Introduction

Hello people, welcome to my blog.
Special thanks to Mr. @uzoma24 for yet another interesting contest of bringing back the almost forgotten memories due to huddles of life.

My Childhood

As a child growing up, I loved watching movies and I could narrate every detail of every movie I watched right from the title, characters, scenes, location and even the names of the actors.
In fact I can stay awake all night watching movies and still stand strong in the day time without even having a siesta.
I only sleep in the night when there is power outage or I was forced to.
That was how chronic my addiction was.

Thereby I kept encouraging myself that one day when I grow up and made my own money, nobody is going to send me to sleep by force or stop me from watching whatsoever movies I wish to watch because I will be on my own.
So, I grew up nurturing that mentality.

Adulthood is a time in one's life when one is expected to be responsible for one's action and well-being.

Adulthood

As time goes on and I went to serve my country as a corper, I had the opportunity to watch any movie I wanted to watch at any time without interruption and I thought this hobby of mine is gradually coming to reality but little did I know that life isn't as simple as I thought.

Work Life Balance

After service, I got a job with a private school, I suddenly began to loose interest in movies because sometimes I get so exhausted after teaching and writing several lesson plans for tomorrow that all I craved for was rest.

As life goes on, I realized that there is more to life than just watching movies and grabbing every scene in my brain.
Sometimes the challenges of life makes me forget there is anything called movie.
Sometimes I don't even remember there is a television in the house.

Presently, I can't recall the last time I sat to watch a movie because I had to work to make ends meet and when I am not working, I have to rest my head.
The siesta I don't do before, reverse is the case because every opportunity I get in the afternoon, I utilise it to take a nap just to be refreshed.
Every little time counts for me and sometimes I feel the can should extend especially when the days target isn't achieved.
Adulthood has taken its full cause on me now.

Conclusion

I have come to understand that there is more to life than some childhood hobbies which I felt restraint from doing.
Now that I have the opportunity to do I as wish, I am running away from it.

However I wish to invite @stanleynnah, @bobsy and @akwashphil to participate in this contest.
