What a year it has been!
This year has been one of the best I’ve experienced. It absolutely defined me!
I began the year with so many expectations but after a few months I forgot about them because I felt they would not come true. The one thing I needed desperately was to find the ideal space for an art gallery. I had searched and did not find any good place so I decided to settle for whatever I got. Then today, the last day of 2019, on my way to find an apartment I decided to settle on, I saw a beautiful building and decided to check it out. An hour later in this building and I found the perfect space and location for my art gallery. In a few days, it will be opened for business. Reflecting on this year I realised all my expectations has been met.
This year definitely ends all the things I do not want to stress myself over again; love, money, men, being broke, difficult clients and artists.
In the beginning of the year I decided to try the Daniel fast with some friends. It was painful and I knew I could never be a vegetarian. I avoided my favourites foods; meat, dairy, fish and alcohol especially wine. But the result was amazing, I found a deeper connection with my personal belief in God and eat healthy. But more importantly that meat and wine are delicious.
Oh and I fell in love with this man I know damn well I should not. He was one of the best things to happen to me. He made realise how essential it was to have a partner and someone to have your back always.
Then there was this great opportunity that I got and it turned complicated and and then it into a lawsuit. But I cannot speak on it further.
I made lots of business connections and sold lots of artworks. I partnered with several people who paid for the art exhibitions we organised. My art gallery is in high demand now. I’m getting the recognition I deserve for starting the only art gallery in this country for emerging artists.
More importantly I learnt to move in silence. Celebrate my victories with a few people and sharing good news with only those who need to know.
Too many things happened that I cannot write. My life is still getting defined but this year made it more prominent.
The beginning of this year was difficult and I was failing but it ended it with success. I am glad I lived and survived it
Happy new year and move in silence!
