Things I love about May. Apart from the month being my birth month, it holds a special place in my life. Perhaps the others centre around the fact that it is my birth month. There is always something worth loving about every month and below are things I love about the month May : A New year and half a year : I don't know but for me, I celebrate my birthday like I celebrate new year. You know those feelings of renewed hopes New year brings right? I feel them more when it's my birthday. It's something personal actually because everyone's birthday is their official new year so while celebrating with the rest of the world their new year, don't forget to celebrate yours too. You don't have to be loud about it, a simple outing and self spoiling with close friends is way more than enough. Pray for your new age, keep working hard and hope everything turns out well. Apart from it being my personal new year, I also see it as half of a year. If you look at it May is just a month away from the actual half, which it its succeeding month June. While it's my personal new year to hope for better things and keep working hard, it's also half a year where I stop to record my progress and see how far I have come in the new year. I do some self assessment to see what I need to keep doing and things I have to stop doing. You know they the second best time to start something aside the beginning is halfway, this way you're given a 50/50 chance and it's up to you to maximise the opportunity. ***Now isn't it a unique thing for a month to represent a new year for you and at the same time half a year, which we can all agree are special times in a year we can use to plan how to better ourselves? Well not only is that unique but also beautiful!*** The weather : Now haven't I mentioned to you guys that I love the rain? Well here in Nigeria and I think most countries in the northern hemisphere experience a full spring. In northern Nigeria which I live, the rainy season takes its roots in May, which means while there might be some rainfall in April, May is the month when the weather change becomes more pronounced as there is more frequent rainfalls and you know what that means right? More opportunities to get wetter and happier! The vegetation becomes greener and healthier which provides healing to the eyes and the air becomes fresher, improving our well being in general. The sweet thing about the rainfall is that it is not to heavy, not to light but just enough to purify the air and water the lands, unlike the rainfall in succeeding months that are so heavy and cold sometimes that they come with ice, not just light snowflakes but real heavy deeply frozen ice that can cause you a serious headache if it were here to land on your head. The special dates: As an asthmatic myself, it is an honour having World Asthma Day in my birth month. World Asthma day is a day set aside to create awareness about Asthma, how it can be prevented and also how people who have it can cope better and live healthier lives with it. If it wasn't for the strike action, I'd have given a speech as a spokesperson just like I'd last year on issues relating to asthma just like I did last year. Creating awareness about diseases has always been my passion, that's why I joined the society concerned with that in school. **World Laughter day:** Are you surprised? Well don't be as it is quite expected since May is a month full of love and happiness (I sincerely pray it manifest it's true nature on everyone this May 👐😉) and laughter. To think that the day ain't even that far away, makes me more optimistic about this month. The day is on the 3rd of May and just like the day is not far away, I pray that laughter is not far away from you too, not shallow laughter but that which springs from love and happiness! Many more laughter to come guys let's all wait for it!

These are the things I love about May just like there's at least one thing I love about any other month, from January to December. Allow me to wish you a Happy New month filled with renewed hopes, blessings, love and happiness. We all deserve lots and lots of all those and I really wish we get what we deserve sooner. Signing out for now! Thanks for reading and happy new month! Yours Layly, 💖💖💖💖
