TRUST THE PROCESS



When I was younger, much younger I wanted to be a doctor. I thought being a doctor was so cool (I still think it's cool 😉), getting to wear a white lab coat all day, with your earpiece (stethoscope) around your neck, walking around looking so smart and everything. I had to be a doctor! It wasn't until I got to junior secondary school that I realised that science wasn't for me. I didn't like the work that came with science plus I didn't like the fact that I had to spend a large chunk of my youth learning it. So I switched.



I decided the next best thing was to become a lawyer. I mean, people said I argue alot and some even go as far as calling me a lawyer (they still do 😅). So I thought to myself, that's great, let's do that instead. When I got to JSS3 (9th grade) I realised how much I hated reading. Most of the literature texts we were made to read were boring to me. To make matters worse, I found out that studying law was less speaking and more reading. Well, that's not what I signed up for. So I quietly vectored away.

Today, I'm studying a combination of 2 subjects that I really like and even though on some days I feel like dropping out of school for the obvious reason (I hate school), on other days, I enjoy what I'm doing with my life.

In a couple of months, I'd be done with the easiest part of my journey, then I'd come face to face with LIFE, the real one, not the one I've been living since 😅. I don't have any 9 point agenda, I don't have a very specific 10-15 year-plan but I won't fail the test.


It's going to be a combination of next stepssss that I have to be brave enough to take. But you know what? 👇


I'm going to have the time of my life figuring out the next move. It's not going to be because I've not discovered my purpose or because I've not found salvation or anything like that. I'm just willing to trust the process. I'm willing to make plans for the next week, the next month and the next couple of months. I'm also aware that one thing could happen and disrupt all my plans. At that point, I'm willing to throw away all my previous plans and start all over again no matter how scary it may be.


There's no rush. The process is going to be slow but I have to be willing to go through the sometimes gruesome process. I have to be willing to trust the process and know that my best is yet to come.



I'm not giving any suggestions in this piece. I've told you exactly what I'm going to do. The question now is, what are you going to do? 😏

I'M MOVING TO AUSTRALIA 🥳🎉🎉

I’m moving…. AGAIN? Call me Kwaku the traveller cos I do be travelling… but not this time. I’m actually moving. By now, most (if not everyone) reading this blog knows I've moved to Sydney, Australia. When I first posted about arriving in Australia on WhatsApp, I think some people thought I was just visiting Australia because I have been travelling A LOT this year. In just 9 months of this year, I've been to 6 countries, including Singapore and Australia, which is A LOT! If you didn't already figure it out, the reason I was travelling like a headless chicken in summer was because I sorta knew I was leaving the UK. So I wanted to get the most out of that location proximity and visa while I could. Few people fully understand how and why I made the move, and posting this on Twitter revealed this very jarringly. Especially since the tweet referenced me having worked in Cairo, London and now Sydney all by the --- very ripe (I quickly rued my choice of "very ripe age" a...

THE FEAR OF LONELINESS

Walking down the street without a companion, sitting at a restaurant table for two alone, staying at home with no one to hang out with on a Friday night. Thoughts like these normally come to mind when we hear the word 'loneliness' and thus we can easily say we aren't lonely because we are always in the company of friends and family and even when we're on our own, we aren't truly alone because we have our devices that connect us to thousands of people at virtually a push of a button... If only loneliness was that simple 😩.  True loneliness lies in being surrounded by people of similar tastes and preferences and still feeling alone. True loneliness resides in having to hide parts of who you are and things you feel just to fit in. True loneliness is being accepted for who you are not! True loneliness is... being unique but having to act like everyone else 😔. Personally, I've had my share of lonely moments but I won't be talking about myse...

THE CRISIS OF URGENCY

This generation, my generation is so concerned with getting rich and doing it early. We want to make it big, we want to 'blow' and we want to do it NOW or at least some time really soon. This urge gets ignited all the more when we see and hear people achieving this at really young ages. We see the likes of Evan Spiegel, Co-founder and CEO of Snap Inc. (originally called Snapchat Inc.) with a net worth of $4.3 billion currently 27 years old; Bobby Murphy, Co-founder and CTO of Snap Inc. with a net worth of $3.2 billion currently 29 years old and of course,  the youngest billionaires in the world, the Norwegian heiresses Alexandra and Katharina Andresen, who are 21 and 22 years old, respectively. With large inheritances of $1.4 billion each. Occasionally, we wish to be like the Norwegian heiresses, get born into fortune and have large inheritances to pull out of it so you don't have to work a day in your life 😁. However, seeing as we can't change ...
