Hello there!

Merry weekend...

Today had been annoying for me, from a stressful morning to disappointment later, and I was really frustrated. At a point, I just laid in my bed crying, as per my solution to every problem, lol.

When I was done crying, my sister sat me down and told me stories, gory details to be honest, and omor, when I looked at the events she narrated and what I was supposedly going through, mehn, my problem looked so minute.

Now, whatever I was going through was valid, it was a lot, looking at only myself, do you get? But the trick is this, can you look beyond your current issues? Because the moment you can, you’d be able to be grateful to have chaos so small it fits on the tip of your tongue.

Dearest reader, sometimes we get so consumed by our own pain that we forget that life is happening to everybody, and some people are fighting battles they don’t even have the strength to explain.

This isn’t to make you feel guilty for feeling bad, no. Your feelings are valid, your tears are valid, and your frustration is valid. But if you can, take a step back sometimes. Breathe. Reassess. Count your blessings with both hands.

Because even in the middle of your storm, there’s still something to be thankful for.

So tonight, I’m choosing gratitude. I’m choosing to stop magnifying my problem and start magnifying God. I’m choosing to rest in the fact that things will get better, and I will be fine.

And I hope you choose that too.

Have a beautiful weekend.
