Unwritten chapters||Writing my own story in the new year

TikTok, TikTok!!! That’s the big clock that is always said to senior me countless times. I’ve had the story over and over again, and indeed I confirmed it's true; my dad has the habit of inscribing dates of valuables he buys. Out of curiosity, I removed the wall clock, and to my utmost surprise, “Bought 19/10/99” was boldly written. I laughed so hard, imagining the age gap of 3 years, and it’s still operating well; you just need to change the batteries after their lifespan is done and watch it perform its magic.
Well, it's 31st December, the last day of the year, and I’m not sure what to expect of the coming year. Unlike my younger years, I was always glad I’d be a year older soon, but now it’s all different. The past year has been a rollercoaster with ups and downs that had me feeling drained. Sha Baby, how do you feel about the coming year? Mama questioned, “Mixed feelings?” I blurted out, I mean, what's the need of a new year when I don’t know what else to expect in this country again? I just want to make you and Dada happy." I said again with my tear-filled eyes. Why not look at the brighter side of things? Look, go stand in your window, raise your head, and gaze at the sun, Mum instructed. I reluctantly got up. Standing by the window, I couldn’t look directly at the sun. What’s this now, Mummy?" My eyes hurt; this sun is too bright; my eyes cannot even contain it. Very good!!! She exclaimed… I might not also know the exact steps you need to take; focus on development and expect a future brighter than the sun. Now chin up, get dressed properly, and let me not get to the kitchen before you: “The African mother in her just found expression in split seconds."
Fast forward to midnight, I grabbed my notebook and a pen, settling into an armchair, gazing at the fireworks-lit sky, feeling a mix of emotions that cannot be said, as I continued watching the fireworks explode. With a deep breath, I opened my notebook and prayed silently. “Dear Lord, I’m tired of not always getting things done.” I immediately knew I was suffering from a protracted illness called procrastination and urgently in need of medical attention; I should be rushed to the emergency unit due to its bad condition, but then I also knew the physician there is myself, a reminder that another year was slipping away, I felt a sense that I had been sleepwalking through life waiting for something—anything—to shake me awake… I guess life did; I made a vow to myself that “it’s a do-it-now year, the year I will take control, shatter the status quo, and chase my dreams with reckless abandon; it’s the year I’m bagging my five-years-turned-six-years course, a year given to lots of exposures; there’s no way a month of the year will pass and I won’t get to read a book; I’ll definitely fan the flame of my writing skills and ensure I meet up to HIVE’s demands and expectations."
This might not go well with you, but I’m cutting off friends, especially the leeches. You cannot keep draining and dragging me back; there’s no way it’s going to happen now. My schedules are so busy, and after getting starved of my attention, they can’t cope; I chuckled.
While I’m not sure I can keep up with the soda challenge, I definitely know water has a lot of physical, mental, and cognitive functions, and as well I’m really going to take more of it. I got a very good cold and hot temperature flask with my name inscribed on it, and that I’ll keep to use.
Ahaaaaaaa!!! It is said that a merry heart is like a medicine, and a broken spirit dries up the bones; joy’s going to be habitual. I’ll learn it and do it irrespective; I should be able to light up someone’s countenance. And this I learnt, scribbled to my heart, is this: “While I wait for complete healing, I am healed enough to serve a hurting person, I smiled.
Everyone is inside getting ready for crossover, and you’re here sitting and mumbling words. By the time we are all done, ensure you fly to meet us in church. Daddy, abruptly brought back my consciousness… I’m going to put these all to application as the world watches me soar.
