Omg, it has been a while since I have been on here. The vibe has not been there to write. But, I have missed it, can’t lie. I also struggle with consistency about anything, so please bear with me.
Music, why not??

Welcome to the ‘koko’ of the matter
Lately, I have been having regrets about a lot of things and yeah yeah, I am just 22. But the major regret playing over and again in my head is that I was so ignorant of the opportunities I had while I was an undergraduate. These opportunities would have helped to strengthen my resume. Currently, I am a first-class graduate with no leadership and volunteering skills in a job that I hate because I am not developing. I have gotten so many rejections from other job applications because there are 20 people better than me. I have been thinking so much about this regret, and it is probably why I have not written since.
hmm, more ‘shalaye’ I guess
The painful thing with regret is that nothing can be done to reverse it, so you have to move on. Dwelling on it would make you lose out on future happiness. So, the best thing you can do is to forgive yourself for making the wrong choices in the past and learn from it. This is easier said than done by the way especially if you have people who made better choices than you did in the past constantly in your face. The key thing is to also constantly remember that different people have different journeys. The fact that your journey is slower does not mean you will not get to your destination. So cheer up, the bad choices you made might have kept you behind but working to catch up is self-development.
Yay!!! we made it to the end
Anyways, let’s get back to me — the main character of this story. I am in a space where I am trying to develop myself. So, I am doing a certification course, applying for volunteer jobs, watching youtube videos about random things, and still sending my resume to companies. I am not finding it easy at all because I procrastinate a lot and I am a lazy ass person.
In conclusion, keep it moving, and work on yourself, period!!!
