As someone from Africa that comes from an African home, the question I'm about to ask is considered stupid by most people over here and this is because many of us believe that the answer to it is simple...but then, as we get older, we tend to realize that things change everyday, especially things like this and mostly in the western countries.

Back in the day, I used to be convinced that I was a complete introvert, the kinda guy who only spoke the loudest using my keyboard, ranting online but never face to face. But now, things happening around and to me is starting to make me think that maybe all isn't lost and I might be changing afterall.

"You can have a thousand problems in life, until you have a health problem and then you only have one problem."photo by Alessandro BenassiSome few days ago, I had watched this clip on the internet where someone had made this exact quote written up there and I remember how deep it had resonated with me. I had taken a moment to really digest it because I understood every word based off of experience.

Everyday I thank God I had decided to pursue my education to a higher level, not just because I wanted to gather more knowledge but because of the many things that decision has exposed me to, the main one being able to live on my own and get to experience life myself.

I had a different article planned for today, one that was inspired with an event I experienced today, but while I was scrolling through tiktok just trying to relax, I saw this video that almost made me tear up. And maybe it was because of the sad background sound used in the video, or the fact that I could relate so well with the content of the video that it got to me so much.

Most times, I wish I had created my account all based on being anonymous because there are days where I really feel like saying some personal stuff out here, kinda like a journal, so that when I do eventually heal from whatever that thing may be, I could always come back here maybe ten years later to read it all over again.
