Promise and fail ni girl yi sha (this girl doesn’t keep her word)
But the question is Did I promise? Did I give my word that I’ll write to you for the rest of my life? Or only as long as I have something to say?
I know I’m always talking so no one would miss my ‘newsletters’ which barely ever contains any news. Like, my life is boring (who’s with me. Let’s start a band or a forthnight event like an AA meeting and just share our boredom)
As creative as the work I do is, it’s the same old same old. Everyone and every business wants excellently delivered messaging and comms across every platform.
How about you give me some news? Tell me something boring about you that weirdly but beautifully makes you swell with pride and joy.
Tell me something that isn’t either of the following:
I got promoted.
I launched my brand.
I published my book.
I started working out.
I volunteer.
I got a new gig.
I now make XXX amount of money.
I now earn in USD.
I finally japa’d.
I’m now dating. I proposed. I got engaged. Got married. I’m pregnant. I gave birth.
Tell me something that isn’t similar to any of this that you see as news.
While I was writing this, I found my nonissue:
My lipgloss has helped my self-esteem.
What’s yours?
