How long does it take for heartbreak to heal?
When I find out I’ll let you know.
I think my girl is cheating on me. What do I do?
Confirm if she is. If she is, dump her
I just want to crawl in bed with someone I care about and have my heart feel at home again and watch movies and talk about random stuff for hours
Jan: one of the most traumatic months of my entire life. My ex gaslit me the entire month and when I was inches away from a breakdown, he finally confirmed that I wasn’t crazy. He was in fact cheating on me. My relationship ended as January ended. I also started a new internship and ended my second semester of Grad school (somehow with a distinction); all whilst coming apart at the seams.
Feb: I saw no one; I had two psychologists; I was on suicide watch.
March: I got prescribed anti-depressants. I was in the deepest depths of heartbreak and depression.
April: I quit my internship early and postponed my dissertation deadline because I needed to heal my brain. I felt like my depressive episode would never end.
May: the clouds started clearing. I started seeing people again.
June: I made an active effort to enjoy my summer. Even though my heart was still hurting and my brain was slowly healing.
July: I landed my current amazing job.
August: I started my current amazing job, I saw my favorite Nigerian artist in concert (Odogwu).
September: I went to Gibraltar with one of my best friends and settled into my new role.
October: despite my INSANE anxiety, I applied for my new residence permit just on time and got approved for it less than 2 weeks later. I also finished Grad school with a DISTINCTION!
November: I signed the contract for my new apartment, went on a girls trip, and honestly felt whole for the first time all year.
December: I had a quiet birthday celebration, moved into my new apartment, and excelled at work.
What a ride! If you told me on Jan 1st, that it would turn out like this I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But I’m happy right now.
2022, give me ease, Health and comfort.
Jan: I fell down the stairs and hurt my back. 2 weeks later, I moved to London.
Feb: I met 2 of my close friends who formed my London tribe and I won a social enterprise pitching competition.
March: I got COVID and thought I was going to die alone. I didn’t.
April: I quarantined alone. The whole month.
May: I finished my first semester of Grad. school with a distinction. I continued to quarantine alone.
June: I got a great internship in the middle of the pandemic and finally got to reunite with friends after being alone for months.
July: My boyfriend finally came back to London after his country’s borders opened for the first time since March.
August: All I did was eat, laugh and fuck.
September: I made a documentary about period poverty and food insecurity.
October: Celebrated my 6month anniversary.
November: Had a lovely Friendsgiving with loving friends.
December: Celebrated my birthday, celebrated Christmas, got a new internship with a bigger role that starts in January.
I started 2020 suicidal AF, and I worked hard to end on a happy note. I cried, I attended sessions, opened up more to my loved ones and trusted that I was still alive for a reason.
2021 please be kind to me, I’m fragile.
Stay tuned for 2021’s
You’re so beautiful! I would date you if I could. Stay fly
Aww thank you xx
What are you looking forward to the most in 2022?
More money, more travel, more comfort, deeper love
