300

Fam. It is I. I come back. I return. I emerge from my mgowo induced hibernation. I decide to check up on how you, my homies, are doing.

First things first. What came to mind when you read the title? Money? The movie? The fact that we are currently on day 300 of 365? For me it's ALL OF THE ABOVE! My strength, however, only allows me to delve into two.


We've survived 300 days of 2021. Just 65 more days left before we bid this year farewell and begin another cycle. It's been such a ride. The way things have been going this year, especially recently, I feel like I am one of the 300 Spartans. Yes. I do.

I'm at that weird cross road part of the year. When there's so much that still needs to be done. Yet there isn't so much time to do it. My inner soldier is thinking about previous victories and how I've faced similar battles in previous years. The other part of me is just sitting here and thinking how we sometimes undermine the honour of just basking in "things not going as planned". Oh you know. Just like we enjoy sun basking. Only this time, appreciating the different "heat".

Ku rough bantase. If I could, I'd just copy and paste the Things we can't talk about post from last year and just say I'm going through 2.0. This time around, however, life is teaching me that maybe we can talk about things. The timing of it all is just important. Timing and accepting them for what they are instead of what we wish they were. Timing, acceptance and letting go. Letting go of truths that no longer serve us. Timing, acceptance, letting go and embracing uncomfortable uncertainties. Life will always throw in those surprises.

I hope that you are well and that you are being kind to yourselves. I hope that you make the most of the remaining 65 days of 2021.

p.s The #Lettersto2021 series begins on 11 December. Stay tuned 😉
