I miss writing. I haven’t had time for myself since and sometimes, when I think about publishing, I’ll remember all the school stuff I’m supposed to be doing. Sigh.
I’ve been keeping myself company with publications from other bloggers. I mean, if I’m not able to write without feeling that I’m not giving importance to other things in my life, I can read. Here’s something I read on Taisahâs Diary owned by my girl, Hasiat today. She’s quite funny and you’ll like it because it’s a relatable topic so click here.
How are you doing by the way? You had better be good âcos, after all, it’s almost Christmas. Meanwhile, I may look alright, calm and collected but deep down, I want my Mummy and Daddy to buy me Christmas clothes and shoes this year. I mean, I’m still your baby girl, Mr. and Mrs. Asak. đȘ
Soo, what are your plans for Christmas? are you going to turn up? Do you have money for Detty December? Well, if you don’t have money or if your December is going to be low key like mine, you can join in this Detty December challenge my boo found on the internet:

Speaking of money, I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW JANUARY USUALLY IS?! Yes, dear. Iâm shouting for emphasis because if you remember correctly, January this year was like three months in one. Please, while youâre turning up for December, remember to save because January is usually very long and people are usually broke. You can say how kind I am and how I always have your best interests at heart in the comment box.
đ
Moving on, I know Iâm pretty late on this but Fireboyâs album!!! If you have anything bad to say about that album, you are a hater and we should submit your case to Jesus. That album is the first Nigerian album Iâve listened to on repeat. I like all the songs and do you know one thing that makes it unique? Fireboy did not feature any other artists on his album and he still produced fire!! The guy is good abeg.
Alright..
What do you want to talk about today? Sorry, what do you want to read about? When I started writing this, I didnât have anything in mind but now, Iâm thinking that since the year is gradually coming to an end, we should talk about some stuff that need to be fixed before 2020. Iâm just going to write them as they come to mind.
WATCH YOUR TONGUE: So, we all know that some people do not have manners. They donât have manners at all. There are people that will go out of their way to be blatantly rude to you for no reason. Frankly speaking, some people will just make you feel terrible as if youâre the cause of their problems. We have often heard this saying that âif you donât have anything nice to say, donât say anything at allâ. But no! Theyâll just drain your self confidence and if youâre maybe feeling depressed, theyâll depress your depression too. Smh. What Iâm trying to say is that if youâre someone that talks anyhow with no regard to other peopleâs feelings, please stop it because nobody is smiling with you anymore and Iâm very sure that if the tables were turned, you wonât be able to take it. Words cannot be taken back, no matter how many times you say sorry. Be careful, donât talk carelessly. In fact, drop the annoying attitude today. God bless you.
STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO PEOPLE: Iâve talked about this so many times, so much that Iâm confident that I can write a book on it (Mummy, please after reading this donât come and tell me about how I should start writing a book. I have enough on my plate as it is. Thank you Ma). Okaaayyy, as I was saying; Youâre your own unique version. Nobody, I repeat, Nobody is better than you are. You honestly donât know how many people wish they could be where you are now. While youâre busy comparing yourself to others, you tend to miss out on the other great things about yourself. Just because youâre not where you want to be yet doesnât mean you wonât get there. Walk at your own pace.
IF ITâS GONE, LET IT GO: A lot of us are guilty of holding on to the past, letting our past define us. As much as I believe that we should try to get closure, we should not dwell on it for so long. How exactly are you supposed to proceed with your life if youâre still holding on to whatâs gone already? Youâre basically holding on to nothing. There are some friendships and relationships that you just have to let go of not necessarily because you want to but because theyâre not worth fighting for anymore. Holding on to these things just make you lose your peace.
This is me trying to make this blog post short so I’m going to stop here but I’m just gonna add that we should continually think positively and eat our fruits and vegetables.
I think we’ll be seeing each other one more time before this year ends. Meanwhile, just take care of you and stay happy.
Love,
‘Ruona â€ïž
P.S:
Detty December is a trending phrase on the internet which implies that people are going to have fun this month with the festivities and all.

Nice write-up Ruona. About things we should fix before 2020, I’d say rather than making a list of people we want to cut off and cut down this time of year, we should think of how we can add value to the people we have.
