Suddenly, its N O V E M B E R... That high-energy, clueless person is now running on fumes.
You make that quick stop for tea or a street-side tumbuwa (snack/drink), rush through the traffic or take the fastest route on the footpath to get to school/work. You come home late, too tired to do anything but eat, scroll on your phone, and finally pass out.
Then you wake up, and the cycle begins again. The day-to-day routine is real.
When the weekend finally hits, maybe you push yourself to meet up with friends/ family for nshima or a chat, or perhaps you're just too exhausted to move. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you:
How did the 2025 pass by so quickly?
You don't even feel like the person you are now. You still carry the spirit of that person who thought they had all the time in the world, full of hope and "when I grow up, I will..." mindset.
But somehow, those energetic days just disappeared. And you start to miss the past —the feeling of being you, excited and blissfully clueless.
But here’s the important truth: one day, you’ll miss this too. You'll miss being in the thick of it, being confused, being tired, but still getting up every morning and trying. You'll miss the hustle that got you here. TODAY, NOW...
So, this November, let's take a deep breath. Slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory. We often say "Patience moves mountains"... It's about finding the rhythm in the journey, not just rushing to the destination.
The point is, no matter what stage of life you're in, you’ll look back and miss these days. Life can get busy, but it’s always a good time to stop and enjoy the moment, to appreciate the small victories and the simple, quiet moments that truly make up your life. Let’s live now, in N O V E M B E R.
