Feeling, the struggle & finding the strength
from being pushed out of moving vehicles to heartbreaks & heartaches, its a tinashemillicent life
Hey there, loyal readers! It's Tinashemillicent, back with another rollercoaster of a blog post! First off, huge thanks for sticking with me every Monday (I really do try to be consistent but its Wed). Sharing my life, ambitions, and mishaps is no walk in the park, especially with the fear of becoming a laughingstock or sounding like I've got my life together when I honestly don’t. But, that’s what makes this journey real and differentiates me from Jane Doe.
So, brew some coffee, get comfy, and let's dive into this week’s escapades. Lets get writing.
The weekend of Sun the 5th. Not exactly a highlight in my life. Saturday was a disaster—broken friendships, heartbreak, and a newfound distrust in people. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, Sunday came along to prove me wrong.
Remember when I didn’t have a mobile phone from January to April? Well, my wonderful sister and her friend decided I deserved one. It was a nice gesture and much needed. Then, fate decided to have a laugh. On that cursed Sunday, I got robbed. They tried to push me out of a moving car and made off with my phone. Thankfully, my laptop is safe, but my spirits? Not so much.
No Phone, No SIM Cards, No Fun
As if losing the phone wasn’t enough, both my SIM cards are gone too. And guess what? Recovering them isn’t happening anytime soon for reasons I’m too exhausted to explain. So, if you’ve been trying to reach me, sorry, I’m off the grid.
The Hacker Saga Continues
Also remember the Hacker Saga? Still ongoing and because of it, I’ve secured ALL my accounts. Downside? My 2FA is tied to one of those lost SIM cards. So, logging in anywhere is currently a no-go.
Work has also been a mix of desk-sitting and aimless wandering. I love my heels and being a corporate girly, but my job’s nature makes it hard to stay glamorous. By the time I get home, I’m too drained to work on my goals or even think straight. I would just want to sleep.
Week 7, Can You Believe It? Because I can’t.
Time flies when you’re barely keeping it together. Let’s talk achievements. What have we accomplished so far this ‘year’?
Despite the chaos, I’ve ticked off a few goals this ‘year’. A year-end recap is on the cards, but I’m not where I wanted to be. I’m not doing what I thought I’d be doing. Life happens, and sometimes, we just get busy. I need to get that little statement out of mind. It boosts my laziness’ ego
But MYND Over Matter
Soon, I’ll have weekdays free to truly focus on MYND. Before diving into the physical activity, I need to sort out the admin and logistics. This is something I’m passionate about and want to achieve. I didn’t enter the tech sector just for personal gain, but to empower others too.
This whole ordeal has taught me a thing or two about resilience. Losing my phone and SIM cards was a harsh reminder of how reliant we are on technology but surprisely I am alright and I don’t have withdrawal symptoms. It’s funny how a small device can hold so much of our lives. But it’s also been an opportunity to reflect on what truly matters. I’ve been forced to slow down, which has given me a new perspective on my goals and priorities.
Amidst all the chaos, I’ve learned to find joy in small victories. Whether it’s securing my online accounts or simply surviving another week, these little wins keep me going. I could have been raped or killed. Celebrating these moments has become essential for my mental well-being. It’s a reminder that progress, no matter how small, is still progress.
That’s all for this week.
Until next time,
Tinashemillicent.
