Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗
As a kid, I had envisioned how my whole life would unfold; it was like a movie that was perfectly scripted. I always thought after my secondary school, I would immediately get admission into the university of my choice, study the course of my choice, and after graduation, my ideal job would magically materialize. I had everything planned out. Hehehe
There's a scripture in the Bible that says when I was a child I thought like a child. That scripture was talking about me.
Life seems to have other plans for us. Very funny, but my reality doesn't look like my childhood fantasies. The path to university was more than what I expected; there were plenty of cries, prayers, heartbreaks, depression, and sorrows. I spent four years at home before gaining admission, and when I finally got admission, I wasn't given my dream course. By this time, I was too tired, and all I wanted was just to go to school and graduate.
I don't know when it started or what inspired it, but I have always known that as a kid I wanted to become a medical doctor. I had always imagined myself in the hospital taking good care of my patients. By the time I got to secondary school, I realized that doctors have different specialists and because of how I wanted to cater to women, I thought I was going to become a gynecologist. And I would confidently tell anyone who cares to know what I wanted to become in the future: I learned the spelling also to spell to people who didn't know how to spell it.
So to the question of this prompt, am I living my childhood dreams? No, I am not living my childhood dreams. And I don't think I have the strength to study medicine again; instead, I am doing something different and great for myself. I am not even practicing the biology I studied in school.
As I grow older, I have come to realize that, to an extent, the beauty of life lies in its unpredictability. If we could predict how our life would be, I think life would become boring. While my childhood dreams and goals were sweet, the journey of life itself, filled with a lot of twists, turns, and surprises, has become the real adventure.
