2022: Here to just wing it

Disclaimer: pretend as if this was posted on the first day of the year, certainly not eight days into it.

Hi, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I honestly felt like blogging but I had no idea what it is exactly that I wanted to talk to you about. I also didn’t want to talk to you about the previous year and my hopes for the new year that we are in. That is too cliché, but guess what, I am going to do exactly that. Can’t blame me, I want to write to you, I am blank as to what about but at the same time I have the burning desire to do so… yeah I know its weird, trust me; I am also feeling weird about it.

SUCKED! That is one word that I can use to describe my 2021. So, 2021 sucked! And this is not to say that there weren’t great things that happened and the great things probably out-weigh the bad but the few bad things that I went through are note-worthy, still. But isn’t that how life works? – you cannot have the good without the bad, the two co-exist.

2021 was a year filled with a lot of anxiety and fear for the future. In as much as we don’t know what the future holds, sometimes I want to feel like I have somewhat control of it or at least where I am headed. 2021 didn’t give me that feeling. If anything, I felt like I had no idea at all. I was definitely losing control. All this happened in the second half of the year. The first half did have its downs but the downs weren’t so down – you feel me? I am sure you’ve figured it out that I won’t dive deep into it, not now; but I definitely will be sharing with you in due time. I am not going to be that person who only shares with you the good and not the bad.

MAGICAL! Another word to describe my 2021. I would tell you all about it but if you read my last post here, you will get an idea of it. Sis moved from the ‘my boyfriend this that to my husband this that’ stage, celebrated Mr Father’s 70^th birthday, (finally) finished my manuscript (more details coming soon, HOPEFULLY soon enough), I was in good health (never take that for granted especially if you’re in Zim and not on medical aid) and I got the most thoughtful birthday gift ever from my husband! A well-received hint on his part. Jolani guys, I 99.9% recommend it.

I don’t have set resolutions. I am actually not hell burnt about new year’s resolutions but this year it was a conscious and deliberate decision I made – I am just going to wing it. This, I think, was a decision I made because I am already anticipating another year that is going to suck but I am keeping it in mind that not all is going to suck, some events are most definitely going to be magical, that is just how life is.

Here’s to hoping you have a kick-ass year!
