Hello Everyone. I appreciate you visiting the site and reading my blog; it’s good to see those pretty eyes again
I really don’t know where to start. I don’t even think asking how everyone is or has been doing is how I want to start this blog. Ugh, a lot has been happening. Life has been happening to me, but all in all, I am thankful for my growth and where I am now. Looking back at how 2023 started, I am very thankful for where I am now. The last few months of this year really challenged me, but I’m glad I took up the challenge and have become a conqueror.
There are so many things I used to do that I don’t do anymore that I wish I could do again, like playing Candy Crush and listening to music. I have really lost myself when it comes to music. Then also, my social life is finally gone with the winds; I don’t go out anymore or even have friends. Let me dive a bit into the friends part. I’m sure in one of these blog posts I would have told y’all how I am not the best of people and have a very shity attitude, so just imagine me being stressed or overwhelmed. I’m like the last person you want to be around. Then also, I noticed people only remember you when you actually post or are active in the metaverse, and using this is generally an issue for me now. Even having conversations is tiring, but I really want to try and improve this in 2024.
December is coming; normally, I would have been saying, Oh, Detty December, I want to paint the town red,be excited about going out, and whatnot, but as it is, I’m just taking whatever life throws at me, and I ain’t stressing. This is my first December where I have full control of how my festive period is, and I’m actually not so excited about it, first because my company does not close for the holiday or the year, so I would be working with no breaks, and secondly because this country I live in is very tough, and I don’t even want to think of all the price hikes that would happen all in the name of Christmas.
Let me use this medium now to say happy new month, merry Christmas, and a happy new year in advance, because I might not get to write another blog post before the year runs out. I want to fight that laziness and spirit of procrastination and write one, but just in case I don’t, That’s the wish right there! So I would be spending the last few weeks of 2023 trying to get my groove back and making new friends. Now let me talk a bit about how you make new friends! I have said that a lot of times, but I’m still deep inside my shell and not ready to go out yet. I even laugh at myself whenever I talk about new friends or meeting new people because personally, I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for keeping friends or maintaining friendship. Basically, I have just never found someone who matched my vibe. I also took up reading novels. I really wish I could keep up with it because my attention span is very low. I get distracted easily, but I’m working on it because I’m trying my best to pick up new things and new fun activities. I think it’s safe to say I’m looking for new things to do because I’m always alone most times, and I’m just learning how to have fun by myself. I don’t want to use the word I’m bored because it’s not like if I’m invited out, I would jump at it, so let’s just say I’m getting used to staying and having fun on my own.
I also didn’t tell you guys how I became a cat mom. Yes, I said it. I have a beautiful tuxedo cat named Hope. lol. When I think back on how I own a cat now, I just laugh. I’m like me, China, who used to be afraid and run from cats. You now have one who you bonded with and loved. Wow, I really did grow this year. Though I don’t think she would not be meeting my family members anytime soon because in my family house we kill cats—yes, I’m ashamed as I write that—my mom actually poisons them and kills them. Her reason being that she does not like cats( most Africans don’t), then she said they would think it’s their home and start giving birth and flooding the place, then she also says and I attest to this one: cats make the most annoying sound while copulating! They sound like they are crying, and it hurts🤷🏾♀️, so yeah, these are my mom’s reasons for hurting cats. It’s so funny that when I got my cat, it was not for companionship purposes; I got her to keep the rats out of my room. It was meant to be a short-term relationship, but all of a sudden I fell in love, and we bonded. Now it’s hope and China against the world!
So it’s goodbye to November and hello to the last month of 2023. I promise to come back with all the juicy, interesting, and also boring things I would get up to in December.
