Up, Down, but Never Out

For as long as I’ve known myself, I’ve always been a go getter. At every moment, I have known my next plan, how I was going to execute it while also have a back up plan just incase things didn’t go well. I learnt very early in life that things wouldn’t always go as planned and that doesn’t mean that I should just sit back and let everything in my life go wrong.

For me, giving up isn’t an option because I know that with hardship comes ease and I make sure to keep striving day and night until I hit the jackpot. There have been times in my life where I didn’t know what I wanted or was even doing. I was just living, doing what I wanted without caring and giving my parents headache. We all know how rebellious teens can get. Fast forward, I started to see things in a different light and started to change a lot in my life.

I had a clear vision and I had plans to make everything work out. I had to support and the avenue, all I needed was to show up and put in the work and everything turned out great. I felt fulfilled because all of my plans were playing out just the way I want them but. Then, I decided to slow down a bit because I had been living by habit for so long. I wanted to try something new and that’s when I expanded my level of exploration.

I wanted to divert into something new. I was hyped up for it but sadly, it all crushed down. I had spent months working on something this big only for it all to tumble down. But I guess it was a learning opportunity for me. I was sad and couldn’t sleep for weeks but life had to go on. So, picked myself up and started all over again. This time, it turned out well but not without its challenges. Today, I look back and commend myself for not giving up. I’ve always believed that it’s better to try and fail than not try at all.

Life isn’t a bed of roses, but through hard work and dedication, everything will work out just the way it should.
