Dear 25 and 26 year Olds…
I was your age when 5 years ago when I had lost a baby, unemployed, frustrated, angry, bored and even thinking I wasn’t worthy of anything. At 30, I’m still trying to figure things out but God came through for me in so many ways, I went back to school, where I miraculously obtained a bursary, and at some point i felt like i could have still furthered my studies in engineering instead of pursuing a career that guaranteed better chances of jobs.
That’s when i realized, i shouldn’t settle. i started to be a paid part-time cleaner who comes into a house or other building to clean it for a few hours of a day or week and that helped me manage to pay my bills. I’m still trying to figure this life thing out. Had it been I had not applied or registered, I couldn’t have accessed some of the blessings I have today.
So please, please, please. don’t be hard on yourself. It’s ok to start or complete now. It’s ok to leave toxic situations and start afresh. It’s ok to plan and execute now.I had no idea how this would work out but I gave it a try. Losing hope makes you settle, forget your dreams and capabilities
Don’t let pressure, people’s negativity and doubts weigh you down. I’m sharing this now, today because at some point, I used to be compared to my cousins, and told how I never finish school. It used to hurt, I used to cry, but those tears made me work so hard. So I’m gonna Encourage you to start, to continue, to hold on and to keep trying as many times as you can, because things eventually work out, life does get better and time flies.
YOU CAN AND YOU WILL, JUST LIKE I DID
Merry Christmas, this is my gift to y’all.
