I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. We are already humans, and our joyous and happy moments have time and season; we have times when we are very happy and could grant any kind of wish at that moment, and we have times when we don't even want to see a single soul until we feel different, but even in moments like that there are things, achievements, and people that when we remember we tend to smile and instantly start to feel different; that is because those things or people are our actual source of joy, they make us happy, and we cannot even hide it.
As humans, what makes us happy varies from one indicator to another; those things you feel place you on top of the world. There are people for whom those things don't freak at all, and then those things that make those people feel on top of the world might not even freak you or move you. What makes us happy as humans varies; what it will take to get you to be happy might not be the same thing it will take to make me happy, and that is just how the human mind works. What moves you might not move me, and what moves me or interests me you might find boring.
Living in a country like mine, you actually need something to hold onto, or else you might actually go insane or slip into depression, so I think every individual currently living in my country has something or someone that makes them happy, someone or something that whenever they remember, they are forced to put a smile on their face, someone or something that when they remember, gives them the strength and the hope to keep going. Trust me, life is filled with ups and downs, and without something to hold onto, you might fall and not want to rise again.
A few weeks back I traveled to my school to get my statement of results, and that serves as a reminder that despite the ups and downs during my school days, somehow God made it possible for me to graduate, and I graduated once with some of my mates, even when at some point I felt like this is it, this is where I either drop out and stop stressing myself because graduating from school in a country like mine comes with so many trials and temptations; sometimes you are asked to pay for this and that, and you might still be thinking about how to pay for them, and you will be asked to pay for that and this.
Knowing fully well what it took me to get to where I am today is something that makes me really happy and leaves a smile on my face whenever I remember that I have graduated and I have my papers with me. I have many coursemates who dropped out, and some still have one issue or the other and are still in school struggling to come out of the issues they are in. The fact I was able to round up my school journey smoothly is one thing that leaves me smiling sheepishly because I know what it took.
