Monday Blues

It's Monday, I am tired, grouchy and still sleepy yet on my way to work.

I don't know why but I feel so alone today. You see I'm Nigerian but have lived in England for sometime now. My parents and siblings all still reside in Nigeria. I am sort of used to be being far away from them but there are days I wish I could just walk to my mum and tell her all that's bothering me and get the usual reassurance that everything will be alright.

I have been really unhappy for some time now but in reality I shouldn't be. A lot has happened that I should be thankful for.

The Good

1. My brother finally got a job.

2. I am dating a new guy who I love so much and sometimes I feel like this will be my undoing.

3.My mum is moving up at work

4. I am doing really well at work, getting nominated for awards and getting special recognition.

5. I am healthy and alive.

6. Every member of my family is healthy and alive.

7. I still have a job LOL.

The Bad

1. My dad was suddenly retired from work. He's been really unhappy and I worry every day about his state of mind.

2. I broke up with my boyfriend of nearly a decade.

3. I am in a long distance relationship :(

Sigh!!! I have so much to be thankful for, I don't know what my problem is o.
