The Breakdown.

Before I start, this breakdown isn’t that type they do in a song that they will just say “breakdown” and do a madness with the instruments. Well, now that I think of it, it probably is similar in a way because omo, the instruments in my mind were doing a madness but this time around they just shutdown.

I know I know, I owe you guys “The Bestie Pandemic 2" but I’ll be recording a podcast with Slimzy Jackson soon so I don’t think there’s any need to write on it yet, unless we’re unable to exhaust all we have to talk about then I’ll do another sequel for you.

So, as we speak, or as you’re reading this, I’m recovering from “the breakdown". Two weekends ago, I broke down on Saturday 😅. I actually didn’t see it coming. I’d been so stressed out physically and mentally and I promise you I’ve been trying to rest, you can ask Sharon Whyte she’ll tell you. I guess the rest wasn’t enough afterall because you know how you watch your laptop or phones shutdown slowly sometimes, shutting down all the apps one by one, that was how it happened. The fact that Sharon and I had a fight a day before didn’t help either, I think it kinda served as a catalyst. Yes, we do usually fight sometimes and I put this here for all those people that think you and your partner will never have any disagreements, it’s inevitable. Anyway, by Saturday evening, I had shut down completely. My mind was not right or even motivated for anything. I woke up on Sunday and decided to follow the bus to church because our car been get issues. I stood at that spot for about an hour waiting for the bus and my frustrations just increased. You know how when your mind isn’t right, like you’re angry or tired or frustrated, little little things just get to you? That was what was happening to me that day. I was pissed.

So the bus later came and if you know me you know I usually shoot in church(Pictures, because the feds might be watching 😂). So when I got to church I was smiling and saying hi to everyone but inside I just wanted to run home. I tried to shoot pictures for a few minutes but if you saw me, you could tell something was up. Saylem even asked if I had a gig the previous day because I looked like I hadn’t slept yet.

Thankfully, someone came to my rescue because they needed me to do something else on my laptop. I initially had the plan to finish the task and get back to shooting but once I sat there, I couldn’t stand up again.

Now here’s my favourite part. Remember I told you guys Sharon and I had a fight on Friday? That Sunday she supported me through that entire thing. She patiently spoke to me and took care of me everyway she could and when I was feeling better on Monday, we had a conversation about the fight we had. Apologies here and there and we made up. Sigh, find good woman sha.

Anyways, I wrote this to tell you why I didn’t write last week. I’m recovering from a serious burnout and I’m taking it slow and steady, one day at a time. My mind is waking back up little by little and I’ll be back soon.

Lastly, my single drops on the 23rd of this month.

That’s all.

Toodles! ❤️
