Grateful 🥰

Heyyyyy my people

How have you been???

Is it to late to say happy Valentine’s Day?? Naahhh it isn’t! Every time is a good time to remind ourselves about love.

I have been well... Not so much physically but I am good, really good.

Disclaimer: Please do not have a major health crisis in Nigeria except you have one billion uncountable dollars and/or you have plenty connections because the health system is just the absolute ghetto tbvh.

My health is still in limbo…

Looking at doing a major surgery anytime soon, my heart is doing more work than it can.

Still having weird frequent tremors.

Still unaware of what is going on in my brain.

My body is still fighting against itself in very funny ways.

And everyday is a good day for my body to say “let’s see how to come up with symptoms crazier than previous days.”

But in all of these; I’ve maintained my joy… I have been able to seamlessly lean into the arms of Abba, my dearest lover… I have been at peace… I have been content… I have laughed so much and my tribe has been my greatest support system.

This letter is me pretty much sharing what I am most grateful for 😊

(1) Jesus - The one who has carried me so graciously and kept my joy and hope alive.

(2) Family - for slowly learning to listen to me and care for me (the way they know how to), for randomly calling to ask how I’m doing, for asking what meal i’ve just had and how’s long ago that was, for wanting to be there for me and for praying for me ceaselessly.

(3) Friends - who have become my lifeline and truest soldiers, for being everything I need and more and for committing to fighting with me to stay alive.

(4) Love - that chooses me and allows itself to be chosen, that makes me laugh about the simplest, silliest things; for being my safety and for unraveling itself.

My heart is full, my mind is at rest and I am at peace.

I am grateful to have lived this far.

I commit to living fully.

I am hopeful to live some more.

I am infinitely loved by God and people.
