OH MAN, SHED OFF THY OLD SKIN!
There always comes a time in a man's life when he, like an insect , has to shed his old habit and wear another . SUCH is Life!
As I grew up, I realised that life was meaningless if we didn't have a goal or purpose for our lives . As for me, moving from being a shy little girl to someone who yearned for some amount of liberty wasn't an easy task at all. Trust me, I didn't care how little liberty my struggle was worth, all that mattered was that I wanted to be like every other child I knew. Many countless times I tried to fully understand what I wanted when I said I wanted liberty but all that came to mind was my will to achieve the many stack up goals I had without fear of thoughts, ideas, words and people. I lived a life not knowing who I could lean on or trust in any situation I found myself in. Nothing was achieved with me in my old habit...Nothing at all!
My starting point begun when I felt the exposure, the opportunity, the competition and my zeal to match up to the level of many. I just needed to see what life had in store and that was my real definition of LIBERTY. My primary focus wasn't to gain the freedom to do as I willed whether good or bad but to know what I could do and offer to the world-MY GOALS. I realised I was justified to cry when I did because although it didn't bring me what I wanted, it intensified the FIRE of self-worth that was ferociously burning in me.
At first, I found it hard to accept a lot of things because I was never used to them, I created a shell around me because I viewed life as a scary place and I hesitated when I was encouraged to try something new. It all didn't start out as easily as many people might make it sound. Trying to evolve into an outstanding person or a role model isn't an easy task. It takes carefully planning, zeal and ultimately a strong belief in God. Little by little, I moulted. Shedding off my old skin as gradually as I could and although it's not completely shed, there is no point in me not telling the whole world that one doesn't have to get satisfied with his or her current position but instead, try against all odds to make his or total refinement complete.
I'm still in that process and although the journey seems too long and dreary, I see light at the end of the tunnel.......
