Life in Progress | April 2026

Things I am actively trying to do, big and small, in no particular order:

  1. Learning how to curl my hair
  2. How to do my make-up well, and consistently
  3. How not to make the world a worse place
  4. How to make the world a better place?
  5. How to complete this art degree
  6. How to find a job/how to make money/how to support myself/how to stop my partner drowning in financial responsibility
  7. How to show my partner all the love in my heart (shut up, I know it’s corny, I don’t care!)
  8. How to be an artist
  9. How to “find myself” (yes, it’s cliché, but it’s also a struggle. It makes the list)
  10. How to write again
  11. How to finish this damn novel
  12. How to get people to read my work
  13. How to get people to *engage* with my work
  14. How to make an impact
  15. How to live a good life
  16. (Re)learn French
  17. Learn Igbo
  18. How to figure out what that means and juggle it all and not crumble under the pressure

Wish me luck?
