Hey there! Can we talk?
When I was young, I wished I was a grownup, I could always add 3 years to my age.Being a grown up seemed so much fun. As a village girl I remember admiring people who lived in the city. Everything about them seemed superbomb, their dresses, accent, how they eat, hairstyles, everything about them was goals for me. I could wait to grow up and find a great job in the city.
10 years later, done with high school, don't joke with the new adult in town, city here I come ready for the good life my relatives in the city were enjoying. Bye bye village, see you once in a blue moon.
Reaching the city- the paradise of my mind. Wait a minute, how comes they never said of the hours spent on traffic jams, shared washrooms, expensive food and searching for work is work on its own.
How comes people here are so hostile unlike in our village where I was a child of everyone,
Is this what I have been admiring all that long, it is not worth it.
Just like me I know there are so much that you see and hear in the streets of social media. You admire people and their lifestyles. In your mind, they have already made it.
Issa lie, nobody posts their failures, struggles, secret tears and regret. Forget about that beautiful pic, for that one shot to be found they are 99 others that were taken which should never be shared to the public. They did not wake up like that, before that perfect make up, nobody tells you of the banana and key handles their eyebrows looked like
Be kind to yourself, one day at time, you are just doing fine.
It is time to say NO to negative influence for we are real people with real experience.
Yours Truly,
Agatha M.
Happy reading
