If you notice the pinned post on my blog was my last birthday message telling my next birthday what exactly I wish to achieve. I pinned it on my blog and In my heart so that every day I come to hive I am reminded of what it is I'm doing here, and what I plan to achieve in the coming month. Although it's less than 5 months to my birthday, I can't say I am where I wished I would be when I was writing that post. However, this is me telling myself to cheer up and make the most out of everything that comes My way. The journey of life and journey to the top is not easy, I'm climbing every step with precision and precaution so I don't make more mistakes.

I'm curious and at the same time scared, not knowing where the wheel of time would have taken me by the time I'm turning +1. Right now I'm faced with a lot of uncertainties that I wouldn't talk about if you were to meet me one-on-one, but I just write them here as it's the only place I get to express myself as I am. This is not me feeling pity for myself, it's just me being human. And I think part of what makes us human is how uncertain we are about taking big bold steps that would alter the direction of our lives. These steps require sacrifice, one which a lot of people with different dreams, goals, and aspirations will never understand. So when I say I'm uncertain, it's because I'm taking a bold step.

I'm tired of my current state, physically, mentally, and financially. They are not things I can go over here, but one thing I can say is the reason I'm tired of my current state is because of my dreams and goals. I know I can be far more than what I have become, but I do not know the extent to which I would need to sacrifice to get there. People say time changes everything, however, I would say it is what we do with time that determines the level of change we require. I'm already going through the downs I expected when I wrote my post last year, and I'm looking forward to the Ups which I hope comes before my next birthday.

HOW I WOULD CELEBRATE IT

I've always wanted to give at least one child a scholarship on my birthday. Right now I'm not looking like I can do it, but if I get the things I hope to achieve, I will get that scholarship done. My younger brother who's still in secondary school was given a scholarship till he finished his secondary school education because of his intelligence. This was a boy who normally came out with poor grades, but my mother is one to never give up on her children. We all kept believing in him seeing how skillful he was becoming and helped him focus on his skills until he finally broke out and started gaining excellence academically.

I look at my brother and feel the need to produce such things out of other homes, this would be a great step in my vision to help humanity, and I wish it would start when I mark a new age. It would be for a new beginning, just imagining how a struggling family will feel knowing the burdens of their child's academics are over. It would be a privilege indeed for me, I do not just wish to do it, I also wish above all to continue it and form a legacy out of it. (Newsflash, I will also hope I find a lady who would join me in achieving this vision 😂)
