The Evening Walk

"I'm typing this earlier than I'm supposed to.
I didn't start the tracker either.
Even watched TikTok videos....
What is wrong with me? 😦"
Have you ever felt like this before?
When you plan to do something and stick to it....then something pops up and you just can't?
I have, Ami....millions of times.
Especially when it comes to a new activity that I resolve to do everyday.
But over the course of this challenge, I've learned to give myself some slack....
What I mean is, go with the flow of things....especially when I have no control.
Then I try to straighten up...and do better next time.
My dad told me something today....something I hope to remember.
I told him I wanted to take a walk away from the house.
He told me, "you can go....you are free".
I turned around and started to walk, not looking back....A metaphor for him letting me go.
We both knew I was going to come back...we both trusted ME.
For the first time, Ami....I felt like an explorer in the real world. 
I went on foot, took different routes and said to myself, "let's see what happens...if I get lost, I can always retrace my steps back".
The routes led me straight home.
It was a wonderful walk, Ami.
I think I should do that more often....let's see what happens.
I still got that 'interview' tomorrow. (quote...unquote 'interview'....imagine a girl making bunny ears with two fingers on both hands....maybe not)
I don't see it as such tho...I just see it as a discussion.
Maybe because I haven't had one before.
Fingers crossed...hoping for the best outcome.
That doesn't mean I ain't goin do my homework. (What was that?! 😕)
That's all for now, Ami.
"Don't give up on that goal or dream....and don't run away from that fear...stare it in the face and tell it "I'm the boss here, not you!"
Then act like it".
PS: That wasn't a quote I memorized...twas all me...#DuonQuotes 😀

Overwhelmed

Hey Ami....what's up? Hope it's all going well at your side. If it's not, just remember that things will get better.......and it pays to be grateful that things are not worse than they currently are. Well, my day went great...figured out how my work time would go. Explored my former accounts today and started to make some changes. Especially to my IG account. I also started to feel slightly overwhelmed at the thought of how I would manage my presence on these platforms. The people who do it are no different....it all just comes down to planning and systems. I'm gonna explore that as well. And also realized that the Threads platform is quite different from IG. Anyways, I think I would have to plan out how I'm going to show up on my platforms. Although...the goal is my email list...still need a plan. As for this challenge, I got what I really needed out of it.... learning about routines as a way to simplify habits. That's all for now.....typing was not part of my ...

System Update

A simple system update  That was the only thing it took to make my day, Ami. The day started with me trying to type out content...but the keyboard wasn't responding like I wanted it to. And I didn't want it to make me upset so I just adjusted to it...but then I started to think of how it was going to be if I needed to type a response to a message online....(that's me thinking ahead) "Well, till that time comes", was my final thought. I browsed the settings to see how I could remedy the situation (it was really getting to me 😬) Couldn't really figure out anything so I just left it and charged my phone. Then, evening came and I needed to work on a design...the device was still acting up  I snapped, Ami. I went straight to the settings and got to the system update which needed data connection. Started it and stared as the update downloaded...and got installed. "OPTIMIZING YOUR DEVICE...THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE" , was the next thing I saw. Then I just ke...

I Just Did Something Crazy

 Yep! I had no idea I was going to do this. It wasn't in my to-do list. The idea just popped into my head and I thought, 'why don't I give it a try?' What I did? I started this post. The thing is, I think a lot and remember little afterwards. Who am I? Let's just say I'm a twenty year old Nigerian and I'm just thinking out loud. If you're reading this, you probably have a lot of thoughts running through your head as well. The same happens to me. This is my very first post and I want to warn you. WARNING! THIS IS NOT A USUAL BLOG! I started this as a crazy idea and I want to keep it that way. UNUSUAL So, if you like to read about experts and gaming and fiction and life, this is probably not for you. Why I say this? Because the coming posts may be about all of none of the topics you read about. They may be grammatically correct but purely nonsensical. They may be short or long or in rant form. I may not even post regularly. One thing I will assure you is t...
