Dreams, Ambitions and Life

My first career choice was "Doctor".. as I grew older it started to evolve. Grandma says I once said Police woman (I really don't know what that was about because ilya uniform hmmm), in about Grade 6 it was "Sister-Professor" (you're probably wondering what career is LOL I wanted to be a Nun and Professor at the same time! 
I got into high school and I settled for Law, I wanted to be a lawyer and my mother was rooting for me.. she even used to call me "State counsel", on the other side of the camp my grandparents thought because I talk a lot my best bet was KU BROADCASTING (Journalism). Fast forward to post high school, I did go to Journalism school, gosh I hated it. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with it, I actually admire journalists. They are confident, well put together and read really well (this kinda describes me) lol but yeah neh, it wasn't for me. So I looked for something I thought fit and that's how I got into PR... 
I had never thought of PR ever but the more I dive in, it's soooo me. From the corporate communications side to event planning. 
I have moments where I sit and imagine how life would have been had I gone to Law school, nga kwali fye "your honour nalamuma uyu" 😂😂. So I think I'm okay where I am... 
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to MC my first ever gig.. I never knew what to do and in true Nicoletta fashion, I never planned I just decided to wing it.. for someone who is into event planning, I suck at it. I just dive in (with order and structure of course). This gig opened my eyes and mind wider to where I want to go in my career life, which of my dreams align but not neglecting that in all this life is bound to happen.. 
Dreams and ambitions are yours to love, to pursue, to run with. Life is kinda sorta yours but it's also unpredictable.. the perfect example I have and many other girls share is the typical "I'd have graduated, gotten a good job, car and been married by 25 (let's laugh together 😂😂😂).. I'm turning 27, I do have a decent job, still trying to save up for a car, graduating next year, marriage looks real not so good at the moment 😂💀, a boyfriend maybe but a husband?? Yoh that's too farfetched apa.. 
All I'm saying is, we often plan, do up our vision boards, try to put in our all into our dreams and ambitions and most times we go in full swing, manifesting, praying and all that jazz. But no-one or anything will ever prepare you for life's blows. 
But when they come, embrace the season, realign, rebuild and go again!! 

Thank you for reading ❤️

Lots of love 💕

A lot can happen in a year

 Okay it hasn't been a year since my last blog post (10 months)... but you get the point. Let's start by celebrating the fact that I broke up with my crutches and bionic knee brace, the good sis is back on 2s, just not with Megan Thee Stallion knees (there goes my video vixen career dream) lol. But truly, it still shocks me because it felt like a never-ending nightmare but God and the world's best orthopedic doctors came through.. Then I won a competition for a project I shelved years ago lol. Imposter syndrome will be the death of me.. I have a passion project I've been sitting on for years because I'm so afraid to fail, but my support system pushed me to pitch and I came out second and won funding for my project. While on this, let's just unpack how when you're supposed to do something it'll haunt you till you do it, like eh?? It'll pop up in dreams, your social media will be showing subs on it lol napapata give me chance to wallow or avoid working

What are you telling yourself?

 I can't do this, I can't do that, I am not so smart... I have had moments in my life where I uttered such words, maybe because I was nervous or because I didn't want to oversell myself, so I spoke words that I felt put me in a safer spot.  The past couple of weeks have been a rollercoaster, from work life to social life. You know how they say when it rains it pours? that's been my life, working long hours, being overstretched, having no room to think, breathe, or even process, just from meeting to meeting, email to email, being scolded for mistakes made in the middle of burnout, YANGU TATA LESA, I am just one person. So in the habit of being a frustrated millennial, I started to complain. I can't do this anymore, I am tired (this is true), I am failing, maybe I wasn't built for this and so much more.. This has been my location mentally, I was just filling myself with negativity and telling myself how I am not good enough for my job, or for the opportunities com

Take me back to 5!

 Growing up my dreams were simple, I wanted to be a princess. How hard could it possibly be? All I have to do is wear cute ballroom dresses, live in a castle, smile and greet people and occasionally ride horses. That to me seems like a simple life.  Fast forward to today and in reality, I am 20-something working an actual 9 to 5, while trying to get a degree which in all honesty is giving me so much grief (like why can't you just be as easy as 123) and somewhere in all this, I am expected to live a decent social life and possibly have a stable relationship. In this same one life???? That is not what 5-year-old me thought, because as far as I know, the Prince was bound to find me in a castle. But alas, I do not live in one. This could probably be the reason I am single, instead of being in a castle in some faraway land, I am in Lusaka lol. At 5, my dreams were cute and pure, and life also seemed so much simpler and cooler as from my little girl eyes, iyee imwe kali ka book kama lies
