You know what hits more than being broke? Is being beyond broke. Going through all your accounts and seeing nothing is heartbreaking
What used to sound like a myth was now my reality. George the great boxer has been reduced to nothing and that hurts. This was not the life I envisaged nor was it the life I had worked so hard to build.
I don’t know how and where things went bad but they did and they are totally beyond my control control right now.
I stared at the leftover soup in the pot and I laughed out loud. This was not happening, I said to myself.
The last six months of my life have been hard, and nothing was working. I tried my best but this injury on my wrist keeps getting in the way. It was the genesis of my current condition to start with and I hate that it still hurts after several months.
I was brought back to reality by the sound of my phone.
“Hey big bro, how ya doing?” My cousin said in her bubbly voice over the phone.
“I’m fine, how are you doing yourself?” I asked, trying so hard to keep my voice under.
“I’m good, and I am in your city!” She said excitedly.
“My city? When and how’s that possible?” I asked confused.
“I’m sending you my address right now, come see for yourself brotherly and please don’t keep me waiting. Byeee, I love you.”
She ended the call without even waiting to get a response from me, and in no time she sent the address.
I sighed and out of frustration, I threw my phone on the couch.
“Arrrghh!”
My favourite cousin was in town and I didn’t have transport fare. How am I going to see her?
“Arrggghh!!! Shit!!” I screamed.
“I need help! I screamed at no one in particular.
Heart racing, palms sweating, jaw clenched I walked into the room, got my gym bag, and headed to the gym. If there was one place I wanted to be, that would be inside the boxing ring, boxing the punching bag, and releasing all the pent-up emotions.
I arrived at the gym in no time, I was grateful for the proximity.
Thankfully it was opened and other than the security guard there was no one present.
I swung into action, punching the punching bag like it was the cause of my problem.
I don’t know how long I stayed there but I knew I stayed there for a very long time. It wasn’t the answer to my problem but it was what I needed at that time.
I don’t know when all of these were going to end but I knew it was only a phase and phases were bound to end.
What do I see?
A boxer with his gloves ready to box
What do I feel?
I feel this boxer is determined to box his opponent with all his might.
Thanks for stopping by
Loads of Love🥰🥰
