2023

The year of the Rabbit

This letter was supposed to go out yesterday but sleep pulled a fast one on me and well, here I am.

Let me start by wishing you a happy new year. Welcome to my year. My year of what? No idea, but welcome to my year.

Before I talk about all the numerous things on my mind as regards this year. Let me quickly explain why the people of China claim this is the year of the rabbit.

A rabbit is delicate, calm, docile, tender, and kind but also runs rapidly and is highly clever. This suggests that the rabbit not only has numerous thoughts but is also adept at adjusting to its surroundings and can move fast, enabling it to defend itself in dangerous situations or when the environment is unfavourable.

So the Chinese people believe 2023 will generally be softer than 2022 which was supposedly the year of the tiger.

Enough with the Chinese talk, I wrote an extensive list of things I hope to accomplish and whew.

I realised the whole “Na this year I go hot thing” might just be a fallacy. This year looks like the year I will be buried in books and a lot of learning stuff.

I can actually see some people shaking their heads and saying, “how different is this from your other 20-something years on earth?” But, It is what it is.

Like my Boss, Dave from Keeping Up with Dave said, this year I will bask in my accomplishments and own my successes. I will accept compliments heartily and if those dishing out the compliments don’t mean it, That’s their cup of tea (hot or cold; however they prefer).

Ah yes, I will be doing tons of writing this year. I intend to keep a journal and write epistles for every friend on their birthdays. I know for sure that my friends go read tire this 2023. This means these letters will be more frequent and as time goes on, I hope you see and acknowledge the improvement in my writing.

On a final and funny note, I want to start working out the year. The only problem here is I only want to work out for fifteen minutes, once a week. There is nothing that is impossible under the sun.

Now not to bore you with the long list of things I hope to get done. Remember that the new year is only a fresh start if you decide to take new actions. In other words, those resolutions you have made will not work if you don’t make them work.

Meanwhile, the folks in church decided to “pepper” the single people yesterday. They legit turned the first service of the year into an affection-showing ceremony. But it’s all good, time shall tell. I sneaked this here to remind my fellow singletons that they have started this year. Apparently, Ndị na-alụbeghị di ma ọ bụ nwunye enweghị ike ịṅụ mmiri ma debe iko. (loosely translates to “single people can not drink water and drop cup”).

Before I say goodbye, I hope this year is delicate for you just like the rabbit and I hope it brings out your potential to prove yourself. I hope this year is kind to you and I hope you achieve all you hope to achieve. I hope this year is that year.

If you enjoyed this subtle rant, please share.

Alright then.

Talk to you soon,

Heych.
