My Naija people!! How una dey!
At times I just keep wondering how we just have to live our lives. If we were asked to make a choice of what we want our lives to look like then I believe the world might not just be as it is right now. But our unknown fate is what makes the world look so interesting and peaceful.
There are times of joy and times of pain, there comes times of happiness and times of sadness, in this same existence we get to experience favourable moments and disappointing moments. At times we feel like we are graced and there are times we get disgraced. All of these are just a part of life.
To me, I see life as a place where we are just here to stay temporarily. No matter what, when we look back to our past we realize there is nothing worth envying or getting jealous about in this life. The competition and all sorts of imbalance we put into our lives are not really worth it.
I wish I could live a life where I can impact people’s lives positively, make people happy from my unexpected support, get people up and just keep on impacting lives. That's one of my biggest dreams. I know I can't do it all but I hope someday my dreams will come to pass.
It is said that there is something called Karma. Some believe in it while some don’t. I feel all of these are just the multidimensional way of life. A 9 to you might be a 6 to someone else. Such is life.
One embarrassing moment I couldn’t forget in my life was a time while I was still in the institution. And Nigerians could relate to how stressful it could be at times especially when you are in an overcrowded department and a crowded federal university. You just have to keep surviving.
At times when we have to attend lectures you will rish and struggle to get inside the bus and also when going home you will also have to do the same. If not you might have to sleep overnight in the school premises. At some point I thought about some days when I would even finish schooling and be free from all these stresses.
So that day I struggled to get into the bus leaving my friends behind me. They were unable to get in that same bus I entered. I was happy to get in but I couldn’t even get back down to try again because of them. Then we waved goodbye till the next day.
The bus already left and I almost got to the bus stop where I would be dropping for my hostel. Then it was time to pay the driver, that was when I remembered that my friends were the one to pay my transportation fare. I paid for them in the morning, because the driver doesn’t have our complete balance.
My heart started beating so fast, I knew I messed myself up for not getting in the same bus with them, at that instant I started sweating and thinking of what to tell the driver. I had to drop in the last bus stop to at least avoid much disgrace from my fellow students. But I was still searching my back like I had some money there and I couldn’t find it.
We got to the last bus stop, then I dropped. Thinking of how to narrate my story to the driver. I didn't have any money left, then all of a sudden a lady from behind paid for me and smiled. I was surprised. Seem she had noticed my actions and reactions. I felt ashamed of myself, but I was happy to escape the huge disgraceful moment I might have encountered with the driver.
I hope someday somehow I can also keep to doing this kind act and spreading kindness to everyone.
