A DATE WITH ME

It’s high time I take myself out on a date, just me, I have a few places in mind, and I think the holidays will be a good time to go on such trips. This is mainly because this year has been a lot for me, I have had to struggle a lot especially because of the kind of goals I set for myself. For example I am writing this post not because I want to, but because I have to. I set a goal for myself, and sitting down to write this post even when I don’t feel myself is me going the extra mile to achieve those goals and I think when it all ends I deserve a treat, not just buying expensive food but taking myself out to someplace far away. I think I am burnt out already and don’t know just how burnt out I will be by the end of the year, but I am sure at the end of the day, it will all be worth it.

During the holidays I will be celebrating a cumulation of my small wins. I am still hoping for a big win, but then I think the small wins are cumulatively setting a path for a big win for me so I will celebrate them. I won’t be celebrating a break from all the struggles, rather I will be celebrating something even more, the fact that I went through the struggles and survived. I will be celebrating those nights were I had to cry myself to sleep and unsure of what the next day will bring, I will be celebrating the pains I have felt every single time I had a set back, I will be celebrating every hard lesson I had to learn this year and most of all I will be celebrating the life that would have been lost last year. It’s going to be personal for me and I am really looking forward to it because it will be big and quiet. Big in the sense that I will attempt things I have never done in my life.

I am not one that likes to draw attention to myself, so I’m sure not going to go anywhere that draws attention to me. In fact I would only go places where no one would pay attention to me. I thought about the beach, not the one in my city too, maybe one with a resort, something that screams nature where I could just go chill and forget everything for sometime. I would also like a place where I can possibly gain new connections and I don’t mind spending much on it if I have a good chance of getting a result. Okay now I am thinking about business again, maybe I will be mixing a little business with the pleasure if the opportunity presents itself. I am going to try to do this and enjoy every bit of it because I have reasoned that I have been working and what is the point of working if you can’t live and truly have a breath of fresh air at least once a year.
