*Sigh* I looked in the mirror just before going to bed and it’s honestly jarring that I can’t grow a moustache at 29.
As the famous line goes “It is what it is!”
It’s been an eventful year I would say. In terms of what I’m striving for I won’t say I’m where I would’ve wanted to be but I have made progress. Like anyone in life there are a lot of things we can list down in terms of achievements, goals set and etc. However I want to appreciate God for the blessings brought to me this past year.
I have taken active steps towards my brand wealthy SOE. I paid for branding to be done and bought domain names for all the future websites I’ll be using. A separate post on that to come.
I’ve gotten more active with the SOEjourner, my up and coming passion project. It’s an abstract action series based on the struggles of education and other things. Some steps were made the year before but I started to lay the ground work this year. Again more on that will be posted on the future.
I have dabbled in stocks and crypto currency. What an interesting world it is. It’s certainly not for the faint hearted. I have caught some solid Ls along the way but everything is a learning curve.
I met my best friend officially in August. She is someone I truly enjoy spending time around. I’ve never felt I had to be anyone else but myself around her and even in moments of silence around her I feel at peace. I know content seems like a bad word in this day and age. The same goes for the word settle but not really. It depends on how you look at the word. For me settled is when you come to a calm instead of boiling and being caught up in the highs of life. I am content, settled, at rest with my best friend by my side. There’s a peace that comes with this and I always look forward to our dates. I’ve told her before that she would have a good time because I’ll be there whenever we are about to meet up. But the truth is, I also am about to have a good time whenever she’s there. I had a talk with my brother and I told him I haven’t had a proper female friend ever in life. She was the first one that I let walk through that barrier.
I only wish that I had known her sooner even though we’ve been in each other’s radius for years so to speak. It’s crazy the mutual interests we have. These are things that I compromised in my mind that my future wife may not have these interests so I’d have to share them. However God truly is a mastermind. There’s a gif of Osita Iheme laughing and staring up that comes to mind when I think of it.
Another gif that comes to mind is one of Leonardo DiCaprio raising a glass and smiling.
I say cheers to God for this.
She’s truly been a blessing to me and is my main motivation in life. I see her as a physical embodiment of a hopeful future I’m striving to achieve. Earlier in the year, someone at work was talking about a girl he was with that wanted more from the relationship. I asked him if she pushes him to work harder every day and he replied yes. I said then that’s a keeper. That was me knowing in part but now it’s been realised for myself. There is someone else other than myself (of course my family) in life that I want to strive for.
If my life was an RPG game, I would have gained a lot of experience points during this past year in lead up to me levelling up. So many things have been learnt along the way. I believe one of the main ones is discipline in terms of knowing my weaknesses and working to rectify them. So I’m good at saving and bad at spending. However I’m also good at surviving. This was learnt from uni. I’ve started to get into the habit of always going in survival mode but saving my money elsewhere so that it can rise in peace. This has been a great building of character for me.
All in all thank God for another year of life in this enigmatic world. I pray for many more joyous years to be added to my life in Jesus Name amen.
