Yep, I’m Mad!
I’m so mad right now. Actually, I’m just upset. No, I am MAD, very much so! I am allowed to be mad. I am allowed to feel all my emotions and articulate exactly how I feel without feeling the need to tone it down so I am not labelled as aggressive or less feminine.
You see, that’s the thing… when you let yourself get tagged with anything other than your name it chips at your emotions. But isn’t that what makes us human? Or do we now identify as robots? So yes, I am not an angry woman, I’m just mad right now and that is okay!
Lesson I: Feel your emotions and express them the right way.
Anyway, I digress as I always do because there are probably seven hundred and eighty-seven tabs open in my head. But I’ll tell you why I’m upset, sorry… MAD! You know one thing I’m learning as an adult? Mistakes are a lot more expensive nowadays! How does a delayed payment or even a delayed click on your PC make you lose… A LOT?!
In case you don’t fully get the gist, I lost all my content I had published prior to this one. I missed the renewal deadline (which to be fair, I was aware of) because I was occupied with other things and didn’t even bother. I spent a better part of my day chatting with the customer service team that hosts my blog. While they were really helpful and patient with me, there was nothing they could do to retrieve the lost content since no backup was done. My fault. All this just to say I was careless. I knew better and should’ve done better, but here we are. Enough of the ‘could’ve, should’ve’ sob stories. In reality, I didn’t do better, and these are the consequences.
Lesson II: Some mistakes are expensive and will cost you what you’ll never be able to get back.
So what did I do after that realization? I lounged on the sofa, snuggled under the duvet, and binged the final episode of SUPACELL—have you been watching too? I’m not big on sci-fi or those super futuristic movies, but this one got me hooked. Maybe it’s because it’s easy to follow or maybe it’s the cast of good-looking actors—can’t blame me there. Who no like better thing?
ANYYWAAYYYYY!
It’s the second half of the year, and I’m hitting refresh. Who cares how many times you have to restart, right? As long as it’s for something you love and it’s good for you! Recently, I got a gentle reminder of why I started my blog —it’s my little corner of the internet where I spill my thoughts, secretly thinking no one will notice, all while sharing the link on my very public Instagram page. LOL!
Lesson III: It’s okay to start over sometimes, but never give up on what you really want.
On that note, I’m calling it a day. You’ll agree it’s rude to keep this warm suya from Yahuza in-foil waiting, along with my Chi Exotic pineapple—by the way, is it just me, or is this drink getting lighter every day? Okay before I start talking about something completely unrelated, thanks for reading! I’ve learned my lessons, obviously.
