Taking Stock Of The Past Months (Experiences + Life Lately).

There are a million and one things to be said about these past few months. I couldn’t have envisioned most of the things that came with them but there they were anyway. Teaching me. Molding me. And sometimes breaking me apart.

There was joy. The type that comes with congratulatory emails and reconnecting with old friends, however short-lived it was.

There was pain. Both physical from poor health, and emotional – the type that comes with the heart shattering into tiny bits.

There was growth and soul searching. A couple of tears and even more laughter. But none of that matters as much as the fact that I found peace at the end of it all

In March, I scored myself a job in a field I’ve been meaning to try my hands at – marketing communications. Though one of the recurrent things in the goals page of my blog planner was finding a job, this particular job was something I honestly didn’t see coming.

At first, I was scared. So much that I had to build up the courage to actually open the offer email. But now I’m keeping my fingers crossed, and looking to see where this new road takes me.

I’ll share more about it when I hit my one month work anniversary. Wish me luck!

I also had that surgery I talked about here. Right now, I’m super glad that’s finally behind me and praying I’ll never have to go under the knife again (God abeg).

The surgery shifted a lot of things in me. There was, of course, the physical part of it but also an emotional part. It opened me up to what/who really mattered and I spent the most part of April recuperating both physically and emotionally.

I talked a bit more about all the feels I felt during that period on Instagram here.

On a whim, I visited Ibadan at the end of April. This was a daring move for me because I did it solo. Majorly to prove to myself that I could beat my fear and do it, and also because this is the year of “Gbe Body” instead of constantly waiting on other people.

I didn’t get to do much in Ibadan because the sun wasn’t encouraging any exploring and I spent just 2 days but I hope to visit again this year.

Although this has been in the works since February – (I’ve been refining and refining it like crazy), I put together something new! I wanted a prayer journal to help me document my prayer and faith journey, so I went ahead and created one.

My friend thinks I’m sitting on it too much because I’m scared to release it to the world but truth is, I don’t just create these things for creating sake. I want them to really help people and I can only be sure of this by testing it out, getting feedback and refining as much as I have to.

I’m yet to put it out fully, but if you’ll like to get one and find out more details HERE.

Currently?

Loving: Shoes – especially low block heeled ones. Oh my heart! I plan to do a post on some of recent purchase soon .

Excited: About nothing much to be honest. I was excited about the job but now I feel…

Feeling: A mix of emotions. Unsure about this new phase I’m currently in but also super positive and determined.

I’ve also been feeling this wave of loneliness. Not so much that it gets me in a mood but yeah it comes every now and then. I’m fine though.

Hoping: That everything works out and I get to see the bigger picture sooner than later.

I hope that you’re having a good month so far? I’ll love to read your thoughts, experiences/ lessons these past months and what you’re looking forward to this new month.
