Will You Open This?

Hello from this side...

If you’re reading this, then I can only assume that you love me deeply and have missed my letters to you. 🥺
I’m deeply sorry for not writing to you since Lord knows how long I wrote you last.

I’ve contemplated straight up telling the truth about my absence or just apologizing and moving on. But I decided that you’re worth the truth. The entire truth. What I’m about to say might shock you, but I guess it’s now or never.
The truth is, I have been enjoying the bliss that comes with being married. Yes, my dear reader, I am married. Some of you reading this are very close to me, so this won’t come as a surprise to you. To those of you who follow me on social media and haven’t seen any post attesting to my claims of marriage, well, some people like to keep some parts of their life private. My love life is one of such. Ngl, it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Definitely in my top 3. Bro, I legit thought love like this was purely fictional. Only in the movies. Boy, was I wrong! But hey, this letter isn’t about my love life. This is a letter for you.

I think it’s fitting that I’m writing to you at the end of the first quarter of the year and the beginning of the second. I genuinely would love to know how the year has been for you thus far. For me, it has been an interesting adventure. I have taken active steps towards coming out of my fear zone, especially work wise. I have attempted things I couldn’t do before because of fear. I’ve shot my shot at brands and individuals I would love to work with. A few positives, a few pending and of course, some rejections. I’ve been more intentional about building my photography brand. Scary, but doing it nonetheless. Thankful to have the most amazing woman as my number one supporter. Again, this letter isn’t about me. It’s about you.

I know how easy it is to relapse on our goals and dreams. Your feet are weary, and honestly, you’re tired. The energy you started the year with seems to waning. You just wan dey. Nothing consine you and crushing 2023 again. Bruhhhh. I get. Sometimes, when you’re tired, you don’t need motivational speeches to get you on you moving immediately. What you may actually need is a time out. You may need to rest, go back to the drawing board and come back again.

Ask yourself some important questions. Few of which should be:
1. Why am I tired?
2. Am I trying to do too many things at once?
3. How can I simplify my process?
4. Am I refusing help?
5. Are my goals even realistic for the timeline I set for them?
6. Are these goals my personal aspirations or am in competition with someone else?
7. What are my next steps moving forward?

I’m sure there are more questions you might need to answer. Or, yours might not even be up to 7. Different strokes for different folks.
Hey, I want you to know that you’ve still got this. This year can still be your best year ever. Mafo! I’m very much rooting for you, fam. If you need to talk to anyone, you can always reach out to me. I dey for you.

Btw, if everything I’ve written doesn’t apply to you, please also do well to reach out to me to. I just want to know how you’re doing it, haha! I’m happy for youuuu. Long may your streak continue. Weldone!

Well, this is goodbye from me, till my next letter (which won’t be long from now). I’d like to thank you for sticking by me in my absence. I have honestly missed writing to you (all). Ngl, I felt touched when some of you reached out to me personally to ask why I stopped. I mean, it was like 2 of you, but who’s counting the numbers, right?
Please, take care of yourself. I may not know you all individually, but my heart has deep for you.

In conclusion, in case you haven’t figured out by now, I was joking about being married. Sikeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Quick advice: Go see John Wick 4 in cinemas now! Au revoir.
