Have you been so tired that you get tired in advance as well? That’s how tired I have been for the past few weeks.
I remember my friends telling me to take it easy before I burn out completely and I would always reply “ I know, I am taking it slow”, “I have got everything under control” but did I? I finally got the answer to this question later on and the answer was not a good one.
I hit rock bottom two weeks ago and it was not funny as I had to deal with the consequences of not listening to my body.
You know when you have so many things to do, so many deadlines to meet, friendships and relationships to save and 24 hours seems just too small for you and you wish you had many more hours for yourself so you can get everything done?
I got overwhelmed with everything happening in my life and I was forced to hit the pause button and get it all together.
I finally took my annual leave, I decided to travel so I could rest enough. I traveled to one of the busiest cities in my country, I have heard so many stories about this city and I had to go see for myself and to my surprise these stories were true.
Before leaving my city my itinerary for my trip was filled with so many places that I wanted to explore in the city but home girl has just been too tired to tick off some of these places on the list.
I have been resting ever since I got here, I’ve been sleeping, eating, watching movies, and repeating the whole process, again and again, Lol I couldn’t even bring myself to go out like I had envisaged. it’s more like I just have to charge my “self battery” and I honestly don’t know when this my “self battery will be fully charged😂😂
Before coming here I had made plans with a few of my friends, the plan was to meet, hang out, and catch up but I’m yet to see them. I stayed indoors for weeks until my dearest friend 
After my first outing with Samuel, I had to bring myself to go out again, I visited some places here, I went to the cinema, mall, market, concert, and park and the more I go out the more I realize that I have been so busy with life and have forgotten what fun actually taste like.
One of the highlights of my trip was visiting Miniso, Miniso is a Chinese unique store that has a variety of items and these items are very affordable.
Walking into this Barbie-themed store made me nostalgic, reminiscing on the good old days when I was a huge fan of Barbie and loved every and anything that screams Barbie. Going through the various aisles I was reminded that I am a full-grown adult and I decided to pass on all the cute Barbie merch I saw, poor me🙂
After soaking myself in the cute decor I decided to finally get a few items for myself.
Being in a different city I had to try some of their local delicacies and while I love some of their local delicacies and would want to take them back home others were rejected by my taste buds.
I have watched my Hive activities suffer but there was nothing I could do. Like my friends would always tell me, “Don’t take or see Hive as a chore” because once you begin to see Hive as a chore it slowly becomes exhausting, you begin to lose interest, and when you finally sap the whole fun out of it, Hive will become so unattractive. Since I have come to understand how all of these work I decided to stay clear till I was mentally fit to continue again and I think I’m beginning to get back on track😃
I feel so bad that I have less than two weeks to spend here, and I am yet to tick off so many things on my list but in all of this, this trip was all I needed, I needed a breather and this trip was perfect and right now I envy Y’all that are self-employed, you don’t have a 8-5 job to get back to, you are your own boss, you do your thing whenever you want to. I’ll get there someday but for now, I’ll hang in here🥰🥰
Lastly, I love you all and Happy New Year, I pray 2024 brings us all the joy and happiness that we deserve🥰
