Dear Reader,
How are you doing? I just finished reading a part of Dream Count by Chimamanda Adichie and was about to start my day when I suddenly got the urge to write to you.
It’s the 5th month. How time flies! I mean, was it not about a minute ago we were celebrating getting into the new year?
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about evolution and growth. From the perspective of how the cycle of life is so thrilling and difficult to comprehend.
From being just a baby, to adulting, and then aging. Omo, it seems like a mystery even though there have been a series of biological concepts explaining this.
There’s a trend I saw on TikTok recently where daughters are dressing their mothers in their 60s/70s like them. They transitioned into someone young physically; people gush over the transformation, but to me, I know it’s beyond the physical appearance.
As you grow in age, so is your subconscious growing. One of the things that terrifies me is losing touch with things I once connected with. These days, I find myself thinking a lot about the people I grew up with. We are all grown adults now and everyone is just basically trying to find their feet and live.
When I go out, my thoughts wander. I notice everything; From the young boys and girls I see in their school uniforms, some slouching their bags on their shoulders, others with them fully strapped on their backs, to the men and women of age on the same street going about their business, and people like me in our twenties, dangling in between leaving the threshold of adolescence and trying to make sense of being fully initiated into adulthood.
I want to write more, but it seems I can’t right now.
Life is beautiful, and I’m grateful to have made it to this point in my own cycle of life. I just want to remind you of life’s impermanence, that nothing we own will be ours forever. If you can, hold on to the present moment.
Chakam whatever you want to hold on to. I hope you find peace and embrace every stage of your life cycle.
See ya.
Nothing to Chakam at the moment but when it comes, we'll definitely Chakam to that moment
