Exhale...

I don't like how & why I skipped a month of writing on here 😟😟. I'd told myself that this year & this space in particular would get the best version of me. I'd said that I'd try so hard to put up a post (if not two+) on here every month. Sadly, last month was really just a shitty month and I wasn't the best version of me hence the lack of a story 🤗.  Look who we have here today though?! I realize that for me to have great flow of ideas, I have to be in the right headspace. September gave me none of that!! ☹

So, where's my head at? 

Dear Mercy, what's the one thing you want addressed by you? Well, now that you asked. I'd like to actually tell myself something I consider very vital to general life progress. 

Mercy, breathe! INHALE. EXHALE. 

Things can occasionally go from zero to 💯 real quick. You're gonna find yourself taking up more and trying to handle more than you probably can tackle. Relax. Breathe! EXHALE. 

Will everything eventually work out for You? I don't know about that but looking at how far you've come, don't you think things will undergo a surprising  positive turnaround?? Just breathe baby. 

You've done your best trying to support your siblings. Pat your back because you are THAT girl! Process hasn't ended yet but you get shit done. Keep doing it. You are doing amazing sweety! 💯✔

Finally,

Don't allow the FOMO let you look down on your progress even for a moment. You are the baddest & your energy,...ooh you boisterous girl, your energy will be matched. The universe has a way of bringing what's yours to your doorstep. 

📣📣 Exhale Baby. You will be fine!

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

With this topic, you know the norm right? I share some quotes I've come across that make some sense to me, well, because not all do. Picture quotes are more interesting to look at and so they'll take most space in this particular post. I will be overjoyed is you left a comment, maybe share one quote that keeps you going? Enjoy!  “It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me." ~Warsan Shire. “Don't assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don't say anything you can't stand behind fully. Have integrity.

The world didn't quite prepare me for the experience that came with this phase of my life. I boast occasionally of how easy it has been for me to grasp and adapt to changes in my life but this one, naah ...I had to readjust, relearn and extensively educate myself. What I'm I talking about, you ask? Motherhood. I am writing this while on my 3rd trimester; 35 weeks & 6 days to be precise. The once subtle baby kicks are now more defined you'd think the baby's made my womb a mixed martial art ring. It feels heavenly every time it happens and I am not joking when I say that I live for them kicks...I could be having a really crappy day but anytime I sit and the kicks intensify, my mood instantly changes!  The reason I started by saying that the world didn't quite prepare me for the journey is because with my many years of schooling and seeking knowledge, I realized that I didn't know much about pregnancy. I was never taught about what to expect in any of the trime...
