July.

July is a month with four letters, it marks the seventh month in a year and in my country; July is equivalent to the word perfection. Seven means perfection and since July is the seventh month; we do call it the month of perfection.

When the month of June started, I had so many plans, I didn't have a to-do list but I wanted to do alot, especially here on read.cash, actually my plan for June was to write and not miss out on any day.

Also, with the energy and consistency I mustered in learning French on Duolingo in the months before, if anyone had told me I'll slack or relent, i would have said it was completely and totally impossible, but unfortunately; I did slack and I did relent in learning French

As the saying goes:

Action speaks louder than words.

Sometimes we say lots of things and end up not doing anything.

I ended up missing out in publishing and engaging with other users so many times, I'm sure I've lost count of the number of days I failed to publish.

Apart from July; being the seventh month of the running year, July is also:

• My birth month.

• The month my exams would commence.

• The month I'll be signing out from the first phase of my tertiary life.

I was too down and depressed in the month of June, but I want July to also be my month of:

• Happiness and perfection.

• More consistency on this platform...

And so many more...

It's quite strange as to the way the year keeps running off without even taking a glance at us, or seeking our permission as to if we actually want it to move with the pace it's moving.

It's more like yesterday when we all shouted Happy New Year, we were all jumping and jubilating in happiness; for we've seen year 2022.

Today marks the beginning of another month and very soon, tomorrow would be August.

Time isn't waiting at all, I keep looking at my age. This month I'll be adding another year to my age, I find it sad even if I'm happy. But then; sometimes I'll just sit still and wish deeply:

If only I could turn back the hands of time.

Or

If time could just be on standstill for me.

Unfortunately; none of the aforementioned can actually happen. One just need to keep pushing and doing the best one can to be the best version of oneself.

Welcome.

It's July, I'm trying to be positive, I'm trying my best to believe that the second half of this year would smile and giggle with me.

Welcome to the second half of this year, thanks alot for all your love and support so far.

This month would definitely favor us all, both here on read.cash and in all other activities our hands find themselves doing in reality.

Happy New Month!
