Here’s to the gang that graduated online because of COVID … Ata hatukuskia vibaya.
The cohort that married/graduated in that season proved that you can graduate in your pjs and still be okay.
Am still feeling the pains of studying for 16 years only for a pandemic to stop me from taking my village people to my Murang’a University of Technology na kaRori.
Graduation in 2020 was too quiet I almost feel like I didn’t graduate.
The sad thing is unlike the CBC of today where 5 year olds wear graduation gown to mark transition to grade 1, I’d not worn the gown until 2020… Then I didn’t even flaunt it. Yaani my 7 year old sister’s graduation was more grand than mine because of COVID…
The people that got to be in school physically on the graduation day were the valedictorians ( I wasn’t)
But si ni life
In other news, IN MY PLANS….
By now I was supposed to be a Mother of 2 and one on the way…As we speak I almost killed a kitten I had adopted, lost it twice, and left it hungry for 2 days ( I forgot it existed). I felt so bad about my nurturing instincts that I just gave it away. Too bad I had even given it a name… MEAMOW..
I dare not say about the career expectations I had. Or the spouse I wanted
I am just wondering how in the world did I have such expectations of myself… AM STILL CHILDREN. Am still figuring out life but I expected to be having 3 mini. MEs honestly. Although I hear, when it comes to motherhood it just comes naturally… I hope and pray it’s true.
So far what I have to show for myself is character development and the fact that Meat knows it’s place ( proof In 2nd photo)But I’ll say am wiser, I easily extend Grace and I daresay am humble ( aware that all things come from God and at times it’s not about works)
So Sister Joy, please no pressure. Success is not a straight line. It is zigzag and waves in most times. You may not get there using the path you hoped but you will get there ( wharever THERE is to you).
If the pressure creases this holiday season reflect on how far you’ve come.
With love,
Your Fellow Delulu,
Sister Joy
