beginning!!!!
