Things; like me promising myself that I’ll be blogging daily, even if it’s two lines sometimes lol. Things; like me practising to apply eye shadow like a pro using this palette my sister brought me…

Things; like coffee, (yes coffee, not tea), and chicken, and mangoes, and a lot of other things.

Some days, it’s the little things that really carry you through. Today, at 1445 hours, I’m sitting back and thinking about them. Good breakfast; avocado involved, obviously. The scent of coffee lingering in the house (even though tea is my main love, I’ve been drinking more coffee lately, and adding lemon? Surprisingly decent). Chicken marinating in spices, making me look forward to dinner (who am I lying to? Probably late lunch, and then I’ll eat something else for dinner. We’ll see).

A sweet voice note waiting for me like a tiny reward for doing a boring task. And then… mango season, y’all. I’ve been indulging, and honestly, biting into a perfectly ripe mango is just bliss.

Life can be a lot (been feeling its ‘a lot-ness’ a lot), and some days you need grand plans, big wins, and huge victories. Other days, you just need good food, nice smells, juicy mangoes, and just other things.

What thing has made you happy today? Let me know:-)

Yours,

Njoks.

(I wanted to attach a picture of me wearing eyeshadow but I’d probably rather not; kinda still want you to take me seriously haha!)
