Good day to you amazing people of Hive-Ghana. My name is @Youngezeblinzz, and I must say that I'm very delighted to have you here. How are you doing today? I hope you are having a great time.
Life has always been a continuous process, starting from a young age upward, and each and every one of us has an unforgettable story to tell about how everything began.

Looking back at my childhood stage, I can tell that some of my closest friends then are now very distant from me totally, just like strangers. Not that I can’t remember them as my childhood friends, but I see it as the way life transforms everyone and also pushes so many things to change in different ways.
Growing from the stage of childhood to adulthood involves several processes, which make the journey somehow tough and a bit confusing because a lot of new experiences run into your way, and at the same period, you will begin to get curious about where you are heading to. Those experiences were never an easy journey for me during my time. I usually thought that everyone in my life would remain forever, and the same applied to my friends. I never knew I was wrong until adulthood opened my eyes, and I was able to realize that in this world of ours, nothing lasts forever.
One exciting thing concerning the childhood stage is that nothing bothered me much. The experiences were quite good and fun. Thinking about the great times I spent with my close friends, that playground where we turned things upside down, and as of then, we had free time to visit ourselves. Those exciting moments of happiness and peace of mind are very difficult to forget.
One of the funniest experiences I had then was that, as a child, we usually had misunderstandings most times, and sometimes it could go to the extent of engaging in a fight. But at the end of everything, we still came back to play again.
Most times, my parents wondered and often got confused because, after being involved in a fight not long ago, within a short time they would find me playing together again with my friends. Due to our own way of reasoning, my friends and I had good occupations we would like to have in future once we had grown up, but we never had the mindset that life also has its own way of changing things. As we continued growing into adulthood, we were transformed in different dimensions, and a lot of changes occurred.
Based on how each and every one of us set our goals, I personally travelled out of state to continue pursuing mine, and many of my friends did the same, while others remained but kept working and chasing their dreams and goals.
As a grown-up person now, I don’t think it is necessary for me to wait for advice from someone or for anyone to remind me how to face my goals and keep striving for them. Unlike childhood, when a child is begged to eat his or her meals, as a mature individual, it is well known that if you don't struggle and hustle in order to make it in life, your own self will remind you that your time is waiting.
My outgrowing process made me understand that life’s journey is filled with struggles, obstacles, and different kinds of challenges, and most importantly, it is a journey that everyone embarks on and has nothing to do with a different person getting it done for another.
Experience is said to be the best teacher. I can recall those days when I was spending time with my childhood friends; we observed some people around us who had become successful and others who were still struggling. But now, based on my personal life experience, I can tell that it is about who works smarter.
One popular saying goes, “Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop,” and that is one of the major problems causing some hardworking people to have setbacks.
I have seen many people who work hard, but some unnecessary things take their hard-earned money into unknown destinations. Sometimes it is caused by misinformation. Hard work is very important, but it becomes more balanced the very moment you stand your ground and face reality.
