Hey Lovelies
Compliments of the season, trust the year is treating us all well.
The year opened quietly for me, not with loud resolutions but with a calm decision to release fear and confusion around money. I chose to let go of living from hand to mouth, constant borrowing, and the anxiety that followed me into every new month. I told myself this year would start small, honest, and clear, because small beginnings still move lives.
I entered the year with very few goals, but they were serious ones. I wanted a stable job with a better salary than my previous one. I wanted to clear my debts and make a firm decision not to owe again. I wanted to save, not in a choking way, but consistently and realistically that would not pressure daily living. Most importantly, I decided to release impatience completely.
Just two weeks into January, I can already see gentle signs that this choice matters. I got a new job that pays seventeen thousand naira more than what I earned before. That single change brought relief I did not expect. I have also cleared twenty-five percent of my debts already, something that felt impossible last year. I have not started saving yet, and that is intentional. I want to be free from debts first, so future savings will not become emergency money I keep touching.
For now, my biggest win is confidence. I can eat three square meals a day without calling anyone or feeling ashamed. I feel lighter, calmer, and more hopeful. These may look like little steps, but to me, they are loud victories. I am deeply grateful to God for these quiet wins, and I trust that this small beginning will grow into more progress than I planned.
Thanks for stopping by
Cheers 🥂
