How do you keep on keeping on?

How do you keep on keeping on?

A friend of mine reached out to me yesterday, commending how well I’m holding up given that it’s been a week since I lost my phone and I’ve still been showing up and carrying on like nothing happened.

Omor, I didn’t even know what to say because really, how was I holding up? I was just going through each day and deciding to be happy. I remember spending a whole day crying and that didn’t bring back my phone. Me that does not like stress, anything that’s way out of my control, I won’t even allow it stress me.

Being sad wasn’t going to fix it, so I chose not to drown in it. I chose to show up for me and still do what I normally do because I have a system that supports that.

I hold myself to a certain standard, a certain routine and like the words from a poem I like say, “even if the light’s turned off and my fears are not gone, I’ll give it my best shot because the show must go on.”

Dearest reader, I read somewhere that the world doesn’t stop for broken people, so as you’re crying, just be moving small small too. Like they say, “dey cry dey go front.”

How do you keep on keeping on?

For me, I don’t really have another choice. I have to, because the journey is far and things can always be worse. But you, how do you do it?

Ask yourself that.
