January (The New Dawn).

Words had it that this January seems to be the fastest in the history of all Januarys. Well, maybe not but that’s hard to come by.

Just earlier today, had a deep conversation with a friend who stopped by the shop to get pastries, this is a guy who we both knew each other for barely 10 months yet have similar stories to share. His words to me today were “Tory you’ve grown so well and are still growing”…
This statement brought so much flashback to last year January, while at this very time then, I was so troubled and downcasted because the year wasn’t going as planned for me. From being rubbed to joblessness, more like the saying “from frypan to fire”’ it was terrible.
I met my friend around March last year, and even then couldn’t still pinpoint a direction. I was everywhere and nowhere. By that time though I’d founded Hive and joined but still yet needed my plans to play into reality and oh! It looked harder than expected.

See me then giving myself a time frame on the duration to get myself sorted out or go back home. Although home was an option but never one in my heart and that’s because of how much I find admiration in proving my inner weakness wrong. Last year was the year I learned never to put on a time limit when goals are present, yes a lot would say it tightens the push but I say it’s an emotional drainage, I fell Ill more than five times last year, and am certain thinking was partly the reason for the sickness.
Then this same friend of mine would prepare a meal and bring it over because he knows I would never ask for food even if am dying lol.
And when I could afford a meal, I do likewise.. all happened last year and mine was from the beginning of the year, one of the few times I prayed for January to be slower so I could gather enough time to fit in and meet on top of my goals.

However, this year is a lot different in a good way and just again like I would always say until the time is right., I would share my story someday and then the whole piece would make perfect sense all the way.
Every January would always remind me of that one January, because it marked the beginning of a new episode and a total change of plot in my life journey and it was a good one✨
