I feel weird, cos it feels like I'm in a world of fantasy, with folks of unrecognizable faces, jumping, jubilating and celebrating (JJC).
I feel it's not real, cos I just realized dat d 5yrs I was so tired of, doesn't feel like 5yrs since it's all over now.
I stil remember how d journey started, 5years ago in 2018, pretty little me was excited to finally leave my parents and be alone, away frm their watchful eagle eyes and strong armoured hands of corrections that didn't hesitate to use the rod anytime there's a stray. D first time I traveled alone on a journey of over 12hrs to go write my entrance exams, I was excited but dis day, dis day of leaving 4 school and knowing I won't be back until after a full year, the feeling was ecstatic. I couldn't sleep, I was up and about, frm sewing my traveling bags to packing, unpacking and repacking my stuff. When I finally slept, it was 1am, guess what? I woke by 3am and continued lol. 1st year for me was hell on earth, was it the hunger days? Or the daily trekking frm my aunt's to school and back til I had to take a last resort of staying wit my friends in d hostel which was anoda hell hole of inconvenience? Abi my birthday which was just a month after I left home?I left home in September, my birthday was October which happened to be my very worst birthday, frm being sick 2 not having a phone wit which I could be reached or friends to bath me with water and celebrate me as was d culture, I ended up feeling lonely and crying the whole day. The rest nah story cos GOD buttered it all for me. My life's a very interesting story, maybe I should write it out like Ivonne Nelsonπ what would I call the book? Life journey of Blessed Matthew lol
From day one of relocating, I knew the journey was gon be a very long one but being in school for 5yrs and going home just twice (2019&2020) has been the longest journey and GOD (My ODOGWU AKATAKA) saw me through. Abba thank you, thanks Dad and Mum, I made it...
