Joy within
My 1st degree was a 4 year course, for 3 years I felt I lived life through a box
repeating the same cycle again and again and going for a part time job (which I hated) like my life depended on it.
The 4th year I made friends and it was sad yet joyful to return to my country.
On returning home, I began feeling like I was watching my life pass by through a box screen, depression started setting in.
I prayed for change and God answered, I went for the national service after the Covid of 2020. I was constantly surrounded by a lot of people (I even had to hide sometimes to regain myself) and made 'friends'.
Its been a year since then and I'm about rounding up my service, each of those friends have left or disappointed me, but...
I'm okay, I now find joy within, I'm upskilling in a field I love, not chasing money to survive. I find joy and peace in the love of God, in myself, in the mundane things like my keyholder and books.
Connecting with and loving ourselves is the one way to close that sink hole in the heart.
I'm happy to be a part of this community, check out my intro post here
Till next time😊
