Half time !

Hello YOU! Welcome back to the dom. I'm excited to have you back in our space . Did you bring a friend? I really hope you did. If you didn't, just know I'm judging you right now.

2020 has been such an interesting year. By interesting I mean pretty dramatic and we're just halfway into the year. This year came with a lot of baggage, I think we can all affirm that . We've been through a whole lot collectively. Some of us have fought mental and emotional battles, maybe we won , maybe we didn't , but hey ! We fought .

And every other day, we still stay fighting.

When you fight everyday, some days you don't feel up for the battle . For me that day is today . I've lost so much time this year, so much money too. I've had a lot of rejection emails in my inbox , a lot of opportunities I missed and a lot of emotional energy I've lost. I almost feel like I'm maxed out.

But I've come to realize that sometimes, all you need is a break. It might not be all you need , but it's a first step to getting what you need.

So , I've decided to give us a break from "everything" going on . And by US, I mean US . We need a break from all the mental, emotional turmoil going on, a break from the uncertainty . A day to relax, sit back before we pick up our swords again.

The year has been crazy, no doubts, bad things have happened, the world has stopped, we almost had a third world war , police brutality and on top of that the several cases of rape and murder springing up from every corner in the room. I'm sure you would agree with me it's been a hell of a year . I know and I feel you .

However, when bad things happen and they start to cloud your mindset and weigh you down , that's a cue for you to STOP. Sit back, Pour yourself a glass of wine and reflect on all the beautiful, amazing things you've had . I want you to remember all the times you genuinely had a good laugh this year ,the times you spent with the people you love , the times everything was okay . Maybe not everything, but you get the drill.

So I'll start .

Before the world came to a stop, I planned my birthday dinner. I put out a wishlist which sadly, is still a wishlist(someone even called me a thief 💔 ) , bought a pretty dress and picked a good restaurant. Then I asked my closest friends to share this special night with me and they did . I had a swell time and I had so much memories from just that one night. It was amazing and remembering it somehow makes me feel good, like everything isn't lost .

Me on my birthday looking cute.

Now I want YOU to think of a time you genuinely felt happy this year . A time you had a good laugh that made you cry , a time you felt at peace . It could be anything,I want you to think of that time and if you want to , you can share that experience with me .

So what do you say while you're out reminiscing on your good times you connect with me outside this space because I'm dying to meet you.

Yes? Yes!
