My head is blank

-

Today is one of those days when nothing is coming to mind. I have a lot to say, yet at the same time, I feel like there’s nothing to say. I could write ten pages about how I spent my day and still feel like I’ve said nothing at all.

I was looking at pictures from last Christmas Eve, and I was full of smiles. Although I don’t have everything, I’m glad I’ve made significant progress. I could go on to list many things I’ve achieved within a year. It hasn’t been an easy journey, but I’m grateful that I can look back and take pride in the man I’m becoming.

Or should I talk about how I just came back from a late-night drive with a friend? Nah, it’s probably pointless. It was just me and Marius, driving around town and catching up on old times’ sake. Still, it was really nice.

Or should I talk about how I managed to sort out my insurance? I went from £252 to £78—that’s one of the best things that happened to me today. All thanks to the good people around me.

Or maybe I should talk about a friend who passed his driving exam today after several attempts. Hearing the news made me so happy. I’ve been there; I know exactly how that feels.

Or should I mention my conversation with Ridwan today? Our call revolved around how women think. We weren’t being sexist, but we talked about how many women worry about their next meal and about looking younger, and how saving money often isn’t a priority.

Or should I talk about how Christmas no longer excites us the same way, because we’re the ones paying the bills now?

Or should I talk about someone texting me out of the blue asking for financial assistance—when I need more than financial assistance myself?

I could write extensively about so many things, but I don’t want to—even though I already have.



I wish you a beautiful Christmas.

Remember to share love. ❤️

Did you remember the new phone I told you about a few days ago? Yeah? Well, I got back from work today and told myself, I didn’t buy this phone to become a shelf king. Why keep it and not use it? I’d been too lazy to transfer my data because I assumed it would be a long, stressful process. I hardly change phones — in the last 10 years, this would be my third phone. I don’t like changing phones for any reason, which is why I always think long-term whenever I buy one. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I asked ChatGPT how to transfer my data from the old phone to the new one. Apparently, it was a very simple process. I followed the steps exactly as they were laid out, and in a few minutes my 250GB of data began transferring. Since it was going to take hours, I took the opportunity to clean the entire house and do some laundry. Still transferring… so I jumped into the car, went shopping, came back home, had my dinner, and shortly after — everything had been transferred. I went straig...

It’s getting lonely now.

 Hmmmmmm For the first time in many years, the idea of building my family is truly appealing to me. The wife of my youth, my little ones-to-be, my sanctuary, and my heart’s work—all of it is starting to make sense now. I’ve always shied away from any conversation about family; not because I don’t want one, but because I feel I’m not ready. There’s so much I need to put in order, and I feel far from the goals I’ve set for myself. I remember one of my mentors calling me a few months ago to ask about my plans for raising a family. I quickly told him I wasn’t ready—and in truth, I wasn’t. But will I ever be? Today, I went Christmas shopping. Everyone in the store seemed to have their wives and kids with them, picking out what they needed for the holidays. The place was buzzing with excitement—kids choosing their favorite toys, husbands and wives looking at decorations, laughter and chatter filling the air. Looking at it all—the atmosphere, the moment, the feeling—something stirred ...

Build systems

  Welcome to my December blog Day 26, A lot has been written about 2023; virtually everyone wants to have a better year. 2023, I want to do this; 2023, I want to achieve that; 2023, I'll get this; 2023, I must be in this position — Great! Aspiring is good; it's good to have visions for next year. Moreover, you need to build a system. Your goals and aspirations are what you need to achieve. Building a system is the how. Here's what I'm trying to say: I was with one of my kid sisters yesterday, and I watched her talk passionately about her business dreams for 2023. After listening, I knew she had a great vision, but the How was missing . Can I further explain using one of my 2023 goals? Goal (what): to read a minimum of 24 books. System (how): A year has 12 months. To read 24 books, I must finish two books in a month — one book in two weeks.  If in two weeks I can't finish a book, I must double it up the following week to meet up the task. Hello,  If your goal is t...
