I be chilling in 2022

Towards the end of 2021, I couldn't wait to get into 2022.

Sincerely, I am not a fan of the new year celebration. What then was the rush all about?

2021 was a bad year for me. I suffered from depression, amounting to different situations. It was a nightmare I couldn't wait to wake up from, I just wanted it to end.

I am at that period in 2022 again, but the good thing is, I am not in a hurry, I be chilling, and I am in a good place.

2022 isn't what I would describe as my best year yet. There were tears, frustration, and anxiety, but I was in a good place, and that's all that matters to me.

As someone who had suffered from depression, I feel grateful.

It bothers me a bit though. My 2021 experience spur my decision to make 2022 a good year.

During this period in 2021, I had got plans and resolutions on what I wanted my 2022 to look like.

But this year, I be chilling, trying to figure out what I want 2023 to be about.

Maybe when I pick up my pen, I would figure it out.

Here is something I know though, we plan, God plans, and God is the best of all planners.

Although, One thing I like to do in the coming year is to live by my name.

Aisha means "the living," or "one who is alive."

And for me, this doesn't mean partying. This means exploring my potential and doing things I want to do.

And that's where writing to you comes to play.

I have been wanting to write to you for more than 2 years now. But, here I am finally taking that step.

Just like last year, I made an intentional decision not to place pressure on myself (na lie, I did, the shege I showed myself ehn) therefore, I am not promising to write to you daily, nor weekly, but I will write to you monthly or twice a month.

It could be about me, it could be something for you, it could be an update, but God's willing, I will write to you.

Will you write to me? I like to know what 2022 was like for you. I promise to read every word of it, and if convenient for me, I will write back to you.
