Hello family, this is my first article here. I've been so busy but now, I'm back for real. No more going back. I've been very busy with my studies and I was writing my examination. I'm done with my examination now, I give God the glory.
Now let's go back to my write up "Once Upon A Time". Look at you, look at yourself. In this post, I'm giving you all the privilege to reminisce on things that you do before and you don't do again.
Once upon a time, I used to be scared of speaking the truth. Here, I'm really serious. You know why, I'm trained by African parents and the real thing is that whenever you make a mistake, you will get beaten. Though African parents do not beat everytime but beating is the most likely punishment that you'll serve. I was always scared of speaking the truth. For example, if I mistakenly break a plate and then I see my mom approaching, what will come to my mind??? It is cane. I will be very scared that I will get beaten today again. But now that I'm grown up even if not fully, I can say that I'm not scared of speaking the truth because no one will beat me.
Once upon a time, I used to be scared of going to school. Who else gets scared of going to school here?. I do!!! You know why, some of my teachers were so harsh but not like they were harsh, they actually wanted us to learn but we do not understand that concept. We thought everything was about beating and beating us all again. So once upon a time, I used to be very scared of going to school. This is also because I do not want to see some teachers. Why? Because I didn't do some of my assignments and I know they will beat me. But why will a primary school student not submit her assignment? That's laziness and it shows that I didn't set my priorities right.
Once upon a time, I used to be very afraid to love. Why? This is because I feel like love comes with pain and I am not ready for that pain so I just walk away. But as time goes on, I realized that true love doesn't come with pain.
When you are in love with the right person, you won't be sad but when you love the wrong person, he or she will continue to disappoint you. It may take time to find the right person but trust me, when the time comes, you'll know. And also make sure that the so called person supports you in achieving your aim.
Once upon a time, I used to be very scared of sleeping alone. Because I listen to Michael Jackson so much and my favorite song out of all his songs is thriller so I make sure I watch thriller video every night. If you've seen the video, you'd realize that it's very scary. So it makes me scared whenever I'm sleeping alone especially in the dark. It makes me feel like Michael Jackson is coming to carry me or arrest me. And it's actually an imagination, it can't happen because Michael Jackson is dead.
Lastly,once upon a time, I used to be very scared of writing. But look at me today, i can continue to write for hours without stopping. I'm in love with the person I am becoming. I can proudly say that I'm a big girl 🤗.
What do you do before that you don't do again?? Let me know in the comment section 😁
I was also terrified of thriller, the zombies and wolves were so accurate that time, I didn't sleep sometimes because of it. I was so scared of school because of the beatings, there are other ways to teach a child!
