I'm up at 1am thinking about my life and having those momentary jolts of motivation. Well, a health issue is actually the reason I am awake. I haven't slept well since the start of the week because of it and tonight is no different. I'm spending tonight doing a bit of research on career paths in my field and the best next step to take to really stand out. I am now completely done with my master's program and I am in the market for a good job that I'll love. It does feel good to say I am completely done with school because it came with a lot stress. I don't miss crying while writing some of my assessments or struggling to meet deadlines but I do miss the research and brainstorming part. I have always been excited about the career prospects available even though it's a tough choice between desirable, available and attainable lol. Overall, I'm in a good place right now and feeling very optimistic.

What can I say? I have a roof over my head, food on my table, a lovely life partner, and I'm not dying. It seems cliché but this is the level of adulthood I have unlocked - gratefulness for the seemingly regular. I now understand why when I was younger, adults would randomly sigh and say, "thank you Jesus". Sometimes all you can be is just grateful for being able to have a rest or sleep. I wish I was asleep right now and on a 100 but I'm not. I'm grateful I'm breathing though, and I'm grateful my mental health is not in the mud currently. What 'regular' things are you grateful for?

Well done girl, you did it against all odds, you are one brave.

Congratulations and cheers to many more wins🥰🥰

Wow. It's no wonder I haven't been seeing you around here on Hive. Glad you are done with your master's programme and done with school. I hope you find a great job worth it. Take care of your health too. God is in control 🙏
