The world is void without you in it

I have a lot of past experiences that I became an echo especially from my parents but I was thankful because it is for my own good when I was in highschool and once in a college too. For now I became a voice in my life because I know now how to face my life with decisions. More blessings to you sir Gozie..🙏

When I was younger, I am so afraid to speak up for myself. I just became somebody's shadow and echo for a very long time. However, God have his own way of teaching us things. I've learned on how to speak up for myself and have my own voice.

I am proud of me all the time. Its not like I don't face those situations, the beauty about me is that I bring them under control and never allow people place in me in a condition I am not comfortable with. People matter in life but not to the point of taking decisions for me.

There was some instances in my life that I became just an echo. But I came to a realization that I need to voice out my self. I need to speak my own decisions. I was so fed up being an echo. Now, I feel great to make decisions on my own.

For some, it may as well be happening, some other people doing the decisions for them and they couldn't let their own voices for certain circumstances. I am glad I am my own voice and I decide for myself, well, of course, considering my husband too hehe. But yes, it is a freedom that I say is worth fighting for, to be able to let your voice be heard too.

For the past years, I have been an echo and a shadow of my grandma. She always decides what's best for me and not even what to act in public. That's why I grew up with lack of confidence and doesn't know how to build relationship with others. She mold me to be formal like not having flaws. but this year, I decided to break from it. I don't want to be an echo anymore. i want to live the life I want with my own decision and I don't regret it.

Be the voice, not an echo... This is such a meaningful piece.. But in my case. I always follow my decision.. BUT taking consideration of other things and most especially my family.. I may be living my life on my own, but other people are still part of it. My voice and their voices should be considered at the same time.

The answer is YES, I have been in a situation where the people around me become my decision-makers. And to come out of this situation, I started making things happen without relying on them because I know myself more and I know I can do better with my own.

I never want the people around me to decide what my life is going to be. I prefer to do it myself coz I know myself better than them...and that's right in every actions we execute , we are responsible for it and we must be ready enough for the consequences later.

I heard the echo people instead of voice, where people are fine enough with others voice not realizing they also had their own life, happiness and love self. They are stuck in the words of others, freedom it is.

It's a great article man, we are the owners of our own happiness, we are free to do whatbwe wanted if it is good for our soul then do it. I also wanted a life like this.

People around me can suggest but the final decision comes from me, no one gets to decide for myself except me. My happines is my choice.

Another great piece from your bro. No one determines my happiness. I take my own decisions and take the result with open hands

I live myself and will always love myself until the very end. We should not forget to know that no one has the ability to love you as you do love yourself. So, I alone can make my own decision but will never allow someone else to do it for me.

We have our free will we must use it. But sometimes it's easy to say especially when you have love ones, family, if you are a breadwinner like my decisions will always be to consider them but glad the time comes that I don't need to worry anymore. Now I'm making my decision for myself. I chase my happiness. I'm living my life the way I wanted. And I can tell it's such a great feeling to be able to do so.
