Letter to March.

Hey March, it’s good to see you again.

How have you been? Before you ask, I’m good, or at least I think so. Either way, what matters is that I am actually here to write to you.

It’s been a while, a year right? I desperately need to talk to someone, thank you for being here for me. I think it’s a good time for a rundown of how this year has been.

I avoided this when I was with Feb. Right now I’m okay so, let’s go for it. 2024 hasn’t been that bad. Its been great but there have been a few challenges. I would be lying if I said otherwise.

Can I call it the worst of years? I don’t think I’d take it that far. I would say that I’m going through a lot, I would say we’re all going through a lot. I think almost anybody living in Nigeria currently can actually say that. Despite it all, we’re actually doing okay. I think we’re actually just managing and pushing. Which is literally similar to the theme that we have for this year, ‘No gree for anybody.’ We’re not greeing for anybody o. Remember!

Let’s try some honesty. How’s it really been?

January…

So, I think that January started out really chill. I was doing so good at the beginning of January. Everything was really coming into perspective. I was truly working with my plans and resolution. I was putting more time and effort into making sure that I’m getting the best out of myself, not wasting time and doing things that are healthy for me so I can remain in good spirits.

But I think somewhere along the line, can I say something went wrong? I can’t actually say that because if anything went wrong, it’s probably my fault. I don’t know what went wrong. And all of a sudden, you know that whole cool, chill, productivity vibe just dwindled away somehow. I was still kind of handling everything one way or another, but it wasn’t like before.

February…

Then getting into February was really stressful. I started a new business and I have to say once again, it’s not easy to start a new business. It’s not easy to run a business. It is one of the hardest things to do. I mean, I’m still learning. I’m learning on the job because, it’s the first one that I’m actually like running. I’m putting a lot of effort into it. So Feb was really stressful. I lived basically for the weekend. That’s just the way it goes. I was stressed most of the time, working on things I wasn’t even particularly interested in. Losing focus of some of my goals… Remembering some of my goals and not being able to figure out how to chase them. It was really something.

March…

This is the third month of 2024. I am not exactly where I want to be. I think that I definitely expected more from myself by now. I see some things I wrote in the past, that j should’ve achieved by now and I’m just not there yet. I’m actually disappointed in myself to a fault.

But…

I’m also realizing that I’m not a perfect person. I need help and I should always be willing to accept help whenever I need it. John Donne once said ‘No man is an island…’

Basically, I just need to work more on myself. I need to get back into that mood and vibe of early January.

March, I’m hoping you help me out here. I think at the outset , I just wanted to say hi to you and say a few things. I didn’t realise that I had a lot to say to you.

I’m really glad you’re listening to me and I’m sorry it took a while before I wrote you. I feel I can be free with you and I think you’re really going to help me a lot. I don’t know, I just feel like it. I do hope my feelingis spot on though. I’ll just have to see how it goes.

So…

I’m looking forward to working on myself. I’m looking forward to working with you this month amd achieving a better me. There’s some things that I actually really believe in and I’m actually praying for them. This month is literally the borderline. I have to achieve those things. I definitely have to achieve those things.

I’m really tired. I know that’s surprising for people. I mean this is just the third month and we’ve just only started it. But I think I’ve actually gone through a lot between January and February. Everything’s alright though, or at least it will be and that’s okay.

It’s time for me to prioritize my peace. To work with myself and my peace. I feel like if I have peace, I can achieve so many other things. You know, the whole chaos of the world, I just really need to learn to withdraw and actually pay attention to myself more. If I can do that, I think things would eventually work out.

Hey March, you’re really helping me think things through here. This is so nice. I feel so much better talking with you. I don’t want to make this a long one. Thank you for listening to me. I’m looking forward to working with you and myself this month.

Bye for now. I look forward to writing you againge to let you know how much better I’m doing.

With love from,

Towalayo.
