No holiday

I have been working throughout this festive period, and one thing is certain the human body can easily adapt to any condition. When I was in Nigeria at the slightest stress, I would become very weak and it was one of the first things that gave me concern about living here in the UK because I thought how am I going to cope with the hustling and bustling of the UK but I was wrong. My body quickly adapt  and this may be because of many reasons number one reason might be the weather conditions, This place is always cold compared to Nigeria, which is always hot so if you’re working your ass out here, you might not quickly know because you won’t be sweating that much.

A lot of my friends are enjoying their holiday but presently I don’t have the luxury to enjoy now I think I should just focus more on how I can get shifts because during my holiday is when I can work more just because I’m a student and as a student without your holiday you have restrictions. So you are all you are free, for immigrants who know what he’s doing this is the time you can use for something good and I’ve been using it wisely and it has been paying off even though I know I still have to do more.

The reality

My reality change when I moved to the UK because when I was in Nigeria, I had a small business that I was running, and I was able to live off the business  so I always have extra time on me and that was how I was able to devote my life to going to the gym and doing some extra activities but when I got to UK my reality change because presently I don’t have any business in the UK that can generate me money or make me live the way I want and also I am time restricted which makes it even more difficult for me as an immigrant.

This holiday is like an opportunity for me to make more money and I’m not even making this money to keep. I’m making this money to pay my school fees and also pay my bills. It would’ve been better if I were able to invest some of this money, but it is almost impossible for me now because I don’t have that luxury at the moment. My reality now is to work while others are busy enjoying their holiday and resting while others are busy making money because after the holiday, we have to go back to my restriction.

The pain

All this is not even painful because I believe in process and I know that things will eventually get better but the most painful part about this is how much I miss my family and how much I wish they were with me and I can’t wait to see them again. Sometimes when I’m talking to them on video call, it’s not always easy and part of the plan and why I’m doing all this is to make our lives better.  This month has been a lot stressful for me, but stress is one thing I can deal with but missing my family is another thing that is very difficult for me to handle.

Thank you.
