There's something my mum always do that I have noticed. She knows she does it a lot so she never argue when someone points it out to her over and over. Too bad, as her first daughter who is almost a photocopy of her, I inherited this habit of hers. It's not totally bad but I wish we could be less of that and more of other better habits.
What habit is that?
Buying things, going places or doing a lot of work... But with words or in our head (we're good at doing that a lot).
Did you see procrastination and negligence in that habit? Yes, I do too but you know what's good about it? Is the fact that we know just exactly what we need to do so we will definitely do it someday 😂
How does this relate to the topic from HL?

If you're one who takes new year to be a day for visitation, gather here! I'm one of them and for the past years where we cross over to new years... I always have somewhere to go to and I never leave there empty stomach. I still remember last year when I visited about five places but couldn't eat in the last three places after all the mouth making I did.
So for this year, you can easily guess that I'll visit a lot of places considering the fact that I haven't been around since thanks to being at school. Yes, I planned to visit about three places and I did (I'm serious, I did).
I woke up early for church service, had fun there with the others because of a love feast they organized, we ate and drank, took lots of pictures and we all went to our various houses. And then, I decided in my heart that I want to visit three places before the day ends.
By the time of deciding that, it was evening already 😂
Since I was still dressed in my new year outfit and looking like a lady that anyone would welcome to their homes, I visited my aunt who was preparing yam and goat peppersoup when I got there. She was turning the food as if her life depended on it, it's her favourite New year meal so I wasn't surprised. Just as I was about having a taste of the food, I woke up and felt a strong ache in my heard so I slept back again.
Then I visited a long time friend who has been expecting to see me since I came back from school. We had a good time catching up on lost times, laughing and eating as we like but not without my touch troubles here and there. Just as he was about taking me out for round two, I woke up again and took a break with the food at home.
After eating, I slept off again but this time, I went to see my second daddy whom I was sure would spoil me with so much food if I visit and he didn't disappoint, we laughed, ate a lot, played games and he suggested we go visit some of his friends together which I was more excited about but was so sure I wouldn't be able to eat again.
And then I woke up again, ate our sweet stew and rice at home then took lots of drink.
And night came... I realized I didn't visit anybody
I visited a lot of places in my head, I even imagined how their food will taste while I viewed some on my WhatsApp status that some nice meals were going down that day. I kept wishing I could go visit them and I did but in my head 🥲
So aside that, my day was almost normal like other days. The only difference was that, I ate a lot, drank a lot and slept a lot that day. Boring, you might say but I loved it!
What about you? How many places did you visit like me?
