Life Of A Rebel

It's 30th December, 2017. The last Saturday and the last weekend in the year 2017. Hurray!!! Having put down my goals for 2018, I apparently can't wait to get started on them. I'm excited and at the same time terrified of what the year will bring but of course I take solace in the fact that God's gat me. Psalms 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 2017 thank you for the lessons learnt, the hurts, the tears shed, the failures, the trials, tribulations, persecutions. Above all else, thanks for the junk food and of course weight gained in all the right places. A big thank you also, for my friends (both old and new), my annoying family and siblings (can't have it any other way), my successes and accomplishments, my tough and larger than life heart (yeah! All I've got is tough love), my amazing personality (learnt alot about myself this year).  2017, you were the year I started out on my journey as a blogg...

It's 3 days to Christmas and I finally stopped procrastinating this post. 2017 *signs* was by far my best and worst year so far. I can't still comprehend how possible it is for something to make me cry and shout happily at the damn same time. I ended 2016 on a terrible note so I wasn't exactly optimistic about the year following it. I was so disoriented that I couldn't do the traditional crossover night; I was at a bad spot physically, spiritually, psychologically, financially and academically. I was ready to throw in the towel and give up but then again I wasn't ready to live in a world without my dreams. *pauses* January 2017, I was in another man's land trying to figure things out. I felt so alone with so many unfamiliar faces around me, the familiar faces just saw the smile on my lips but not the unshed tears in my eyes. I was so good at hiding the pains they thought I was in paradise. How I survived January, I'll never know. February 2017 - I was in a ...
