ULOG #1 - Of life, rest and loved ones

When storms of life seem to come at you unceasingly, wallowing in its ability to swallow you up, I'm thankful that I have the ones who matter to fall back on, knowing that they'll have my back.

In this day and age, it's easy to be swept away by the waves of uncertainty and fear. Needs are real, we're constantly hounded by monthly bills, deadlines, expectations, and many more. It's overwhelming. Life is overwhelming. Some days are overwhelmingly exhausting, some days can be filled with overwhelming joy and happiness. Whatever it is, and whichever it is for you today, I pray that you'll sail through.

Last Saturday was one of those days that I felt I could breathe. Like, breathe deeply. Maybe because I was in a park, or maybe it was just because I was in a crowded place filled with strangers, a place where I was left alone to breathe without being watched or judged or called a million times. It was an impromptu family outing with some friends and their little ones, and it was a pleasant one.

We took the train to the nearby city center where there's a park with a music water fountain show at designated times. The little girl was especially excited since it has been some time since her last ride.

And my boy and I were snuggled cosily as he curiously stretch his neck out like a little tortoise from the carrier, looking around and being fascinated by the sights and sound. It wasn't a crowded time, so everybody got to sit comfortably.

I'm grateful for friends who have no qualms and are just comfortable being real. As we grow, our circle would shrink, well, at least that's the case for me, and I'm grateful for people who decide to stay and be a part of my life.

I'm thankful for family and friends who I don't need to constantly feel like I have to please them and make them feel good just so I could be a friend and earn another sentence or a conversation. I am at the point where I am utterly fed up with people who are consciously or subconsciously making people work to earn their attention and friendship.

Relationship will be an uphill battle when we are made to constantly walk on eggshells.

Okay, that may sound like I am going into rage mode, lol! I shall tame my lion and continue being thankful 😂

Today is just one of those days after what seemed like nights of sleeplessness and overwhelming baby actions and lack of adult conversations, so I apologise if this first Ulog doesn't sound as upbeat as my usual posts. 😅

To the love of my life, @ebenezerzs, thank you for being who you are, stable, strong, patient, understanding. Thank you for being strong for me when I am failing miles behind, I aspire to be strong for you and with you in this thing we call life, and I am forever grateful to do life with you.

Here are some fun times with the little ones. Lots of laughter, screaming and running around! 😄

Here's my beautiful friend, she's now pregnant with her second baby and I'm happy that we'll have little ones who are of the same age to grow up and play with! 😂

It was a pleasant day, and I'm already looking forward to more pleasant times spent together with loved ones. Quality time is a love language of mine, and I'm going to be smothered this weekend with my parents and siblings around for my sister's wedding! 😂😍

❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for reading my first Ulog, hope it did some justice 😂 Stay tuned for my next Ulog soon. Sending you lots of love and prayers at wherever you are. When you feel down and out, remember that there are people who love you and genuinely care for you. Put your focus on them, because they are the ones who truly matter. 😘

Also, us mamas in @steemitmamas are in the midst of a "Catch and Kiss" game where the first to catch a mama on her highlighted post gets to rained on with kisses for her next post.
