Huhm, thinking back now, I find out I spent a lot of money last year, funny enough just last week I was going through my transaction history and bank statements, I was surprised at the amount of money that can in and out. I did spend money on a whole lot of things, I changed my phone last year, got some things and all, but what I found out I spent mostly on was Relocating.
Yea, I registered for NYSC and was posted towards the end of the year, I was posted to a different state. I was even happy at first, it was the state I wanted. I knew some people around there and I believe things wouldn't be that hard. But the excitement didn't last for long, reality looked at me face to face. I was posted to a school and they didn't offer an accomodation, I tried my best to change to another or even do relocation but it didn't workout. So, I had to settle for it
I had to leave my comfort and travel down to a new place, a place where even transportation itself is nothing to write home about. I stayed at the corpers lodge for just two days before being able to get an accomodation for myself, so I moved from the corpers lodge. People are already many there and I kind of love my privacy, so I left, aside that, the corpers lodge to my primary place of assignment would cost me #2000 per day just for transport and maybe a brake water. How do I stay in a place like that, I had to calculate and do what's best for me, so I got an apartment for myself and left.
And we all know it's not just about getting an apartment, I had to get a bed, get gas, but foodstuffs, buckets, extension box, curtains and all, they seems to be very little thing, but when you add them all up together you will be amazed at how much is already gone.
There was a day like that, it was around the time I just moved, I sat down on the bed and opened my bank app, I was surprised at how much is fine already. I felt I should have stayed back in my state, this is a lot of money that I could have used in doing a lot of things for myself. And talking of it was really worth it, well maybe. I think it is, at least it gave me independence, it's grooming me, I'm learning to survive on my own, I'm learning to spend wisely and manage whatever I have with me, I'm doing more of planning this days and I'm adjusting to this life. It is not easy, but I'm trying.
The thought of,"you could have stayed back in your state" won't stop coming though, cause to be honest, the person who helped with the direct posting could have helped me done the posting to my state as well, but I was the one who wanted to go outside of my state, not really knowing what's waiting for me out there... but then, there's still that feeling I'm having, I'm proud of myself, at least I survived when I was in school, I will definitely survive and thrive here as well.
So, if there's the need to relocate again, I definitely will. Even though I don't like stress and all, I know I will still have to relocate when I'm done with my service year, here is actually not a place I would love to stay or base. I'm allowing this to build me and to give me some experiences because I know life would definitely ask me to relocate again....soon.
