WOW!! I cannot believe another year is here. 2020 just went buy as if it was being blown by the wind. A lot has happened this year with Corona and so much more. On that note, I hope you are keeping safe.
Mama G's journey continues early next year. I remember the last post like my life depended on it. Actually, I don't have a very good reason as to why I stopped writing, but deep down in my heart I actually know the reason why I stopped writing. And if you guessed it, Love was the reason.
You know, when I was a young girl, I never thought much about life and the future. I grew up in an upcountry. Growing up in the upcountry, Life was really sweet, every day was an adventure, going to the river to fetch water and to fish, going to the forest to gather some firewood, exploring the vast wildness and the forest. every day was simply an adventure. At night we would sit and gather by the fireplace and either my grandfather or my grandmother would tell us stories. we always looked forward to the stories. they were really captivating. I have to say that they were gifted in storytelling. Furthermore, in my tribe, the grandparents and the children, belong to the same age group. I think that is the reason why they understand children so well. quite a contradictory if you ask me.
Living upcountry, there was no electricity. believe me, we just heard stories about electricity. However, a shopping center was soon established nearby in the village and it had electricity. We would go there at night just to see the wonder that is electricity. However, I loved my life. Playing in the fields and stealing fruits from other people's lands, climbing trees, and many more. Moving to the city filled me with a lot of sadness. I was no longer able to watch the sky at night because of all the lights, there were no chilling forests to go for an adventure, no natural rivers to fish and swim, nothing. however, there was electricity. which made me fall in love with watching television. And since then, movies became my new passion. They still are, the only way I would cope with life was either watching a movie or writing. that was my medicine.
However, I met Tee and he showed me how to think about the future, how to think about tomorrow. He was so different from me, that I was amazed at how he viewed the world. however, our differences were the main reasons for our arguments. Personally, I don't know why people look for love and dream of being in love. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you shouldn't fall in love, but don't look for it, it will find you when you least expect it, and be ready for your world to change. A complete change. Because from my experience, love rocked my world, it changed everything I knew and opened me up to this new world. A world that I had no idea existed. I think one of the main things that falling in love took away from me was writing. Writing has and will always be my passion. but having fallen in love, it became quite challenging to write anything. This is ironic if you ask me because I thought love is supposed to inspire.
Tune in next year as my journey to motherhood continues.
Happy holidays and may you have a happy new year.
