If there's anything I love so much that's expressing myself to the strongest form,it helps me to get better,it help me to come stronger. So, please I will really need to give a big thanks to for this wonder prompt for this week ladyofhive contest. Hehe ๐, you're amazing.
Dear Future,
At exactly past 6 pm on the 25th day in December 2015, I decided to create you. At that time, I was a struggling young lady learning to understand adulthood. I have walked streets in search of proper housing that is quite affordable these past few weeks and I have found none.
I am in great need of my personal space where I can fully concentrate on my life and career without the inconvenience of my family. They don't believe that pressing my phone keypad and staring into my laptop every day actually pays my bills. To them, I am wasting my time.
Future, do you believe I still struggle to pick nice dresses and shoes for events? My wardrobe is in a poor state. I cancel on some events just because I do not have the right clothes to appear there.
I forgot to add how annoying my period cramps can be and how expensive buying sanitary pads can be. I really think being a girl is so expensive, not just because of the prices of sanitary pads. Wearing Zara makeup products and using Nivea body care products are really way above my league for now, not to mention wigs. I am just an ordinary girl who can only afford a ponytail and cheap body care products.
The interesting part is how people adore me so much even if I don't have everything together. They tell me I am doing so well for my age, and I wonder if this is because I manage a foundation that cannot even pay me a salary. They don't know funding is so difficult for baby NGOs.
It definitely can't be my busy life as a freelance writer that comes with its own challenges. And then there's the headache of love, after getting in and out of five relationships. I think I just want to build my career and focus on my life.
Dear Future, I know that when I see you in five years to come, I must have made an international brand out of my name with thousands of people eating at my table because I pay their wages. I hope to have seen the beauty of South Africa, buy gold from the Dubai gold market, and walk the beaches of Seychelles.
My YouTube channel should have celebrated a million transformed subscribers. Men should sit to hear me speak on both national and international platforms. My stories packaged in books and digital products must have done seven figures.
Financial freedom is great but impact is not just about making money alone. I hope to have help ten thousand young people, gain clarity and learn tech.
I owe myself and my parents great in-laws and a loving husband. How could I forget the most important part of this letter, kids!
I must have become a great mom to the smartest kid on planet earth. All I dream of is to one day become a powerful boss lady, a kingdom-centered woman, an amazing wife, and a great mom.
Oh! I want to be a balanced woman.
These are my dreams packaged in the year 2015 when i was in my early 20's and I'm so glad all is falling in place already due to two powerful keys that hold my life Focus and structure.
Thanks for reading.
