RECAP | 01JAN2022

When 2022 begin, I promised myself that I will do whatever it takes to not feel like I'm wasting away. To actually do the things I wish to do and accomplish them.

This led me to taking a break from everything and focusing on me. Let me just say, when you've been distracted for so long, you forget how to do things on your own. The first few days were a struggle but I persevered.

On the second week of January, I had a light-bulb moment! I have a functioning Camera and I have editing software I pay for but rarely use. Well, this brought me back to what I love. Photography and video editing. This was the first time I felt alive again in a very long time. So, I started to do it everyday. I got lost in it and it felt so good. 

Around the end of January, I went to check my messages and I received an invitation to be a part of an audiobook recording. I would of lost this opportunity had I listened to my fears but I blindly accepted. 

In the midst of all of that, the idea of going back to school FINALLY hit me and without hesitation, I signed up for it. 

these are just bits and pieces of what happened during the month of January. I had to step back for a minute to focus on what's truly important and what makes ME happy. You know, making a decision to be happy with or without anyone is something that cannot be explained and I encourage you to try it. 

Dear God, 

As the year begin, you calmed the wind around me and cleared my head. I know that there are more days to count but I believe that your strength will over power my will to give up, be discouraged and lose focus. I pray that you provide strength and patience to those executing their goals for the year, those considering starting and those who only have an idea but do not know how to make it tangible yet. 

Amen.

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED!

You know what's amazing about life? efforts and consistency. When you're in it, you don't see any progress but when you zoom out, the picture is clearer and you understand that what happened, needed to happen in order for you to grow. And in order for you to know that what you need, can easily belong to you if you allow yourself to focus, put it efforts and be consistent! Last year, I needed a second job because I needed to up my income in order to be financially comfortable. I needed to invest more in Glotalks, I needed to clear some debts and I also wanted to spoil myself. When I asked and searched relentlessly, I found absolutely nothing. That humbled me. in hindsight, I was searching out of desperation and would accept anything that came my way. I was even ready to go back and work at MacDonald's if they took me (though, I'm over qualified, I still had hopes). Fast forward to October 2024, my friend sent me a WhatsApp message with an attachment of employment. Th...

Embedded Character.

" Your Character is what will make people listen to you. Not your title." - Dr Michaux Mundala I was doing inventory of how I'm doing emotionally and I realized that, I'm "good" but I'm lacking peace. The way how my weeks have been going, I've been having a hard time coping with days. There has been a wave of unsettling circumstances that has been leaving me drained and they all seem to happen on the first day of the week; Pretty much setting the tone for how the end of the week will look like if nothing is resolved. These past few months have been uhm, How can I say this ... Challenging! I always hear people say that it is not in their character to do certain things and I've always wondered what made them say that in the first place.  Character is the mental and moral quality distinctive to an individual. In other words, it's who you are within. What people see over time. it is what you believe in. what distinguishes you from others. ...

#MENTALHEALTHAWARENESSMONTH

" Everyday, begin with an act of hope and courage. Getting out of bed" - Mason Cooley Let me tell you something about April; I aspire to be more like her. Actually, I think that WE, as a society should aspire to be more like April. Never overstay your welcome! Guys, we finally made it to MAY!!! *crowd cheers*. Honestly, this is my favorite month. I remember when 2020 started, I told myself that I was going to keep pushing no matter what and guess what I did? I pushed. I started off my year in the hospital. Wait. Hold on ... Before I give you a long story short, let me just open up a parenthesis because I don't get to acknowledge my support system often. [ ... I have a friend who became my sister. Her name is Vanessa Jules. My heart gets full every time I think about what she's done for little ol' me throughout the years. I want to give a big fat thank you to her. I'm not the most opened person, but she's been patient with me every step of the way. ...
