July, So Soon?
Can you believe we are already halfway through 2025? Six full months have gone by. It feels almost unreal. Not because everything has been smooth, but because somehow, I am still standing. I have been through more than I care to admit. I have felt tired beyond words, wrestled with moments of confusion, and faced struggles I never imagined would come my way. I have built my fake modelling career by taking vintage photos dressed in weird ways, and they almost always come out in perfect forms.
To be honest, even my Spotify Premium has lost its shell over my life. What once brought me joy and comfort now just slowly takes money from my account every month. I barely use it. It feels like a dry land that no longer gives what it used to give. But life moves, and so do I. I am excited to share that I have a new project coming up. It is called This Is Me. It is a post dramatic play that uses the illusion of life to speak about the self as it is seen in life.
Just last weekend, I gave a presentation and I actually did it. It may sound small, but for me, it was a big step. I stood there and delivered. The entire weekend was packed with activity. I was constantly on the move, shuttling between the Accra Marriott Hotel, my place, and the event venue. The gala night was a highlight. Drinks were shared freely and I took a lot of them. I have lost count. For the record, I did not drink alcohol. I never have and I do not intend to. That part of the night was not for me.
I also met a few people I can now call friends. It was refreshing to reconnect. Seasons like that remind me that life always finds a way to bring people together again. I have a full video from the event, capturing everything from the laughter to the rare and the abnormal. It was also my first time at the Marriott, and I must say, the experience made me think about what it means to live well. Comfort, beauty, and calm are things I now look forward to with genuine hope. Being rich and living gracefully is more than a dream. It is something I now allow myself to imagine as possible.
The best part of it all is this: I have completed my debut novel. I have finished writing it. After all the writing blocks, endless edits, and nights I almost gave up, the story is complete. Now I am praying for a publisher who will believe in the vision, who will help me bring this dream into something tangible, something lasting and give hope to everyone who'd touch it.
So here I am. It is still six months and we will continue like nothing before.
It must have been fun!
