WHAT LIES AHEAD?

     One question that has been tinkling in my ear like the tick-tock of a clock, I sat down one-day staring at the cloud, I was wondering what journeys are ahead of me.




     I looked at the people around me noticing how their lives have been improving but yet my life seems like a tree without fruit, life seems stuck, I was staring asking my inner retroflections, and kept asking myself, what lies ahead of me? 

    I kept on repeating this question over and over but I was unable to answer.

  As a young man bred in a family of the low class and a country where the future of the youths is not the priority. I signed melancholy, deep in me were many unutterable thoughts yet I had no response to them. I didn't know the next action to take, my fear of failure has been drowning me from taking the next actions.

  I looked into things I can be good at but I couldn't find anything, I sobbed, foreseeing the future ahead of me. I had no one to explain my thoughts to, I kept on fighting my thoughts, not knowing what to do. Poverty is Like a prison I have been running away from. I asked myself again what can I do?

 I challenged my thoughts, it's better to fight than to keep running away, I was propelled to fight my problems alone. I tried to think deeply of things I have passion for and eventually, I was able to figure it out, WRITING. I think writing has always been the easiest task for me.

My mind is filled with a lot of information that needs to be depicted, as a novice, I didn't know how to start, knowingly everything in life has a process to follow but I was lost not knowing where to start from. 

 Many questions kept running in my mind, what will people say about my writing? Will it be accepted? Will it be inspirational? Then I remembered every successful expert was once a beginner like me, why can't I give it a try and see what lies ahead of me?

And I started writing about the situation of things around me, as I kept on writing, I realized my mistakes and where I needed to improve on, then I learned to improve. Through this I knew to improve, we must keep trying.

 




Everyone out there who is chasing a dream or a passion should stick to it. Every successful journey has its hurdles.
