Change is one of the most constant factors in the lifecycle of every human. Another constant factor is “growth”. Change is not only liken to positive results or positive impacts, that’s to say some people change for the better, while some change for the worst, it all depends on what you want for yourself as a person. Life twenty years ago was different, I mean different in a good way. Life back then was literally the best for me, and that was because teenagehood and adulthood haven’t been in the picture, my parents were still the one in charge of my wellbeing and bills back then, my only job as at 20 years ago was to wake up early in the morning, get bathed, cry for food and get fed. I had no worries in life, i wasn’t after anything, therefore i had peace. Five years after, i started seeing things differently, i started wishing for things, i started making goals and targets, it was at this point i started making some minor decisions in my life, all of which contributed to the man I’ve become today…
I have experienced life in different dimensions in the last two decades. I have seen situations go from good to bad, bad to good, and also from bad to worse, all which has shaped my views and perspectives about life and i have always been seeing it. Twenty years ago i was still under the impression that life was indeed a bed filled with roses, ask me what i think it is now and my answer would be something totally different, and that’s because i have grown and experienced changes, and that too in different areas of life…
When i look back fifteen to twenty years ago, considering everything I’ve been through, the mistakes I’ve made and most importantly the major decisions I’ve made in my life, i have become a totally different person. Twenty years ago i didn’t know what career I would pursue in the future, and now i am currently pursuing a career in the Applied Sciences, which is one of the biggest changes in my life right now. Twenty years ago, i was still within the four walls of my parents house, eating and causing troubles all over the neighborhood, and now i am more sophisticated and calculating, with different responsibilities on my shoulder as a student and as a son. Twenty years ago, most of my life’s decisions were made by my parents but now i make most of it and chest the responsibilities till the end. This is growth, this is change, and that’s how it has been programmed to be. Saying i am still the same person after twenty years would definitely be a big lie…
I have been to places, i have encountered different cultures, i have encountered different people, both the good and bad ones. If after all these encounters and experiences one still ends up becoming the same person, then you are lying to yourself…
If my past self was to see me right now, He won’t be able to recognize me anymore, and that’s because i have changed, things aren’t the way they used to be. One of the issues I battled with years ago was ”quick vexation“. Quick vexation and i were best of friends back then…
I have always been the type to get angry easily over anything, no matter how little the issue might be, my reaction to it is always quite extraordinary, this was a problem everyone knew i had, i was also aware of that issue, but as time went by I realized such attitude would do me no good if I don’t work on it. After years of hard work and constraint, it finally reduced. Now I pay little to no attention to things that could get me riled up easily, though i still have it in me but then i have great control over it now, unlike before…
The me fifteen to twenty years ago was a large eater. I could finish 1 derika garri worth of eba on a good day, but on a bad day i’d eat less, but now i can go all day without eating, especially when i have my devices and Netflix at my beck and call. This is another major change in my life. There are over a thousand and one other changes in my life but then I will love to limit it to that which you have read just now. There’s another day to tell the rest…
In conclusion, change is constant, change is inevitable, but make sure those changes brings positive impacts and improvements to your life, because that’s what will make the whole journey and experience worth it…
