LOST
Why is the world leaving me behind? This is the question that I've had on my mind recently.The world seems to be moving so fast these days and I am just lost in the tides. I don't know where to turn, what to venture into or what I am suppose to do with my life. The reality of attaining a new age or the speed of an oncoming new age coupled with the expectations from folks is so crazily overwhelming.
There's no lie when I say that I am sincerely losing my mind and laughing it out, I'm trying to stay composed like a queen. I am tired of answering the "where do you see yourself in the next 5 years" question, because in reality I'm just trying to stay alive till next week! Its not easy trying to get my life together, so asking me about this question is only heaping unnecessary pressure on me.
I know that there are a lot of us sitting pretty on this table, trying to find out who we are and sort out our reason(s) for existence amongst other pressures of life. Here's what I have to say to us; In trying times like this, we just have to remain unmoved, focused and stand strong even in the turbulent tides of life in this world. The truth is that the world will always be in motion. Everything in this beautiful world happens while it's in motion, the world never stops. Not for you, not for me, not for anybody!
Sadly, I think its okay to feel like this; feeling lost when everything gets overwhelming. I know that it sounds weird and not entirely true but more often than not, it is true. It's true because this point is the defining point where we figure out the next stage, either good or bad. I believe that it's just a matter of time before all of us on this table eventually find a root. Finding this root will definitely be a hard task, but when we eventually find it, (because we will) it would be a deep and lasting root.
For now, all we have to do is stay original and sane in this insanely beautiful world.
I am writing to you to tell you that it's okay if you don't have your life figured out yet in your 20s (early or mids.) Even in your 30s(age is just a number) Eventually, you will and you will be glad you waited because patience is a virtue.
This part of the world is tough on us, I get it, but when we stay resilient in the face of adversities and tribulations, we would eventually come out. Maybe with scars, maybe not but we would come out stronger. So, just stand strong, hold on to whatever you believe in and find your roots.
Here is me encouraging you all because I need the same strength to stay sane and alive at the moment. I am on the verge of losing my mind because everything seems static and slow at the moment but I trust that it would turn out great for me and all of us.
I love you and I will be always here rooting for you, just keep holding on.
Very soon we will find our stance.
Love, hugs and light.

So very true.
Nigeria is hard already.
Pressure from folks shouldn't be added.
I believe there's light at the end of the tunnel.
I love you harny.
Thank you for this 💗
