Blame it on the..

 

Hi guys, I’m just going to try and unlook the fact that I’m just posting something here after months of indecision and procrastination…. I’m gradually coming to the sad conclusion that berating myself, indulging in mental whipping sessions and self-flagellation might not be cutting it anymore, and to be honest, it’s not that deep (Even though the past few months have been chock full of things to update which I shall most certainly try to do ..smh)

HOWEVER, I have decided to put this up as a sort of accountability partner to remind myself of a sad fact which I’m coming to realize about myself. (I’m sure y’all know by now that it’s not always positive)

I make bad financial decisions whenever I’ve had some alcohol in me. Especially, when I’m around family and friends and we’re having a good time.

Mahn, I know it’s a universal thing, of course nobody’s ever woken up the next day after a rave of a night and realize that they’ve bought shares in google or something … but damn, I’ve had some back to back weeks of some financial Ls.

I’m sitting here on a Saturday morning recalling the immortal words of Messrs. Fox and Pain in their seminal collab, “blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol” and feeling a tad annoyed with myself. I acknowledge the fact that It’s not been a bad couple of months for us financially. At least we’ve been blessed to be able to afford the necessaries, and even splurge on other things but I’ve got to try and stop spending money on things which I really don’t have to. Especially when it comes to alcohol and clubbing.

To be fair to myself, I think I’m being a bit harsh because on both occasions which have necessitated this write up, I’ve been in very good company with family and friends and we were really having a good time.

However, this is a memo to self: If you don’t have to…then DON’T!!!

That extra bottle of Hennessy is certainly not necessary and sometimes, if your friends aren’t volunteering to pay for drinks, you don’t have to step up (especially when it’s not all that convenient for you too!!). DO BETTER OKEY!

Anyway, enough of the self lashing…I’m just realizing that this is my first post of 2024!!

Wow! Just WOW (side eyes self).. First post of the year and it’s fuelled by hangover blues, negative bank balance and self-flagellating thoughts…well done Okey.

 

Happy new year to you all
