Yeah it is hard to actually believe that it has already been a week and a day since the day I had left my home to go attend my friend's wedding in another state. And yeah,i have to say this, Even though things did not go exactly as planned, still I don't regret coming for the wedding at all
So when everyone had left for their different houses on that Sunday morning, so I was left to find my way to another part of the city to get a place to stay in , cos I couldn't stay in the brides home and since she wasn't there , so yeah it was right to have left , I know it sounds weird, but I actually really enjoyed staying in the place It was so peaceful and also quiet, and yeah it did give me some time to myself to think and reflect on many things.
I will say this of course , it was not all a smooth thing. I was having a pretty intense menstrual cycle, one in which I was not even exactly thrilled about. But as often as it is, life had other plans. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I am kinda actually kind of grateful for my cycle. It forced me to slow down and take some time for myself, which I really needed like in my life at this moment.
I am feeling a lot of emotions right now, like happiness, sadness, gratitude. It is just like all a bit overwhelming, to be honest. But, despite all the ups and downs, I am just glad that I got to experience this trip.
As I make my way back to my home in Lagos, I just somehow have this feeling that this is just the beginning of an amazing story. I am not sure what the future holds, but I am definitely excited to find out about it.
So looking back on the past week, I realize that sometimes life takes us on an unexpected detours. But, it is how we respond to those detours that really does matters. We can either choose to get frustrated and stuck, or we can actually see them as opportunities for growth and learning.
So for me, this last week has been a journey of self discovery. It has forced me to just confront some of my own fears and limitations and yeah, to find other ways to overcome them. And, even though it has been tough at times, I am still grateful for the experience.
So moving forward, I am trying to hold onto the lessons that I have learnt. I am reminding myself to be more present and mindful, also to trust in the universe and its plans, also and to have faith in myself and my abilities , I believe all paid of someday.
It is not always easy because of course, There will be days when I feel lost and uncertain. But I am trying to be more kind to myself, and to acknowledge that it is okay to not have all the answers, and to trust that everything wil just work out in the end.
Can you guys relate to this. Have you bin any way ever had one of those moments where life just takes you on a detour, and you are not sure what is going to happen next?
