In T-shirts to Tux , I have traveled to many a place this year.
Akwaaba (Welcome). Not health but healing. not acquaintance but friendship. not rest but progressive exercise. not becoming but being. not ruminating but meditating. not beats but music. We're not yet what we shall be, but we're growing towards it. It's not the end but it is the road.

Can’t wait to start?
For sometime I kept waiting on events to start my life - my happiness. I told myself that “once I am done with medical school” or “once I am in a relationship “ or “once I am finished with training” then everything will be fine. Then it hit me, oh sh#t! This is it - life. I realized that though I am not perfect, yet I had so many blessings and so much to be proud of. I’ve learnt to appreciate life and continue to strive to be more grateful for where I am now. Looking back at weeks, months and even years and accompanying challenges, I am amazed by where I am today.
In the midst of our struggles, we often tend to undermine the importance of our meager maneuvers and how much it helps as learn and grow. I can honestly say that I have grown from the past, grateful for where I am, and excited about where I am headed. I still have big goals and ambitions...and I still fantasize, but that does not diminish each moment leading up to them. Don’t wait on life because it’s not waiting on you. This is it!
