Hey guys! You are welcome to today’s article, I know I usually just dive right in but we are doing it a little different today, a little bit of out of the norm to loosen up all the seriousness you had pent up before now because honestly bro, even if I jumped right in, the earth is still round or flat (whichever suits your fancy), so relax… no, not the heavy sigh, that’s frustration, just get a little cooooozzzzy, much better😉

If you could go on a vacation right now, where would that be and why? I would love to know in the comment section😎 👇🏽

So now that we have a picture in mind, I want to take your mind back to the “Do you have it post?” (click on this link if you did not, https://graceolabanjii.wordpress.com/2021/05/09/do-you-have-it/ )

You thought I was going to enable your fantasies, sorry dear, not today.

I know we all have this grand picture of how vacations should look like, maybe sitting by the beach on a private island with the love of your life, staring into nothing, piña colada, Burna’s tunes filling the background, and just vibes, or touring the world with your best friend, and anything else you can think of.

These all sound really nice but this is also a reminder that you have to work for it. I believe in humble beginnings, we are getting the right attitude are we not?

So if Dubai for me is a Chicken republic burger at a deserted bus stop just staring into headlights, then let me have it please. Stop with the standards, I do not have the see the world when I have not even entirely toured my city.

Vacation is taking time off work/ daily routine to spend your money and time on luxury you have worked for and can afford (they usually forget to add that in the definition), if you are still trying to get your head above water, sit your ass down and don’t tell me about YOLO stuff.

You see there is no meaning to anything unless the meaning we give to it. The feeling you might get when you go to Miami might be equal if not proportionate to what someone else gets when they finally find the flavor of ice cream that does it for them at the shopping mall just by the roadside.

We all want to enjoy life, living it on our own terms and having everything we need and want. But the resources are not evenly distributed, and it never will be, so enjoy your time here as much as you can, with what you have right now. 

I am not a fan of designers, and it usually cracks me up when i see someone wearing Addide instead of Addidas, but then, I am sure they wanted to have a feel of wearing a designer too. You actually don’t have to wear a Prada, you just need to cover your body, so if the jaguar logo on your Puma has horns and Gurara falls is closer to you than Dubai, then by all means, have it.

Just stop with the standards, it’s getting worse these days because of social media, but one thing you should always know is that, happiness is a state of mind, it is not an external factor.

Thank you for reading🥰, I hope you learned something, don’t forget to like, share and comment.
