Helloooo good people, I’m dropping this gist here cos I'm about to go incognito...
Directionless, what more can I say??? Everything has been said, from ASUU strike, packing few clothes for a 2week holiday, uncle Corona and pandemic wahala, #endsars, lekki massacre, detective Fash, Oga onion etc. This year has been a whole lot I can't stop screaming in my head.
Let's dive right in to my directionless, amazing 9 months. I was walking back to my lodge from UPTH where I went to submit one of my plenty IT letters when I heard the awesome news about ASUU strike, a little time to relax,rest and read up wasn't a bad idea. I was also looking forward to my 6months 'fatting room' experience..... If only I knew what was coming.
The Lockdown/holiday started full-time in Avril; Let me not forget to add that my course mates had a chat with our immunology lecturer about Corona around February and we played it off that it wasn't going to last. Welllll it did.
Mai; Burials, weddings, outings cancelled, no more fun but I had my phone(Hallelujah). Started a movie spree, from one seasonal movie to another, eating and sleeping and then boom I started gaining weight. My mom wouldn't let me hear the last of it, i wanted to leave the house, but to where????.
Juin; My mom won the weight loss fight (lol) so I started jogging, I can't even believe it. My relationship with God was growing from baby steps and I was really happy about it. I had my first outing to see my friend/big(small) sister on her birthday and if you're reading this Chimdi this is my 'soro soke' moment, you owe meeeeee big time.
Coursera & Juillet; I enrolled for my first online course which was tasking but I persevered... I lost my aunt also and it was really bad, July was a sad month for me.
Aout/Septembre; Online course still ongoing, i started reading books and I felt my life was taking a really good turn, my relationship with God was on a better level, I prayed more and was even given two positions in church. I started sewing classes which came to an abrupt end for some reasons though I still hope to continue and this was the point I started to feel aimless, directionless. I cried on so many nights and felt really bad for myself... Nothing seemed to be working out,why????.
Octobre; My birth month yipeee, I read more books and my spirit was a bit elevated, I learnt about the power of gratitude and Thanksgiving to God despite the situation. My birthday was amazing I had fun, I also completed my online course and then 20-10-2020 I was scared all over again,like how can this even happen??. May the souls of all departed heroes rest in perfect peace. Schools started reopening and news was going round that Asuu would call of the strike. Mad ohhh where are your books? I asked myself, time to start reading no dulling again o(lol). After 1 week I gave up and continued with my movies. Novembre; the present… My dear, onion decided to up it's game o not be taken for granted, onion now na boss. I lost my uncle at the beginning of this month, it was really devastating.... My Pastor convinced me into enrolling for a 2 week Bible School Program and I enjoyed every bit of it, graduated last Sunday. My cousin got married last week and we went to rock ñ roll... Lastly, I would like to say to everyone that would read this... It's okay to be directionless and very normal to let out your frustrations, let's also not forget that God has our backs you just have to be willing to lay it down, tell him how directionless you feel and he sure has an answer and direction for each person. Ciao good people, Cheers to a better tomorrow!
