Journal Entry 005: Never postpone enjoyment

Things come up, life gets hectic but you still have to go through it and enjoy it in the process.

Basically as soon as I got to Kenya my phone completely shut down, was in a reboot loop and wouldn’t turn on. Luckily this was the only portion of my trip I wasn’t solo and had family. This easily could have cut my trip short. I was planning on heading to Zanzibar next but without a phone, who’s really going anywhere?

Days passed and my phone still wasn’t fixed. It literally came down till the morning of my flight from Nairobi to Zanzibar that I finally had to make a decision.

I still don’t understand the cloud but I decided to trust it and do a full reboot on my phone losing everything that wasn’t saved before it crashed.

I know most people would have just rebooked and took care of their phone at home, but this journey through Africa meant too much to me to turn back early.

(So if you text me and I say who’s this, don’t be mad at me 😅😭)

My point in telling you all of this is like life, travel has sudden challenges and struggles but if you learn to get through them and enjoy yourself in the process it’ll all be worth it.

I also learned I need to be a 2 phone shawty now too but that was just a bonus.
