Things to do before 2020

2020 is just a few days away and many of us are already there (people like me). There are however some very important things we need to do before 2020 begins to ensure that we start the new year the best way possible:
1.) Declutter:
I can imagine many of you have so many clothes, looking for what to wear is a day's job. Some of us(I'm some of us, some of us is me) would have to sit on our boxes in order to close them up, if we were to pack all of our clothes in the biggest box we have. Old clothes and shoes definitely have to go, so as to make space for new ones. The items that are still in good condition, could be handed over to younger siblings, neighbors and most especially, the less privileged.

2.) Give toxic friends a goodbye kiss:
Ever heard the song 'bad energy stay far away'?, that must be your mantra. The kiss part is figurative dears(I know some of you have already puckered up😹) but you really should send toxic friends packing. The sad part about toxic friendship is that the spectrum is so wide, no one definition can really be all encompassing. Friends that make you sad more times than they make you happy, the ones that only remember you when their bellies are as dry as the Sahara, the ones who always seem to lose your number only when they need to contact you about a good opportunity, those are the people you should start giving less access to your life.

3.) Map out strategies:
You know how superheroes plan how to defeat villians before attacking, however impossible those ideas are in reality?, that's what you should do (minus the impossible part). For those of you who want to buy benz in 2020, the latest iPhone and many other things, bring out the boards, put on the light in that brain of yours and think. Dream big but plan realistically.

4.) Unbox yourself:
You know how you like sleeping all day, watching TV and making interrupted eye contact with your phone all day?(this is my table, I'm sitting so comfortably on it that it might actually break). Well, that has really got to stop today! It's time you tried those things you've always wanted to do (PG things my people😉). If you're the type that's one with your couch at home, get a break up. If you're a bundle of anxiety like me, start doing those little things anxiety has long denied you of. Just get out of the box!

5.) Leave the cruise ship:
A friend of mine was with this guy for months, they kept calling each other almost hourly, telling each other they were in love and they even went as far as changing each other's wallpapers to the other person's picture. She later asked him where their relationship was headed and the dude was dumbfounded. He asked her if they were even in a relationship to begin with.

This story is as old as the information that i am short. Many ladies also have the seemingly innate ability to assign the role of 'bestie' to guys who actually want much more. Many of us have been in situationships (I know I have). There is no problem with being in a situationship, provided that it's what you want. If you want a relationship however, you should make that clear. Do not turn your page to Genesis while the other person's is in revelation. Come 2020, no one is using us to catch cruise!!!

If the ijebu in me was much stronger, i really would just wave a hand and make your 2020 awesome without any work. Sadly, it is not, so this article will just have to do.
