It's a new year, and so it's a new beginning and as such I decided to start this journey here even though I had planned to start it from the beginning of this year but unfortunately I have been so busy with life toggle that I have not had enough spare time for this journey but fortunately, today I told myself against all odds I was beginning this journey and Tada! Here I am.
Let's just say I am among those who do "New Year Resolution" and I have got a lot written down as my new year resolution but don't get me started on how I am yet to take up any on my list except this one right now.
Let me begin from the year 2025, the year 2025 came with a lot of ups and downs, it knocked me out, gave me reasons to feel hurt and pain, made me shed tears, made me question life but in all, it was a year, I learned, unlearned, and released. I conquered my pains and came out standing strong. I have faced a lot, most years have not been the best but last year went downhill and broke me deeper than I had ever felt.
It's the fifth day in the year 2026, and I am having faith, hoping, moving, kicking, smiling, living and daring although it may not be fast or quick even though it is going to be a baby step, one step per day but it doesn't matter as long as I keep taking the steps, pushing, striving and thriving regardless of the storm, challenges, and hurdles. The year is still young, so fingers crossed it is going to be a beautiful, fulfilled one, and I have greater expectations for the year.
Now, back to the order of the day, you all meet Nwadaiaha, the first daughter and only girl to her parents. Her father's favourite baby and best pal and her mother's daughter but unfortunately I lost both of them to the cold hands of death. I lost my dad in the year 2010 to a car accident, and lost my mom in the year 2025 which happens to be last year to an illness that we had been managing for years until last year.
I am a creative mind, an ambassador of peace, a calm and confident baby girl, a church girly, and a final year student of the University of Uyo, studying Guidance and Counseling. I am from Akwa Ibom state and an indigene of Ibesikpo Asutan. Being a finalist has been hectic, fun, breathtaking, and beautiful in all.
I love to sing, I am in fact a chorister in my church, I love to read books, and because of that I became an ambassador of a book club called Goviambassador. I love to read motivational/inspirational and godly books, I easily get lost in the pages of good books, and last year I and a friend did a challenge of who gets to read more books for the year, although she won because the year became a challenging one for me but I am glad I took up the challenge and I am once again on it doing year. I love nature, love to watch movies, love to smile, and love to be creative.
I have beautiful friends who take me as their sister and family and I also do to them. We started together, stood together for and with each other, and this year we will be signing out together. They have been my rock, they have shown me what it means to taste family who you are not related to by blood. They have cheered me on, been with me during my worst days, supported me, cried with me, cleaned my tears, laughed with me and at me, given me their shoulder to lean on, prayed for me, my confidants, chastised me when I am at the wrong and they have also shown me what been angry at me means to them.
We've been at our worst and happy moments together, I heard that most university friends are never genuine for each other and I prayed to God that I never experienced such friendships and this set of humans has been an answer to my prayers because they are everything and anything I want. They are the best humans God gave me when I started University of Uyo.
My life has been a testimony, growing up has been filled with a lot of lessons, a lot of adapting, a lot of evolving, and a lot of changing. Growing into adulthood just because I had to because I needed to provide for my family even though it was not my duty to do that at such an age. Taking up the responsibility of caring for my mom who was diabetic until she gave up the ghost took a toll on me and I had no option but to become an adult when I wasn't supposed to. I became an adult in a kid's body just to be able to stand in the gap.
I grew up trying every job for survival because I needed to survive, my family's survival was dependent on me but we are still standing regardless, and I am hoping that next year by this time, I will be writing the things I didn't let laziness and procrastination stop me from doing.
It's my new beginning and I hope to keep it going, see you all more, and get to learn more about me from time to time as these few descriptions here can not be enough to summarize my whole life or being.
I believe I am welcomed in this wonderful platform
