Your Name

I found it very unique when we first met. That was the first time I've seen that name - Aize. Several friends have misspelled it. I don't know anyone else with the same name. And have only ever seen similar names online. 

And after almost 14 years of being together - I'm still not sure how that name came about from your full name.

Aize has an effortlessly modern ring to it. It feels like a name made for someone who’s a little mysterious, maybe a little weird, and does someone who does not 'go with the flow'. 

Did you know that in some Nigerian languages, Aize can be a short form or variant of longer traditional names like Aizehi - meaning Let it be God’s will (according to chatGPT lol). I will rarely ever call you with your name, but it will always hold a special meaning in my heart.

I know today is probably a forgettable day. But Happy Birthday hun! We'll get there!

Chaos in Thought

Yesterday and now.

Also known as the two best times to ever do anything.

There is hope that today is the start of that elusive jogging habit. Start slow, tempered expectations, achievable goals. Less thinking, more doing.

I know re-reading these has been a cringe-inducing experience, but I feel like I would appreciate it when I am much older.

Practice for the birthday post!
