It’s the Little Things
Off the top of my head, I would tell you that receiving/ having a lot of money excites me. And that’s because unlike what is often said, money can actually solve all of my problems.
But this #weekend-engagement prompt from @galenkp actually got me thinking, surely there most be more to what excites me than money. And it was hard to think about anything cause I can’t remember when last I was actually excited about something (aside money of course).
I’ve actually felt good about this weekend. Not overjoyed, but I’m quite happy even though I have a very solid reason to be sad cause I spent all the money I had. I’m quite happy because I’ve been able to clear out all the things(almost all) in my to-do list.
And it’s just the basic things. I went out to the salon( something I’ve been postponing for so long), I cleaned my room and arranged all my clothes, I made food for myself and actually ate twice yesterday.
And today I cooked a whole meal. Suddenly, everything looks so organized in my life and I feel so good about that. I don’t think anyone could ruin this good mood I’m in. So this has brought me to the realization that doing things for myself, checking off things on my to do list excites me.
Giving people around me a reason to laugh is also something that I find joy in. Fortunately, I get to experience a little bit of that everyday when I’m at work.
On weekends, I can go the whole day without saying a single word except for my friend that calls to checkup. But it makes me wonder if I’m being true to myself. Why would I make people think I’m a very funny person but at home, they think I don’t talk.
Oh I almost forgot this one, I got this email last Monday and I was sooo happy. Like I could not believe it. I got accepted into something that I thought I didn’t stand a chance. Sometimes when I apply for stuff, it’s not really because I want it, but I just want to enjoy the feeling of getting in. Makes me feel like I’m God’s favorite.
I think all these just comes down to one main thing; achieving milestones I’ve set for myself. It’s like when I’m trying to put a certain idea I have into code and I finally do it. I find myself doing a little dance out of nowhere.
all images are mine
Mariam, just out that dollar note in an envelope and send it to me.😂😂
So you even prepared food and didn’t invite me. Hmmm
I feel sometimes we get to be ourselves more when we are at others places that are not our house. Maybe that could be the reason why you don’t talk much at home. Or maybe there’s really nothing to talk about.
Anytime I tick something off my to-do list I feel some sort of happiness and the urge to go harder on the remaining stuff on the list. It does feel good.😅
Oh I wish I could send it to you but I took this picture about two years ago. I just came across it today. Don’t worry, when I get another one, I would send it to you immediately.
The food errh, I didn’t even eat. I finished and made the post and fell asleep so I’m now coming to eat. You are invited 😌
Yeah. When I go out or when I’m in an environment that no one knows me, I feel I’m able to express myself a lot more cause these people don’t know anything about and probably don’t even care. At home, there are so many expectations of you and it gets overwhelming.
You can just change the money in your bank to dollars and send to me 🌚
Let me bring my spoon. Wait for me oo.😂😂
Your house people will now be saying you’re a bad girlfriend when you start talking about guys.😂😂 you only get to do that around people your age who can relate.
I overheard my mom telling someone that she thinks the would have to find a husband for me cause she doesn’t think I can find one by myself with the way I’m reserved.
Even my cousin called to tell me she heard there’s this masjid that you can find nice young rich muslim guys. So she suggests I start going there on Fridays.
I just nod my head and laugh. These people really don’t know me😂😂😂😂
They don’t know you’re the baddie of our time.😂😂👏
They don’t know😂
I would tell them.😂
Lol. Would be your word against mine and my mother trusts me like crazy 😌
We shall see about that.😂
Ohh I tap into that
I also hope I receive my email soon
I was actually surprised you went to the salon. I said ehhh Mariam left the house? That’s why it rained today
I’m no more shocked.
I believe that email would be in soon🤲🏽.
It’s because going to the salon is necessary else I wouldn’t do it. I’ve been contemplating on buying all the hair products so that I wouldn’t even step out of the house😌
Amen
Ehhhh Mariammmmm😂😂😂
