Being away from the hive blockchain for the past 3 days for like eternity. I cannot remember the last time I did not churn out more than 5 posts in a week. However, this week has proven challenging and I was rudely reminded that I am human too…

Before I go any further I want to thank everyone who commented on my last post. I really appreciate the love and support. As mentioned earlier, last week was quite draining. To be frank, the entire month of September has been very challenging.

Almost every part of my life was tested this month and I was on the verge of losing almost everything. I can't be explicit about everything that has happened this month but I am grateful to have solved some of my challenges.

At some point I wanted everything to go up in smoke. I did not care anymore. This is my reaction to overwhelming challenges, which I will admit isn't quite healthy. If I let go of everything I consider meaningful at the slightest provocation, I will have nothing in the end.

Away from last week's drama, I did have some needed rest this weekend. I want to say a big thank you to @blezyn for coming to spend some time with me. I am my happiest and calmest around her. Even though hosting her was sort of stressful because I had to do a lot of cooking, it was worth it.

Looking forward to an interesting and busy week. There is still a lot on my plate.
, one of them being my father's burial rites. This comes three years after his passing. According to my native customs I am supposed to present some items to my kinsmen to complete my dad's passage in the afterlife.

I do not believe in such things, however, some family members care about it, so I have to appease them and that will come at some cost. Plus, it has become necessary since one of my aunts passed on. She cannot be buried if I do not perform these traditional rites for my father.

It doesn't seem like my responsibilities are becoming any easier to bear. Notwithstanding, I refuse to be pressured into anything. I am just going to take my time and do what I can. I won't let the cares of life drain me any further. 
I am just going to prioritize the things that really matter.

Looking to an eventful week on the hive blockchain. Hoping to churn out more pots this week and engage with as many people as possible. There is a lot of catching up I need to do.

I will end it here guys. Cheer!
