At It Again
I returned to school today after a splendid holiday, a whole one month of holiday, it was a good time, at least I rested. Every other thing went very well, but one thing was missing out; my brother didn't come home from his school for the holiday, holidays are always bored for me if he is not around. I slept a lot during the holiday because of boredom, but I was happy that lots of stress had been taken off me for a while.
Barely a day since I got back to school, I have gone to the market to buy foodstuffs and prepare myself a pot of soup, something I didn't do for the past one month, my mother and sisters always had that aspect covered. It looks a bit stressful, shows how much of a comfort a home is. Mistakenly poured hot water on my fingers, it still hurts till now, something that my mum will deep her hands in a boiling water of 100°C and will feel no pain.
There hasn't been any power supply since I got back, the reason is that someone went to the power substation to steal in the midnight, the person got electrocuted to death in the process, since then, there hasn't been power supply and it's five days now since the incident occurred. I now have to pay to charge my phone and power bank, something that a generator would have been powered on if it was home. Well, I will adapt, I have no other choice, do I?
Reflecting on the past one month at home and a day at school, it can be said that home is the better side, true, but it also has grieved consequences. I thought about it too; too much comfort will lead to failure, we need environments far from home, to help build and shape us into strong individuals with great mindset. We will never know what the outside world looks like if we remain at home, so you see we also need the tough side too.
So for me, I just see my time in school and the stress and difficulty that comes with it as a kind of training, and when I'm beginning to wear out, I run back home for comfort and come back stronger. The two sides are very important and we all need them if we are gonna build ourselves into great individuals. It's that time again where I do everything for myself without help, till it's holiday again. Life must continue, it must.
