The past week has been one of a kind. Who knew that entering into a new phase of your life has too many impactful events in the beginning? I stepped out of the building I’m supposed to be staying for night class and sat on the pavement instead because inside was becoming too claustrophobic and the cool balmy breeze outside was inviting.
I’m watching people milling about. Some leaving the school gate from different places, some returning from the several places they went, some just walking around, deep in conversations and fingers interlocked with either a friend or a significant other.
Some already deep into studying, trying to soak up pages and pages of notes that may or may not be significant in their lives a few years from now. And then there are others like me. Just seated on the pavement, and soaking up the night breeze. Waiting for something. Or someone.
It’s always nice people-watching. Especially when you have a brilliant weather about you. I love having to remember the fact that everyone is living their own individuals lives, with their own stories. That they have things that bring them joy or memories that bring them sadness. That before now or even currently, they are living in regret or basking in the bliss of making a great decision. It makes me more reflective than normal. Wondering if they are also wondering about my life as well. Or the lives of those in front of them.
I don’t know. Cool weather does this to me. I begin to ramble. But I find it nice, either way. Lol.
So yeah, back to the past week. It has to be something to remember and I can already feel my life changing, with new stories and new people and better memories. I’m exhilarated and exhausted all at once because of the baggage that may come with it. Last week was so overwhelming, I couldn’t bring myself to open a word document in five days. I kept coming up blank because it felt like my life was going way too fast to keep up with.
I’m in a new week and I’m wondering to myself how different this week will be. What will I be faced with? This year's classes are intriguing. I’m trying not to panic at this new semester and all the things I’m learning. Barristers and solicitors now professors and lecturers of the Law course droning on and on about how prestigious the course is and how it is our duty to uphold it in every way. Telling us that our professions should speak for us even before our personalities. Then proceeding to bombard us with notes so voluminous and concepts so profound, tears are brought to our eyes. Quite literally.
So yeah, I’m expectant. What would this new week bring? Would I be overwhelmed or would I be able to take it in stride? I’m already connecting with the most brilliant and interesting people. And it’s nice being able to connect with people that are so different yet something similar binds all of us. I also hope this week is better with my writing. There are projects that I’m about finishing and new career paths that are now open to me.
But this platform has been my liberation point for over two years now. So, I hope I always have something to share here. Something beautiful and worthwhile. But anyway, let’s not forget to smile this week and in the same vein, put a smile on others’ faces. Have a wonderful week everyone.

You're doing great. From the looks of things, you're doing amazing, actually. Just, maybe do less people-watching and all the reflective rambling cos that'll get you derealized and you don't want that to be a regular place to visit. Be present and enjoy your experiences as they unfold. There's always something to be worried about or look forward to, that we miss out on the awesomeness of the nows.
I hope your writing becomes more consistent again too. Ironic how positions have reversed. Lol
Super ironic, yeah? I've become the delinquent, lol. But it's okay. Just a temporary phase.
But yeah, I relish people-watching when I get to do it because of how few times I do it. I indulge myself once every quarterly or more. So, don't worry, dear. I could never lose sight of reality, lol.
The law 😂😂
Abeg abeg.😂
