Heloooooooooo
It's been a while and I'm back, yeah you heard me right, I'm back. I actually owe it to myself to be more consistent this coming year but mehnnnn, this year was literally one of the craziest I've experienced from being out of school for eight good months to wrapping up a semester’s course work in a space of a month and few weeks (yeah, my school did it) to every other crazy thing that happened in-between.
Ehen, I really need to ask this question because I don't understand why many people got married this year, was the deadline for marriage 2022? Because ehn, I'm shocked at the amount of weddings that took place this year. Make nobody sha marry my husband 🙄
So, 2022 was a really good year since the the good experiences outweighed the bitter ones plus the year for me was a year of learning, unlearning and relearning as I learnt lessons from every damn experience andddddd I read 43 books this year alone🤯, that's huge for me sha (I dropped the list at the end of the newsletter for y’all Incase you’re in need of a book to read). And I also watched movies this year which is kinda surprising to me because I'm not the movie type and I absolutely loved binging on these series; Emily in Paris, How to ruin Christmas, becoming Abi, From scratch(even though I got emotional at a point and deleted it) and Far from home.
Biggest lesson learnt in 2022: Standing up for myself (even in the face of a crippling fear) and selfishly putting myself first (it doesn't apply to all situations sha)
Biggest loss in 2022: My earpods.
Sooooo, I've bounced into 2023 and I affirm that 2023 is going to be better than 2022 in ten fold. I'll be sharing all my wins here because una go congratulate me tire✌️

Was a good year for me as well
I hit some core to do this year and am getting to know myself ever since I bought the idea of self love. It's been an amazing year tho a tough one too as a student but we stood strong again and again 🙌🏿 ,God was merciful even when I wasn't worth it he gave me peace and joy without me having to pay for it!
No we go again in 2023
And it's definitely going to be a hit ,from my mouth to ABBA's ears☺️
