Unwinding has always been fun, until I hung out with someone who ruined my day. (Story for another day)

Well, I've always been a lover of solitude, so I embarked on another route to make up for my bad day. I wanted a very quiet place but then I remembered someone...My girl from way back. Alisha!

Alisha had an award to receive at Landmark Event Center and even though I had declined initially, I decided to surprise her.

I booked a ride to the location and I couldn't wait to see her reaction. When I stepped into the event center, she was super excited. The smile on her face said it all.

I never knew how much my presence meant so much to her, until she mentioned my name on the podium as a sign of gratitude for gracing the award ceremony when she was called upon to receive her award. It was such a honor to know I was acknowledged in a sea of people. It was such a brief event.

After the event, we decided to visit a nearby eatery to catch up for all the lost times, because we've been busy. After high school everyone got so busy with their lives, fixing it and finding their path, we barely kept in touch. We chatted once in a blue moon.

I was glad I eventually visited her, we talked at length, took some selfies and discovered great songs together. Way back in high school, we used to sing together on our way home and that bonded us so much. It made us reminisce about the good old days and nothing beats having a genuine conversation with a friend you've known over the years. It's one of the best feeling in the world.

After spending some quality time with her, I headed home but trust me to still hangout with myself. Haha I love myself to always wanna be with me.

So I visited a newly opened Cinema to see the talked about movie. It was such a great time. I think I've worked so hard and deserves some treat. And for everytime I spend some me-time, I discover yet something new about myself. So I've made it a habit to always create a me-time once or twice a month.

The ticket I bought covered for some poocorns and soft drink. I did had an amazing day even though it started with someone trying to ruin my day.

I've learned that we have the power to take charge of our mood. Once you tell yourself you can't make today end up being such a bad day, you'll do can you can to stay happy despite all odds.

I still have one more event to attend tomorrow before I call it a wrap for 2025. I hear it's gonna be so much fun as a few celebrities are gracing the event.

I look forward to having fun, networking, and everything good the day has to offer.
