I wish I had my life back.

I can bet top dollar that I’m not the only one wishing on a star or peeing in a fountain and wishing for my life back.

Scene from the movie ”The change up”

Life has taken a new and unexplainable or unexpected turn for majority of the world. As it stands a percentage of the world is in danger of starvation , the other in danger or contacting and dying from a novel virus and yet another percentage is losing their land to locusts.

It’s almost like the Egyptian plague the Bible speaks of.

Times are scary , I’d be the first to admit that. Every financial professional is steady claiming doom is underway for the world economy and nothing can save youuuuu. I don’t want to believe that but what do I know?

Call me selfish, call me crazy but I just want my life back. What did I do with it when I had it you ask? Well I didn’t live it okay! No need to judge me so harshly.

I spent a great part of my 2020 so far buried in work, every opportunity to hang out with friends, every opportunity to go on dates, every opportunity to just not be home and in my bed turning and tossing I turned down. Now there’s a global pandemic that has every thoughtful nation locking down the system to ensure that the virus does not ravage the nation.

Many would call my country a failed state, heck I might even join in but at least she is making an effort

I just want to be able to make soap because I want to not because I have to , I want to be able to sit my behind at home by choice not by force, I want to be able to go to the movies and just enjoy a movie alone like I used to, I want to be able to hug my friends again, to see them and to tell them I love them to their faces. I want to get dressed and hop on a bus and be on my way to work. I miss my chair in the office, I miss laughing in real life with my colleagues. I miss waiting for the bus . I miss exchanging heated glances with the conductor who just won’t give me my change . I miss going to the ice-cream store. I wish I could go back in time and enjoy these fleeting moments a little more.

I wish I had my life back!

How do I reconcile my faith with my interest in astrology ?

Hello !

I’m so excited that you could join me today after a very long sabbatical from writing.

Life takes unexpected turns and you just have to go along but with strong feet of course!

This is not a welcome back post, more like a welcome back question.

You’ll know about the welcome back post sooner than you expect! I’ll be updating you guys on everything I’ve been up to

I truly appreciate your patience with me ! Gosh darn , you guys are amazing, 123 people came back to check on me since my last post -that’s lot and I appreciate it ❤️

Here goes the question:

I was born into a Roman Catholic family and I grew up in the same faith. Having attended schools and having general exposure to the world and internet, I find that I’m very much interested in knowing about everything under the sun, especially astrology.

My faith warns about getting involved in astrology or “consulting the stars” and I’m not going to lie I already did a little digging before I knew I wasn’t supposed to.

Now that I know I’m not permitted to by my faith how do I reconcile the two because I’m heavily invested in knowledge acquisition and astrology is so darn interesting! (True or not)

Ps I’m a Scorpio according to my findings.

Help a sister!

Love, Chidimma Akubue ❤️
