Stop the war!

I have learnt to mind my own business but some happenings just get on my way and am forced to mind them too. So, Russia and Ukraine are in war, at first I was indifferent about it all. Not that I don’t care about humanity but then am like, ‘…can’t the Ukrainian President just surrender because Russia doesn’t look like it will back off anytime soon…’

This war is now getting personal ever since the petroleum prices hiked. A 2l cooking oil bottle that was once not more than R50 has doubled the price. Now everything else is increasing the price and when you are on a salary based income, you are so much in trouble. Its not enough and it will never be enough. You wonder of side hustling and your boss wants all your time to themselves. Yea, you gotta bring results coz they are the ones paying you 😂 the best favour they are doing to you. How ironic?

I have gone back to my New Year’s resolutions to check if I have made any progress and realised out of my 6 first quarter goals, only 2 have been fulfilled. The other 4, they seem like they will take years. I have been frustrated but then consoled myself by saying we still got 9 more months to go. Only what’s needed is to sit down and restrategise. A contigency plan needs to be set before you suffocate. One thing am grateful for is my coping mechanisms have greatly improved over the years so, I face each new day with as much positivity as possible, price hikes or not!
