TO NEW BEGINNINGS & MY QUARTER - LIFE CRISIS 😆

So about the tittle, absolutely do not judge me.

It has been over a year since I last checked in on here. The inconsistency!!!! I am sorry and ashamed. 😅 this is definitely all on me (obviously). Moving forward, I will be writing at least once every week.

End of announcement.

Lerrus start........

My twenties are exhausting!   I am at that point where I feel nothing is happening. Nothing seems to be going my way and yet the days slowly go by. Time is passing and I am growing older without getting to where I want to be. Now the challenge with this is that I still hold those beautiful gratifying ambitions where I planned to "rule the world." Have a part time simple job during my O AND A' level vacation, Finish my university by age 21,get a well paying job, buy a car the following year, travel every year, be able to buy whatever I want whenever I want, find another better paying job that I love, hopefully get married, start a family, travel with everyone at least every year....and repeat. Plus I had not quite figured out what follows after that part

Growing up, we all have/had these amazing dreams and aspirations. I remember watching Criminal Minds the CBS criminal procedural series and being amazed by how the FBI always got the criminals or serial killer at the end of every episode. I loved it so much that at some point I wanted to be an FBI agent.  😄😀😆😅 I also remember my dad being displeased with this - to say the least...well, because he knew! Look where I am now, miles away from everything I just  mentioned in the last statements. 

Reality is much different. Adulthood is a scam people! 

Juxtaposing ones life with every other person out there does not help things. I mean look at Kylie Jenner being named - by Forbes the worlds youngest self made billionaire in 2019 at 21. Let me bring it closer to home, I see my agemates, and a couple of friends who seemingly have their lives together. I use seemingly because that is me, on the outside looking at their lives and making conclusions based on only what I can see yet they alone fully understand their situation. Again, the reality is usually different. 

Occasionally, when me and my friends meet to eat and laugh we also talk and wallow about how "miserable our lives are." About how we feel left out, like everything is happening for everyone else but you. And worry about how stagnant our lives are. This is quite interesting for me. While I  think my life is not shifting and admiring someone else's, that person also thinks their life is at a standstill and probably wishes they had mine. The IRONY! 

Interestingly, while we are caught up in this loop of discontentment and frustration, a lot is also happening for us. Little wins, that we almost keep missing... We Millennials have the privilege of talking about these issues. Talk, talk and talk.... Venting is in a way very comforting.  A couple of times when I whine about it to Kiiza Kimbugwe she always shuts me up by saying, you are a young lady. You still have your whole life ahead of you. Just be THANKFUL! Steve Onyango too..... sometimes it is annoying how 2 people can be soooooo positive when what you want at that time is a pity party, some consolation  and $1,000,000 deposited on your account.

I have come to  learn, sorry, I am painfully learning to be patient with time. To accept that most times, It is Actually One Step At a Time, Learning that things do not happen for all of us at the same time and neither do they happen the same way.

So while I am not necessarily where I want to be, I will celebrate the fact that I am not where I was a while back. [cliche right?]  I am older, I am getting wiser, I have made a number of mistakes, I have learnt some lessons, I am able to feed myself, get myself a few not-so costly purchases, travel (mostly within) every once in a while as I wait for the next day, and optimistically start afresh and do better, work smarter, smile more and live a little.

Before i forget, December is upon us, spoil yourself or a loved one a little. Check out these amazing items at Amazon. Make a purchase too by Clicking on the links below.
