I am Joy Ijeoma Nwankwo and here's part of my story.
INTRODUCTION
I was born sometime in the late eighties or early nineties (you get to decide). I am the middle child, having two elder brothers and two younger sisters.
One of my earliest memories is me being a sickly child. I remember being in and out of hospitals often, to a point I asked my father if I was gonna die, bringing tears to his eyes.
Obviously I didn't die.
I was thin and looking at my childhood pictures now, I think I was balding.
Now, I can't be referred to as thin (let me not hear you calling me fat either), and I have a great hairline, even if I say so myself.
WHY I LOVE MY LIFE
I am supposed to be writing why I love my life, so here goes.
I realized early in life that I could do anything... In my mind. I mean I used to escape to worlds unknown and slowly it has turned me into a creative writer.
I used to escape to these fantasy lands when sights and sounds around me were not friendly. It was my survival technique, my way of handling these negative things.
For a long time, I saw myself as a late bloomer, and though it disturbed my mind, I reveled in the advantage; the glory of the latter being better than the former. So while I'd be in want or struggle for longer, I was almost sure that when my hope finally materializes, it will be glorious, far glorious than any other I had seen. I learned to work and wait for fruition.
I have great friends and I have learnt that it's a blessing. I always have someone ready to pull me up when I'm down and someone who turns to me for help when in need. It is a blessing of two faces.
I am blessed with an empathetic psychological mind, and that has made me approachable and intuitive so many times that I understand people in ways I don't even understand. This has helped me get to the root of many problems.
I am blessed with a beautiful smile. When I'm at my lowest, my smile hides the depth of my pain and instead helps many others find reasons to press on.
I am a natural teacher and adviser. I am blessed with the ability to give people great advice (if only I could follow my own advice).
I am a believer of possibilities. In fact one of my best quotes was said by Jesus.
Everything is possible to him that believes.
I love my life.
I have not seen it all, but I have seen a lot.
I have been abused.
I have been misused.
I have been up.
I have been down.
But I still believe that the best is yet to come.
FINALLY...
I have realized that things always always turn out okay for me, a solution always presents itself! Recently, I was in a financial fix and I needed urgent money to fix some emergency problems and my bank account was empty. Then I remembered some Easydex PBToken I had won earlier. It was with great reluctance that I sold some off as I planned to hodl as many as possible, but Easydex came to my rescue as I sold just what I needed and solved the problem.
I love my life because with its up and down movements it is turning out beautifully well, and the best part? I have easydex.
Yes, life is easy with easydex.
