Thankfulness

I wasn’t feeling quite motivated to write anything today, so forgive me if this writeup looks disjointed in any way, even the writer is not well put together.😂

Today, let’s be merry and let’s be thankful for how far we have come. Some don’t think that they have achieved so much, because they didn’t do a x30 or x-whatever of their salary, I mean, some don’t even have a source of income, but in all of these, I hope you still find something to be grateful for.

I’ve seen so many question threads on Twitter asking people about their highlights of the year, and asking them about their achievements, but I’ve been unable to quote any of them, because I honestly didn’t feel like I achieved anything. Some things are so natural to us, that we don’t realize how big of a deal that they are, that we have those things. Make a mental note of whatever it is you’re grateful for, even it’s just that breakfast that you were able to eat, even if it’s for good health alone. One day, your big win too shall come, but until then, let’s practise gratitude for the seemingly small things.

The fact that you’re alive, as cliché as it may sound, is really something to be thankful for, because as long as you’re alive, all hope is not lost, you can still achieve so much and your life can be more than you’ve ever hoped for. If you feel like this year wasn’t it for you, I hope next year is bigger than you’ve imagined, and I hope you find your path, and your path is beautiful.

If 2021 was all you imagined and more, I wish you a 2022 that’s even more glorious, that all the events in 2021 even pale in comparison to. I understand that success doesn’t come easy and everything that you got in this year, are a result of your hard work, and persistence. May the favours that shine on you and your work, never go away, but shine even brighter.

What I am thankful for the most is the gift of love and the gift of provision; it’s such a relief to have so many beautiful loved ones in form of siblings, parents, friends, lover etc to help you through your dark phase of life, life can get really crazy. Please, always invest in these relationships, nobody can do life alone, trust me, you need your team. It’s easier to believe that you’re all you need when things are going well for you, but sometimes, it gets really lonely, sometimes you need someone to lean on, don’t play with your people.

I will always be grateful for all the resources that came my way, and how when it seemed like I would run out, it kept getting replenished one way or the other, I’m thankful and will never take things like this for granted ever. I could have sworn I’d run out many times, but somehow, some supernatural power said no. I’m truly thankful.

2021 really started out chaotic, and I hope 2022 is much nicer, and brings more relief than chaos, because a girl needs a freaking break tbh. I’m thankful for all the good things in my life, even within all the chaos, and I hope you find something to be grateful for today.

I’m also very thankful that I write, and some people read and even applaud, which is why I had to write today, even though I didn’t feel like it one little bit. Y’all are amazing. I hope you never stop being happy, and to those who aren’t happy, I hope unending happiness finds it way to you.

I love you.

Happy holidays and see you next year.❤️
