DEFINING MOMENTS: JULY IN A NUTSHELL
Hi family,
My weekend was lovely. I got my work mojo back and I am looking forward to having a very eventful month even though a full week has gone by. July was my toughest month in the year so far but I believe I have learnt the best lessons as well. Stay tuned for the full gist.
July started on a high remember in this post here, I was super excited that I had found my faith and my life was slowly getting back to order and falling together.
Fast forward to week two and my friend blessed me with one of the best gifts I like. I am an Ibo woman at heart. I don't play with my MULA(Ego). I was able to buy so many things I had on my shopping list. It's not exactly splurging if you have been planning and saving to get it sha.
Then move to week three and I got scammed. It broke me real badly. I was not myself for a long time. I was worried I would have panic attacks but thankfully I still kept my faith in God alive and did not pass on to glory. Long story short, I never got back my money from the swindlers but I am back and better and ready to join the EFCC to fight and eventually stop crime.
July is a month I would not forget in a hurry. It taught me to trust God, be transparent with my friends and love my family more.
MAJOR EVENT
I got SCAMMED in a big way. These ruthless guys took no mercy on me. If you want the full gist you can DM me. Also, I met The Black Writer. She is a Christian Content Creator and Influencer. She has a beautiful heart and warm embrace.
MAJOR SETBACK
Laziness. I could not get myself to do the tiniest things. I could not even create as much content as I would have liked to on my platforms. I kept judging myself for getting scammed on the internet and that was majorly because of the expectation I placed on myself. I felt like I was too smart to be scammed but my sister told me no one is above mistakes anyway. This was such a great setback for me.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT
I started the Beauty Series I had been working on for so long on the blog. For the longest time beauty was my big insecurity. I didn't see myself the way ABBA created me. I needed peoples validation to tell me I was beautiful but I am getting over those insecurities and loving my large nostrils.
In the month of July, I was
READING : Neville Medhora's "This Book Will Teach You How To Write Better". I finished it in an hour or so. It was short, straight to the point and super helpful. It has changed my approach to writing tremendously. (Do you think it has changed my approach to writing?)
If you are into content creation that involves writing (i.e copywriters, editors, bloggers, influencers and the like). It is a very good read and it is short so it won't take a lot of your time.
WRITING: I wrote a lot of plans. Content, food plans, dreams, goals, stories, different things. I use writing as a medium of expression. It helps me gather my thoughts and process them further. As a child when I got angry instead of bottling such negative emotions, I wrote and wrote instead. In the long run it made me shy away from confrontation but I was grateful to at least have a channel of expression.
WATCHING: YouTube as always. Videos have a very strong effect on me. I am a visual learner and YouTube provides some of the best free educational content. I watched mostly Fashion, Photography and Motivational Videos anyway. I also watched Big Brother Naija. I have always been a fan and I support my girl Lucy if you're curious who my fave is.
CHANGING: Due to the scamming incident, I changed my approach to how I handle my finances, learnt to be very patient and read outside the lines.
LOVING: The Black Writer and Pastor Adekunle Osilaja on Instagram for their amazing Christian content.
Tanaka Tatsuyi for his exceptional artwork. I do not know what exactly it is that he does but whatever it is. I am absolutely loving it.
