“Between Pressure and Peace: My Journey Through Adulthood”

Adulthood is one roller coaster of a stage in one’s life. There are so many expectations from different people for the different areas of our life’s from academic to business to family and even marriage. The pressures are coming from different peoples. Family, friends, colleagues and even the environment and society at large.

When we were growing up, we all had our lives planned out. There was what we wanted to do with ourselves immediately after secondary school and then comes the number of years we want to spend studying the course of our choice. Then when we finish, we get a good paying job. Get a rich man and get married or become rich ourselves and we had the perfect time to give birth and how many we want to give birth too and so on and so forth.

News flash. Life doesn’t work that way. Maybe it does work that way for some people but for me, everything fell apart from the first year and seems to still be falling apart. Hahaha. But life goes on and I must survive and amidst all the falling apart and things not working the way I speculated, I’ve learnt to always take a break.

Some times I feel it’s my fault that things didn’t work the way they should, at other times, I just knew there was nothing I could have done better. I cry, yes. Sometimes I blame myself and learn my lessons but amidst all of these falling apart, I have learnt to be strong. I have learnt to always look forward to the best.

I have had my own fair share of pressures from all of this channels but the recent happenings around my life have taught me to not be so hard on myself especially when I know I did what I should do and yet it didn’t work out. I would simple sir down and reflect on what I didn’t do well and then learn from my failures and do better next time.

Well, lately I haven’t put myself under any form of pressure. As a matter of fact, I had to take a break. A lot has happened to me that I just needed to breath. Not just any type of breath. Take a deep breath and hang up my leg and that was what I did. Well, no regrets. Now I feel rejuvenated and ready to continue. For he that fights and runs, lives to fight another day.

For my future ambitions, I want to build my Real estate company until I become a voice to diasporans on how to invest safely in Nigeria. That ambition has been lying still for a while but I know it’s time to resurrect it. It’s time to put the pressure back on because the truth be told that pressure brings out the best in us.

As for the future, I intend to have my own real estate company aside other branches of business that I want to get involved in, mostly in the area of manufacturing. This dreams are going to be built one day at a time. Until it’s fully blown. I know it’s not going to be an easy thing but I do intend to keep at it one day at a time indeed.
