It's almost three weeks now without showing up. Never have I envisaged going MIA like this, but life always happens.

To worsen it all, a lot happened and my mind went numb. I recently lost someone so dear to me, my childhood friend and it weighed me down.
It got me thinking deep and wild at the same time. If there's someone not reaching out to you like they used to, then it's high time you checked in on them. They might not be actually ignoring you, they might have been caught in the middle of this world, that it's so hard to figure out. They might be losing their mind, they might be needing a miracle.
The loss of my dear friend taught me so. Too often we think people's reaction is about us, but when we look clearly we'd see it's not always about us.
Aside grieving, I've been constantly struggling with balancing work life, fun life and social life and I honestly miss the days when I had my superpowers to navigate through it all.
On Thursday I whispered "enough is enough", maybe I'm being too hard on myself.

It's my first time being this version of myself, so why can't I be a little bit kinder to myself while trying to figure life out?
My cousin was home with me, so we headed to the beach to ease my mind from everything.
I craved serenity, I craved tranquility and I wanted to hear my inner thoughts without the chaos of the world echoing.
My happy place, my power house , nature of course called and I answered.
I visited that one spot that helps to reset my mind. The beach!

The body of water was such a beauty to behold, the waves of the sea were healing to my soul and everywhere spoke calmness. It stilled my fears, my worries and anxieties.
I decided to live and not just exist. Sadly, someday the world will also move on without me, so I'll make the most of it now I'm here.

I wasn't in the mood to run around on the beach, I sat quietly processing every shit that life has thrown my way and I realized that every pain is a lesson if we paid keen attention.

My cousin took some nice shots with my device, some of the crafts we could find in the beach. Traditional bracelets, cowries, bangles, and a lot more.



Not really over my friend demise yet, but I'll definitely get over it someday.
Here's a song I find appealing recently and I thought to share.
Images used are mine.
