"You May Be Doing Better Than You Think"💯🤝

Let me tell you a story. Back in my school days, there were moments when I secretly wished I could be like some of my course mates. 🙅

You know, those people who seemed to have everything going for them. They always had the latest clothes, fancy bags, trendy shoes, perfect hairstyles….hey, just name it.
From the outside, it looked like they were living their best life.

I found myself praying hard to one day be like them and have what they had. I thought those things would make me happier. But back then, I was so focused on what I didn’t have that I ALMOST forgot the bigger picture.😌😞

Sure, I felt some level of contentment with what I did have, but it wasn’t enough for me to stop comparing myself to others. Little did I know, the reality for some of those people was not what it seemed. Life was more complicated behind their smiles and the things they showed off.

As funny as this sounds, I got to find out that one, instead of paying her tuition fees, would rather spend it on clothes, shoes and all that.

That experience taught me a big lesson: What you see on the outside isn’t always the full story. Sometimes, you’re doing way better than those you’re busy envying.

So, why waste your joy wishing for someone else’s life?

It’s okay to admire others, but don’t let that admiration turn into envy. Appreciate your journey.

Be content with where you are and what you have.

Trust me, contentment brings a peace that no bag, shoe, or hairstyle can replace.

Remember, true happiness isn’t about having more things; it’s about appreciating the little you already have.

“HAPPINESS IS FREE" 😁😃

I finished college 2014. The zeal to further my education became strong (the spirit was willing but the pocket digodi very weak), I've always had passion for education. Sadly, I spent two years at home.

2016, I wrote my first jamb exam and scored an aggregate of 245. Of course I smashed my utme questions and luckily for me was able secure admission into MOUAU. Yes, I was to study accounting; I've always wanted to be an accountant.

Days turned into weeks, at this point all I needed was to pay my acceptance fees and some other fees. I was so excited, my joy knew no bounds as I began to envisage my life as an undergraduate and soon to be 'ACCOUNTANT'😊.
The D' day arrived, with my hopes high, enthusiastically waiting to receive some funds from my parents so I can make the payment but to my utmost dismay I was disappointed.🥺

The money that was meant for me to pay for the acceptance fee was used to offset my Sister's medical bills. Saddened by the situation at hand, I did what I know best; I had to let the tears flow. It seemed like my dreams had come to a halt; my life shattered and my world pulverized. In spite of all these, I didn't lose hope.

The best I could do at the moment was to distance myself from my team(people that I wrote jamb and post utme with that later got admission). Even Though I was genuinely happy for them but I simply do not want them to constantly rub it(admission) on my face. I do not want them to remind me of my pains.🥺

Years later, I wrote another jamb after I was done with my skill acquisition program. Luckily, I secured admission into the prestigious school ABIA STATE UNIVERSITY, UTURU to study mass communication.

2023 would have been my year of graduation but Covid-19 disrupt the plan. Alas! 2024, I dropped the pen 🖊️. I'm glad things happened the way it did.

The sky is just my starting point. 🙌
There's definitely light at the end of the tunnel❤️
Delay is not DENIAL💯
Though it may TARRY, but it will surely come to pass🙏

Las las, Na who give up, Fu¢k up🥳.
