  • A letter to whoever’s Listening
    In this episode, I read a letter to my listeners containing things I’ve learnt about life from growing up.
    (transcript)
    A letter to Whoever’s listening
    Dear listener,
    How are you doing? I hope you're good, I'm writing this letting to let you know, I’m thankful for time and growth, yes this surprises me too cause they were times when the pain was too much for me, times I was too numb to feel but I’m grateful, now this isn’t me saying that I’ve mastered the art of growing older, you never do, you just learn to live rather be alive, you learn things happen for a reason, that every situation’s meant to teach a lesson as long as you’re willing to learn, you learn relationships expire and people leave to make room for other people, you learn the saying “if it’s truly yours it’ll come back” is true but you also learn that you get to decide if you want that back in your life, you learn to take things easy and remain present, you learn everyone’s struggling or going through something cause life doesn’t revolve around you, you’ll learn to know your value and your place in people’s lives, you’ll learn to walk away when situations no longer benefit you, you learn to be at ease with time, you learn to take moments to breathe in deep, you learn to look at the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars again like you once did as a child, you learn to be thankful for everything and be excited about everything like you were as a child, and eventually, you’ll begin to find your younger self again, you’ll forgive your younger self for leaving and they'd forgive you for forgetting them and at this point, you’d have to relearn yourself. you’d learn to accept the mistakes you made and you'll begin to see them as lessons and eventually, your memories won’t hurt you anymore, anxiety will kick your ass but eventually, you’ll understand that your anxiety is only a result of your imagination not the reality of the future because you never know what will happen, though the uncertainty of the future may push you into apathy don’t worry you’ll find your place in the present and through all of these cycles, depression might kick your ass and half the people in your life wouldn’t exist anymore but that's life. you’ll also most likely lose your mind over things you can’t control but in all honesty that’s just life, it’s a cycle of growth, learning, endless trials and tribulations simply because life teaches us to be better for ourselves and others and in all honesty, nothing is worse than a stagnant thing because stagnancy equals death, in the words of modern day philosopher kehlani Ashley parish “what is not growing is dead if you Can't understand get the fuck out my face” I added the last part cause people will get tired of your ass if you don’t grow up and dump your childish behaviours cause ain’t nobody gat time for that, besides all this growth is to teach you to create your happiness, to value your time and energy, to do what you love and to be at peace with yourself because that’s all that matters and eventually you’ll realize you just have to keep going not for anyone else but yourself now I’m not tryna be a motivational speaker, I’m just telling you the truth everyone might fail you, the reality is we’re the only ones that can save ourselves because we have to do this shit for ourselves, so fall, learn and pick up yourselves and get back on your grind and shit because that's what growing up is about. If you ever need anything feel free to hit me up because that's what I'm here for, to lend a helping hand
    Yours sincerely,

Growing up has to be one of the hardest things to do, every moment we spend on earth raises more questions, and just when we think we’ve "figured it out” life goes “psych, you thought”.
