On my way to town, I passed by the book vendors and browsed for a minute, and well,this book caught my attention. Still confused about who Abraham is, I mean like biblical Abraham, or is it some historical figure I need to be aware about? Either way,a simple Google search will do. I did a quick flip through and I'd be down to give it a try.

📚📚It had similar concept to Come Home to yourself by Déjà Rae. Question and Answer format on life existential, essential, elementary and crucial concerns on faith, purpose,becoming and emotions. That's why I took a liking to it. Sadly not bought but tagged on my radar.

Anyone who's read it? Thoughts please? I don't mind spoilers and only your positive reviews on it. 😎

🎉🎊🍿🎥I Went to town to pick a parcel from my family for my birthday🥹🥹 such a lovely surprise and so overwhelming in a good way. Packed with so much love🥹😭I cried. Grateful for my life truly.

My life improved so much when I started forcing myself to do things: forcing myself to exercise, to cook from scratch; forcing myself to go to the movies or to museums alone, to wear that really cute outfit just to run errands; forcing myself to read a book, to strike up a conversation with a stranger, to ask for a raise.

Once you begin forcing yourself to do the things that you had been too scared or too lazy to do, you feel a sense of accomplishment that gives you momentum to do even more. It gets easier to get out of your comfort zone & to do hard things.

4th July ||2026

Today's my birthday!!! The big 29. I am so happy to actually have learnt the meaning of life and to truly live.

Despite not being in a city I'd want to live in, and having no job, no money, no friends no place of my own to celebrate it with, I still have gratitude and it the happiest and healthiest I have been since 23. I choose to celebrate this day in a special adulting way, and later have ado over, hopefully before the year ends by:-

Having a belated to do list:-

•A pink/ red theme photoshoot

•A trip to any nature trail or park ( waaay out of comfort zone)

•Buy 4 books😭😭 this one is so dear I haven't bought any book in over a year.

🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

Today , however,

•I went to the gym for the first time in 3 years, enjoyed every single 55 minutes( elliptical bike, upper body, and struggling 2 squats) for some reason I'm scared of weighted squats)

• Planning to run 21km ( half marathon today evening) if not possible a 16km will suffice

• Make a new recipe , watch a movie, journal & read.

Honestly couldn't have asked for a better 29th. Im alive, healthy, strong & in the process of becoming.

Here for all that life has to offer & to become the best version of me that I can be.

Happy Birthday to me!!🎊🎉😍😍😍

Oops! I was not warned!

I stared running for mental health reasons, and I saw massive improvement. Can someone tell me how;

now I'm watching hyrox vlogs, indulging in running reels, training for an imaginary half marathon and identifying as a running enthusiast. Oh that's not all somehow these terms exist in my head rent free: running economy, lactate threshold, cadence, PR,PB, tempo.... what not, words six months ago I knew nothing about.

And my obsession with leggings with pockets , running shoes with a good bouncing sole, on rest days I still run and claim it was an " easy run"🤣 I and admiring anyone running faster than me on the road. 🛣️

Was tempted to download strava and Garmin but naah I think for now I'll stick by my stopwatch though.

The post run feeling especially on a good running day, the runners high 🫠🫠☺️ just epic

Guys, I'm getting obsessed....

Wait I'm obsessed with running now!!

Y'all didn't warn us, it gets this good

The reason you want it so badly is because you’re meant to experience it.

Happy New Month, July babbyyyy!!! ( birthday month)😍🥰🥹

June was amazing yet quickly passed by.

It was one of the best & the worst month of the year for me. Despite struggles, I'd say mental health wise,I saw and experienced the biggest improvements.

Some ups:-

• Managed to go out daily for a run or a walk, took few pictures of self and nature as ushz

• Did some writing and reading, although not consistently but the days that I did, were fun

• Figured out not to spiral, ruminate and minimize negative self talk

• Learnt about being hopeful and grateful despite no results

Here's to a beautiful productive and fulfilling month. Looking forward to what this month holds and the new opportunities about to arise. Also praying for a job, a new place and reading more books for this month.

After a week off running, we started off strong. Got a routine going and just stepping back slowly.

🏃🏾‍♀️10km at a record time of 1hr 22 mins

🚶🏾‍♀️10-15k steps daily average

📖✍🏾📚Reading , writing, meditation and devotion routine

===============================

Always remember a bad week or off week is not equivalent to a bad life. What matters is getting back up and trying again, again &Again.

It's crazy how some days you can cope with anxiety and depression and totally get the hang of it then, boom! 💥, another unexpected flavour of anxiety wave hits you and you are paralysed, numb, questioning every single decision and think the world is ending and your situation can have no solution, EVER!

Why does anxiety/ panic attacks always manifest differently? If it were just a similar pattern I'd see the warning signs and accept it but if the signs keep pulling a new one on you every time?! Such betrayal is unthinkable!

But I guess the upside to all this is knowing now that it comes in different patterns.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It was a fun illuminating read to finish the Prophetic book of Habakkuk. It's been a while since I just sat and had a productive quiet time. I'm so glad I did. 🙏🏾

How I picture my perfect morning going like when my nervous system is regulated and I'm completely healed from anxiety, people pleasing and fear of exploration. Having the time and creativity to make such a masterpiece.

Manifesting My Masters Degree 📚 📖

This is how I'm manifesting my Master's degree. I loosely have a curriculum im follow to learn how to write articles and essays, read deeply and critically, and learn to articulate my thoughts. Essentially embodying being in academia as I wait for this door to open. I have known I want to study be a professor and teach in the university alongside any career I will settle for . But for this, this is my ultimate goal.

Who else feels weird about even staring at images generated by AI. It's feel like I'm cheating on the human race by not recognizing the existence of their creativity and the very much available human made art that captures, embodies and even surpasses the artistic expression of our everyday substantial life in awe-inducing ways.

Notice and embrace what your mind gravitates to or craves for to productively pull you out of a rut.

For me it's always reading, running walking, cooking, baking or solving a puzzle( Sudoku, crosswords... ). It somehow calms my mind and or leaves me in a reflective mood to truly be present for the tasks, and also offering insights to what I want to change, or desire to do or even what I need to see differently.

That's the difference between a self sabotaging mind and a becoming one. You choose to not ignore your feelings and your thoughts, but face them differently. Do not condemn yourself for having dealt differently with things in the past, right now, act with the new information you have gathered and see how it works out, one step at time.

photo from unsplash. @timothéeduran The moon, the stars, and the cold night were witnesses to the desires and prayers I carried as I walked down the road alone, heading home. Glimpses of light from passing vehicles, the bright overcast glow of streetlights, and the small flashes from the phones in people's hands were the only signs of how busy the night really was. One by one, we passed each other in partial darkness, trusting that we were all headed in the right direction and that none of us carried ill intentions. The night wasn't particularly loud, but you couldn't escape the honking from the highway, signaling the end of a long day and the busy commute of those who relied on buses and motorcycles. As I walked, observing all this, my mind wandered while my eyes did what they do best: searching for something to admire, something to stare at, something new for my thoughts to revolve around. This time, it was the moon, the stars, and the cold night and what it was that they all shared in common. Me. Not because they could see me or feel me, but because, to me, they marked the closing of a day and the beauty of a not so quiet night that kept me company. In their presence, even an unremarkable day seemed carefully crafted, and I felt fortunate to have played my small part in it, to have witnessed it at all.
