It’s already mid-year and I’m interested in knowing how the year has been for you so far. I’d share a little from my own experience so far.
Somewhere along the year, I realised that my theme for the year wasn’t working out. As much as I’d like to see it all the way through, I also want to allow myself to be flexible when I need to without having to wait for the end of the year or the beginning of another year. We’re allowed to make amends at anytime. I believe my theme is not working out because I skipped a prequel or to put it across bluntly, I need to deal with a very significant issue first before moving on to the theme I chose for the year.
After reviewing the goals and plans for the year, I’d admit that I had to scrap off about half of them to fit in with the new theme for th3 the second half of the year.Hopefully, I can be deliberate and more intentional this time.
Blog/Writing
Blogwise, I haven’t been doing so well. My blog and writings in general has suffered a massive decline in views and engagements which may be due to a number of factors.First of all, I haven’t been consistent with posting and sharing my works, also I deleted some of my posts from this year – in a moment of weakness and cloudy judgement .
The year so far, hasn’t been so bad. There’s been a lot of first time experiences/exposures for me which feels surreal and sometimes, mildly surprising.
New foods
On trying new ‘foods’, I have finally had a taste of marshmallows. It’s a comforting food but I find it a little too sweet.
I finally tried dumplings too – smiles* smiles*
New connections
I’m not making much connections. Actually, I’m barely making any connections at all and that’s mostly because I do not want to (sadly) and lack of efforts on my side. I wish I could give more reasons as to why I’m barely trying here.
Moving forward, here are a few reminders for myself for the final half of the year:
To find a home within myself
To learn to trust in my decision making abilities as well as finding reassurances within myself.
I have no one to prove wrong other than myself. The growth is mine. The change is mine. It‘s me vrs me.

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.
