Adulthood

Adulthood!!!!! This word always sound an alarm in my ears because am always afraid of what I will do if I finally become an adult. And here I am, am an adult.

Growing up in this beautiful country called Nigeria, growing like every normal child I really want to become an adult. I don't like it when people refer to me as a small girl, coming from a so called "get inside" family, I desperately want to become an adult not minding the hard times I will face or the challenges that will come my way. I see adulthood has a chance to escape from home, to escape from been locked inside for weeks ,to escape from been monitored but I never know adulthood is a tough life, a new beginning on its own where you will be on your own to decide what you think is good and the best for you.

After my secondary school, waiting for admission into higher institution I always tell my sister that if i gain admission and leave this house, I will eat what I like, buy what I want, go anywhere I wanna go to and enjoy life to the fullest, I never know that it is easier said than done. After I gained admission and I left home, my first year in school was fun and okay because my parents still send me money and stuffs but unfortunately that begins to reduce gradually, my allowances started to reduce no more extra cash, it was then I realised that have entered into "face your life squarely chapter". During that time, I had nothing doing because am enjoying free cash from home, they are supplying all my needs so I thought I don't have to work to earn money but suddenly when everything started to reduce i had to sir down and have a rethink of how i want to live my life to achieve everything i desire.

My dream of eating what I want, buying what I like, going to different places was immediately put to a stand still because I don't have the money to buy nor eat or go to where I want to go, I was retired back to my former state beforethe admission. Except for me going to school, I can be in my room for two days without stepping out until I started my own entrepreneur service that takes me out once in a while if I want to deliver goods to my customers if that's not necessary I send my rider to do that. I now face the reality of adulthood, when this latest adulthood anthem came out and people were singing, I had to reason very well and ask myself is adulthood really a scam? Well, as for me I don't think so because adulthood will open your eyes to different opportunities in life, how you can maximise your little into something big, how you can make a living for yourself in a positive way , how you can survive in this economy hardship then I came to the conclusion that adulthood is not scam what about you?

I hope you enjoy reading this and I will be expecting your comments in my box. Enjoyy.
