Grace took me further than I ever Imagined

Hello Learners

If my past 20-year-old self sees me now, he won't believe my life turned out this way. In fact, he won't recognise me cos I have changed a lot. He was just a boy who loved to play, had no worries, and no dreams; he lived life as he deemed fit. Most of us were like this during that season.

Certain places, years, and stages of life change us; they modify us into who we are today...

The first time I wished for something was in 2008, when I entered a neighbour's house, and he saw the projector in the sitting room and movies playing on the wall, and the collection of books on a shelf in his library which makes the place more beautiful, it was the first time he would see such a house which makes him crave for such as well but the dream didn't last long, he forgot about it the moment he reached the pitch and started playing ball with his peers.

The year 2011 would always be important in his life... So many things happened that year, it was the year he graduated from secondary school, that was the year his life had a meaning, a year his life had a direction, the year he fell in love and got heartbroken, the year he left his parent and changed environment, the same year he had his first job and first pay.

The year 2011 to 2017 was another phase of my life, which was different from the way I lived in the past; the extrovert became an introvert, I found the online world but money was not involved, we just chat and have fun, I made some good friends back then, still in contact with some while I do not know the wheareabout of some anymore, I just hope they are fine wherever they are.

The turning point started in 2017. One of the friends I made online in 2012 introduced me to the Hive platform. That year strengthened my hope and faith that I was going to make it in life.

It was not rosy from the start, but never did it cross my mind to give up I celebrate with those I met on the platform, knowing my time will come. When some gave up during the 2018 bear, I stayed! Because I refused to return to a life that holds no beacon of hope, and I am glad that I persevered. I am not yet where I want to be, but I am far better than who I used to be in the past, and I give thanks to God

This is year 2025, and I am moving to another stage of life, and all I can say is Oluwatosin [God is worthy to be Praise] He is enough and worthy to be praised cos he never let me down and I am forever grateful for what he has done in my life, what he is doing and what he is still going to do.

I also spent some years when we chatted and had fun but money wasn't involved but later we moved to the stage of life where we need money as we have to earn it so we find ways 😁

Yeah, we were yet to discover how online monetization works, and it wasn't yet rampant then.

I guess we all have different experiences and real life scenerios, alot of people won't believe they will definitely be where they are today if they were to be asked 10 to 20 years ago about how they had imagined their life to be.
Its truly a blessing experience life in stages and phases too.

Indeed it was hard to expect that you would come to this point judging my the past. That's why I think life is full of possibilities and we can be better than our imagination.
