The day of my dreams.

What is a perfect day to you?

For the most part of my life, I've been a very disorganized person. I'm not really sure if "disorganized" is the right word to use but planning has always been difficult for me, owing to the fact I'm a very lazy and impulsive person. Don't look at me like that, I'm working on it.People that can plan their day and everything actually goes according to plan are like gods to me ‘cause you mean you're disciplined enough to not discard your plans and do something else just for the plot?

So, at the beginning of this year, I decided to make a mood board for 2024 to, you know, spice things up a lirtu bit. This mood board contained a whole lot of things but the one thing that is important to this letter is the description of an ideal day for me that I wrote on a page. On this page, I outlined how a perfect day for me should be like, from 5am to 12am.

Ladies and mentlegen, I'm staring at this thing right now and based on what I can see here, I can't really say I've had a perfect day this year.

Well, I like to blame my college for everything, so, yes, it's not my fault, it's my college's fault. Looking back at these past six months, I realized that most days just passed in a blur and I did a lot of things last minute. Many times, I'd actually plan my day ahead only for me to abandon my plan for something very mundane (it's sleep most of the time). Some days, I just get overwhelmed by whatever emotion that I'm feeling and that's it, bye to whatever plan I've made.

So, have I been having imperfect days since January? No now. I've had so many beautiful days so far this year, despite all the shege I went through. All thanks to God for the gift of men. However, a little bit of planning wouldn't be bad, right? Also, it's not enough to plan, it's also very important to be disciplined enough to follow the plans you have made. Anyways, I’ve had enough of this scatter scatter lifestyle. Time to stand on business.🧎🏾‍♀️

The day of my dream.

The day of my dream is any day that I wake up early enough to pray and meditate on my own, before the hustle and bustle of the day begins. This is so important to me because I've realized that these days are always beautiful days. Note that beautiful in this context might not necessarily mean a day filled with sunshine and roses, these days are beautiful for me because there is a different kind of calm in my heart; the "joy in chaos" type of calm. I totally hate days that I wake up so late and I just rush out like that. Those days are very bad for my nervous system cause it's almost like I'm always waiting for something to go wrong.

For me, right now, a perfect day is a productive day. Productivity is something that's very important to me right now and since this holiday is 3 months long, I've been thinking of different ways to make good use of the free time I have. I really want to be able to make a list of daily tasks and at the end of the day, I have ticked off everything on the list. You know, I paid for a course on time management very recently and I think it's crazy that I actually put my money down for such a thing. I surprised myself with that, to be honest but I'm proud of myself, anyways. I mean, I'm putting in efforts to become a better person and it feels really good.

I just want this period to come to an end and I'll be able to say that yes, I have made good use of my time.

My love, to be honest, any day that I'm able to write something, even if it's just two lines, is an ideal day for me. Quality time and beautiful conversations with my friends? My day is made like mad. If I eat spaghetti in a day, trust me, that's a very perfect day. Today is perfect day for me because I can write to you. If at the end of a day, I sit back and I can see that I have been an outlet of God's love to others in the smallest way possible, that's a perfect day for me. A perfect day for me is a day in which I pleased God in everything I did. You're asking how I'll know if I have pleased God? It's very simple. Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, let these three things be evident in your life daily, bam! You have pleased God.

Colossians 1 vs 10

"so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God"
