I woke up around 6am this morning, and had class by 8am. Got to class only to find out that class had been cancelled and our next class was until 10am-12pm. I was particularly happy because I've been down and I'm having severe cough and catarrh which has proven abortive to drugs. I took some medications this morning which made me extra weak so now you know why I was glad the class was cancelled.
Fast-forward to 10am and I'm in class with my course mates and we were talking about our weekend and just random stuff. I immediately noticed a girl who looked familiar and decided I would walk up to her and say hi after class.
After the class, I walked up to her and said hi and told her she looked really familiar and she returned the same energy saying that she had been looking at me from across the hall and thought that I also looked really familiar. I told her she looked really different and she said the same thing.
I was her senior in school years ago and fast-forward to almost 7years later, were now in thesame level in university. I didn't feel any type of way because that's life for you and everyone's path can't always be the same.
She made a comment like " wait! Don't tell me you just got admission into university. You should be through by now, you remember when you were in SS2, I was still in primary school, what happened?"
I froze for a second and replied her that life is different for all of us, and as long as you're going the right path, it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there, what matters is that you get there. I know you're wondering if I felt bad, the answer is yes! I felt really bad considering how long I've stayed home and how life kept throwing one challenge or the other my way but what really matters is that I'm at this junction in my life starting something great and I'm grateful for that.
I got home and was thinking about what she said and I started to hum this song by Whitney Huston " Step by Step"
My favorite lines from the song
So many burdens might fall upon me
So many troubles that I have to face
Oh, but I won't let my spirit fail me
Oh, I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm going to take it slowly because I'm making it mine
This isn't supposed to be a long post, but it's just me writing about my emotions and how music helps me in times like these. Music is more than just music to me, it heals, it reassures me, it gives me hope, it teaches me . I could go on and on about how music touches my life, but I'll end here before I type a thousand words and it becomes too boring to read lol.
Sorry it's this long 😁

You would be surprised how life takes one in a different turn. This is why I try not to get worried because no one can predict what life could hit someone with. Just like the girl, she would be surprised seeing you both are in the same level but wouldn't understand that life is different and our paths takes a whole new turn but still, we are grateful for every progress made. It is not how far but how well, right?
Exactly, life is unpredictable
Yes, I totally agree with you. Thanks for stopping by
You are welcome 😊
