December 2021 — Floating

The month went by me so fast.

A lot happened and I had to immediately transition into autopilot mode to be able to handle everything that was being thrown at me.

I organized my longest trip yet — 6 days and 5 nights. It was lovely having all these people around and going on such a sweet trip across 4 North regions in Ghana.

However, I still missed my alone time and just ended up floating.

This revelation has taught me a lot about myself — my solitude is what sustains me.

I also gained admission to start an MSc program in the new year and I am unsure if I am mentally prepared for it — may be because it all feels so surreal.

I also moved into a big self-gated apartment with my pets. I am still sitting with this and trying to process if I actually did all these. Still feels unreal and I feel I am living a borrowed life that might just be taken away from me soon enough.

I will acknowledge that good things have happened to me and I am still learning to handle my blessings with care and intentional commitment.
