January Recap

I don’t want to end up as someone that has no recollection of her past.

Last year was a good year but for the most part I was out of touch with myself, environment and experiences. It literally took an intervention to remember some of the things that happened in 2025. That’s why I have decided to write a monthly recap so when I forget I can always fall back the recaps.

For the first time in my life, I spent new years without my immediate family. Honestly, I had a great time by myself but I definitely missed them. I think I am just too comfortable being on my own. For the most part if you don’t look for me, you won’t find me because I will be in my house chilling and chopping the life of my head.

Although, I don’t think I would love to spend Christmas and new years alone ever again, I love my family and I really love doing life with them.

And then it was WOFBEC, I had fun at WOFBEC. I saw my guys ever day for 10 days and I ate a lot at WOFBEC and of course I was tremendously blessed.

My year truly started until after WOFBEC, everything was just on pause.

I attended the storyteller’s conference(during WOFBEC week though). Honestly, I did more than attend. I had fun volunteering, shooting and majorly seeing my brother and his friends do great work. I am the proudest sister in the whole world.

The most painful thing that happened in January was me forgetting to celebrate two years of having locs. Funny thing is, I remembered literally two days before and was excited and all, even made plans. Only for me to remember 3 days after the anniversary that I forgot to remember. You win some and lose some I guess.

And just like that school and work resumed. But honestly I love being back at work. One of the things I am immensely grateful to God for is work. I haven’t worked in a lot of places throughout my lifetime, but I have never had a terrible work experience, or been in a toxic environment with a toxic boss. Basically, all the things that could be off in a work place and every other thing people complain about, I have no experience of them. Obviously everything in life has it good and bad side, I am just grateful to God that I have never significantly experience the bad. And I think I have some sort of unique grace(don’t know what to call it) when it comes to jobs/work and I am seriously beginning to tap into it.

One of my highlight of January was having some of my friends over to do a vision board for the year. Honestly I had the best best time of my life. I would love to do something like that for my birthday if exams doesn’t knock on the door that day.

And then I decided to crochet a red bag for myself as a birthday gift. In all honesty, I thought it would take a while for me to finish it but it took a lot less. The bag is the most beautiful thing everrrrrr and I am so happy it came out looking great. And then I went ahead to crochet a laptop sleeve for a friend and a second one for myself that I haven’t finished.

Moving on, I tried to study for exams but the spirit is willing and the flesh is weak, let’s leave it at that.

I got a camera, that was exciting but since it’s just the body I can’t really use it until I get a lens, so I will be renting or borrowing until I can get one.

Another highlight for me was attending a training that I have always wanted to attend and for free at that!

Honestly, that training was a good way to kick start my year and end January.

And that’s Mi Amigo, a month in my life.

I hope you can always look back and remember significant and little moments in your life because those are the moments that keep us pushing and moving forward. Also we are not robot, memories are our links to the past. Not all past are terrible, some are worth remembering.

I don’t want to end up as someone that has no recollection of her past.

Top of the morning news; I am considering being a plant mom. Really a pet mom but I don’t think I have the mental capacity to care for a pet right now, I can hardly care for myself. Also my mom is not really a pet type so definitely not in her house. Hence I might settle for a plant for now. Might be one of the numerous birthday gift I am getting myself. I promise to keep you updated.

Till we meet again ciao!
