Was it worth it?

They say, "Life is full of uncertainties," and it is these uncertainties that have made life even more risky. Often we leave our houses without the knowledge of what we'd face outside because the world is cruel and isn't always friendly. I know if there was a way to avoid these risks that revolve around the world we live in, "most people would avoid it," but then risk can't be avoided, although it can, not always.

Like my friend would always say, "Not taking risks is still risky" because living every day is still risky; you won't know when something will hit you. Talking about the most recent risk I took.

This year started amazingly, and I've been applying for different job roles. One thing I didn't care about the location because I wanted to explore different states as well and not just be in my comfort zone. I feel like there is a whole world out there that needs exploring and I wanna experience the lifestyle in a different state.

There is this particular one I applied for which was outside my state of origin, but then I didn't bother because of my reason above; fortunately, they got back to me after a while, and it was time for the online aptitude test. So I took the test, and to my greatest surprise, I passed it.

The next stage came and I did the necessary things. After rounding up the sixth stage of the interview process online, I thought everything was done, but then I was wrong. These people sent an emaill asking for a physical interview with their panel.

The interview was scheduled to happen in the next three days after receiving the mail. I'm not gonna lie. The time frame was short, and it didn't give me much to think about the whole thing. So when I got home that day I called my friends who were based in the same state as the interview was being scheduled to know if they stayed closed to the venue.

Fortunately for me, one of my friends stayed very close to the venue so I was at the edge of taking that risk to travelling to the western part of my nation. A few of my close persons discouraged me about taking such a risk but then I've already made up my mind about traveling. So the only thing I said to them in order to convince them was to be calm, that I was gonna be already.

So they all accepted and was like "just go and come back to us" so on that fateful morning, I embark on this journey of mine and it started, I traveled to Lagos state and came back to my state origin safe and sound without any scratch.

I know deep down that was a huge risk to take without physically knowing the company I was going to, with how the world is currently where no one can be trusted. But then I took that risk because I had this positivity about the whole thing that enveloped me. I just wanted to seek for greener pastures because the world doesn't revolve around me and my comfort zone.

Some risks are worth taking.
