They say life is not a bed of Rose's
So grab every opportunity you come across with every form of seriousness. Sometimes we get to experience life and we wished we had known earlier. I mean, it would have changed something's, if not everything.
I remember back then when I was staying with my parents, I had everything when life became better for them. I had lots of money, but I wasn't working. I didn't steal from anyone. Do you know my parents pays me every month. But yet, I still go to school with an extra snacks money for the day from my dad.
I never knew how lack of money could look like. I felt it will continue. I thought it will never end. I had a target, that I must lavished all the money that month before entering the new month.
What did I used it for? Buy things for my classmates, buy every trending things I could afford.
But mind you, I was never greedy, I was contented with what I had.
I made friends with people who's parents pays them more than what they pay me. People who had real love from extended family.
People whom they just call, just to spoil them with money and other things
Most times, when we go for our girls outing, they'll buy things their money could afford, but my money could not afford.
I never stressed, I never demanded extra money from dad and mom.
No matter my lavished life, I just lived within my pocket.
That's the part that made me so happy.
We fixed Sundays to always be our outing day. A day where we go out chill, pay for games, play games and even have lots of fun. We were never tired. Non of us was working.
We were just secondary babies sha.
Fast forward to the year I gained admission. I was super excited. I thought I'll have the freedom to eat whatever I liked without feeling like anyone is monitoring me.
But few months after resumption, the narrative changed. For the first time I ran out money. Like..."how do i start asking dad for money in the middle of the month.
Though, I learnt my lesson the hard way, but it was already too late and we can not turn back the hand of time.
Maybe if I had saved up, by now, I would have own a well known business.
But I chose to lavished it. Maybe I would never run out of cash again.
I wished I had saved up. Here's my lesson though.
