DECISIONS



Sometime in February, I was at the cinema. The day I went, they had Black Panther, 50 shades freed and Maze runner: Death cure all lined up and running at about the same time. I was very ecstatic about watching Black Panther due to the hype, I wanted to see what was making people go crazy 😁. However, I was also intrigued by the 50 shades series so I wanted to see how it would all come to an end, plus I had seen a couple of trailers before. I also wanted to watch Maze runner, although not as much as I wanted to see the other 2 but I've also followed the series so I wanted to see the end of it all. Plus Dylan O'Brien 😍 who played the role of Thomas was there so I had to see one of my favourite actors take on 'Wckd' for the last time on screens.



 After weighing all my options, I decided to watch Black Panther with hopes that I would be able to get the rest at school from fellow movie fanatics 😊. Thank God I did. Now here I am, 2 months later, I have both Maze runner: Death cure and 50 shades freed all in HD on my laptop for my private viewing 😊😊 but still haven't gotten Black Panther in HD 😢. It sure made me feel happy that I had made the best decision 2 months ago.

 However, I don't always make the best decisions. Most times, I feel like I make the worst possible decision there is. Most times, when I go to the cafeteria and I have to choose between 2 different food combos, after buying, when I get to my room to eat, I usually feel like I made the worst choice after taking the first spoon 😣.


Most times I feel like I make bad decisions and maybe I really have made bad decisions but you know what I've learnt? Over thinking it and blaming myself about it has never helped change or make the decision better. I usually just have to live with the results of my decisions and if it's a decision I get the opportunity to make again, I'd be wiser off next time but if it isn't, I must make the best out of the 'bad' decision that I've made. I call it maximising my outcomes no matter what.

I'M MOVING TO AUSTRALIA 🥳🎉🎉

I’m moving…. AGAIN? Call me Kwaku the traveller cos I do be travelling… but not this time. I’m actually moving. By now, most (if not everyone) reading this blog knows I've moved to Sydney, Australia. When I first posted about arriving in Australia on WhatsApp, I think some people thought I was just visiting Australia because I have been travelling A LOT this year. In just 9 months of this year, I've been to 6 countries, including Singapore and Australia, which is A LOT! If you didn't already figure it out, the reason I was travelling like a headless chicken in summer was because I sorta knew I was leaving the UK. So I wanted to get the most out of that location proximity and visa while I could. Few people fully understand how and why I made the move, and posting this on Twitter revealed this very jarringly. Especially since the tweet referenced me having worked in Cairo, London and now Sydney all by the --- very ripe (I quickly rued my choice of "very ripe age" a...

MARRIAGE

Let's start this piece with a little thinking exercise When you think of weddings, what pictures usually come to mind? Probably something like this ▲ Or this ▲. But hardly something like this ▼ Here's the fun reality about marriages. As fun as the attention, the gifts, the flowers, the sometimes expensive rings, THE LOVE! the jaw dropping dress and the really snazzy suit may look on the "wedding day"; more often than not, that's all it ever gets to be 😞. Few years down the line, (if it ever gets to last that long) all those things would be faint memories of what had been. At that time, guess what remains? the person! The one that you promised to love, to have and to hold and all that overflogged wedding vow mantra 😞. He/she is the one left behind. The reality that you'd be left with.  Now forgive my tone, this might actually be a good thing if you got together for the "right reasons" and have been able to tolerate e...

THE FEAR OF LONELINESS

Walking down the street without a companion, sitting at a restaurant table for two alone, staying at home with no one to hang out with on a Friday night. Thoughts like these normally come to mind when we hear the word 'loneliness' and thus we can easily say we aren't lonely because we are always in the company of friends and family and even when we're on our own, we aren't truly alone because we have our devices that connect us to thousands of people at virtually a push of a button... If only loneliness was that simple 😩.  True loneliness lies in being surrounded by people of similar tastes and preferences and still feeling alone. True loneliness resides in having to hide parts of who you are and things you feel just to fit in. True loneliness is being accepted for who you are not! True loneliness is... being unique but having to act like everyone else 😔. Personally, I've had my share of lonely moments but I won't be talking about myse...
