I can also do talks about love, life, how to cook an awesome 5 course meal (even if I’ve never actually made an entire 5 course meal), how to purchase the best car, etc.

Basically, I have acquired the skill to bs my way through everything. just kidding. I’m a horrible liar :))

All jokes aside, I am blessed beyond measure and my heart is so full.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Universe/ God/ Allah/ The Academy/ My parents/ Netflix/ Yaya Jovey!! Thaaaank yoooooou!

Clean house

Spent a good 2-3 hours cleaning and scrubbing down every corner I could reach. The house is spick and span but now I don’t wanna walk inside or breathe inside because I don’t wanna make a mess anymore… so instead, I’m chilling on the balcony, listening to some Youtube video playing in the background and watching my neighbors. ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAS A PUG!!!!! Again, there is a pug RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME and I just wanna run downstairs and love it but I gotta get ready for a talk later so I’m just gonna have to love it from the third floor.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are entering adulthood. Ooooh, mama!!!

Halfway There, My Love

It’s 30 minutes to 12 and I’m asking myself what am I still doing in my PJ’s but it’s fine since I’m working from home today.

I wanted to narrate what Day 2 was like but I’ll probably do that later on when I’m done with work. My phone just rang and I’ve been soft booked for almost the whole next week. Yes!

You just made your way to the bathroom and soon you’ll be on your way out while I stay here and work- work on a million things to pay for the million things we just bought and still need to buy. huuu. but it’s fine. It’s fun! But most of all, it’s worth it!

This is the life I always imagined for us. Me & You. You & I.

You make my heart so full, I feel like crying every single time I think of you.

Day 3 of 752348254374034804377rgy8fd36410ldfkj

Gaping Holes

It’s the morning after you left and it feels a lot more quiet now even when it’s usually mom’s voice we hear in the background. The sound of your voices together always sounded like the nicest song to listen to in the morning.

“… no matter what we are still blessed.”

“… families should be together.”

I miss you so much already.

Now there’s an empty seat at the table, there’s an empty place in the car, there’s always one person missing from my sight, a missing spot on the bed.

I will never get used to not having you here. So everyday my heart will ache til you’re home with us again.

 

Time & Distance


I have a problem with time. I have 1 day left, 4 days- I don’t know if I want it to come sooner or to last longer.

I have a problem with distance because I can never be too close to you.

I have a problem with never getting enough of you. Here I am dreading the coming hours when I have to say goodbye to you.

I hate hello’s that lead to goodbyes.


Papa, I wish you could stay.

In 12 Days…

We will have a concrete wall to ourselves which we will turn into a home and it will be ours.

One day, in 10 years or so, we will drive by it in our minivan, with the kids at the back and we’ll show them where we built our lives together.

3rd floor, 2nd from the right- 3 freakin’ floors, I’d be glad to climb everyday to get to you.

I can’t wait. I can’t wait to be with you!

Short Pauses

I asked the Lord to fill up my days with activities that would make me a better person, give me more opportunities, meet more people, grow, be a promising adult/ person and to allow me to feel a sense of accomplishment. And He heard the 1 million things I’ve asked for and provided.

I am blessed beyond comprehension, I say that to myself everyday. I have no time to feel sad or be ungrateful (or work on my IG!).

Thank you for always providing! 🙏🏻
