I OWN MY STORY

 OWNING YOUR OWN STORY, SUCCESS, AND OWNING YOUR OWN JOURNEY. 

A critical journey for a young person's life is to question, "Have I done enough to be where I need to be or have a really made it in life? "Is it too early for me to settle down and as a young woman. as you're again, you know that undeniably, you have a Role to play in the household as a mother in the near future, you have a duty to your husband at the same time you have dreams and aspirations as an individual person too to achieve. 

I will not deny it. at times, I question myself ,did I make it? am I satisfied? did I choose the right career path? who should I trust? What type of man in this generation is a type of man I should really settle with to lead and be submitted to? 

The realities of life kicks in, and you make mistakes, you learn from, grow through, and heal from. 

You gained friendships, and you lose friendships.

You gained trust, and you lose trust both ways (your trust in others and other's trust in you)

You cry, you get back up

You get hurt, you hurt others.

Life is a roller coaster.

Life is never a straight line.

It's full of ups and downs

it's full of many push and pull factors.

If there's one thing in life I find that's constant is God in every chapter and phase of life I've gone through.

To say I'm a strong person, I'm not.

To say I've figured it all out in life, never.

To say say or think I made it, I'm far from it.

To say I'm better than another person, God knows I'm not.

I'm flawed in every way possible a human can be

I'm marked with scars ,told and untold.

I'm a whole chapter of mystery of chapters read, written, and yet to be written, to be told and discover.

I'm sometimes a chaos and destruction to my own hopes and dreams

And I'm most times i am the only light of hope that's standing between me, my future, and my dreams.

It's never always a sure clear yes, but always a still small voice that's guiding me through this journey of life.

Knowing that I've never showed-up dishonestly in life is worth every hurdles I've faced, overcome and yet to overcome.

Far too long, I've hindered my own growth because of my own fears. Most times I fear failing and being told, I'm a failure in life.

It took me a lot to really define what failure and success looks like to me and what it really means to pursue life:

At first I was afraid to live my truth but now I'm not afraid to own my story, my Journey and my success and my victories. It may not look the same to others but it's my own race, my pace, patience and determination. I have to own my story ,own my mistakes, correct my mistakes, cultivate my own pathway and stay committed to my own journey and tell my own story: NOT because I have to prove a point to everyone but because I'm okay with being me and showing up as me regardless.

I own my Journey, my story, creating pathways fitting for me and undeniably living my truth.

Doesn't really need to be validated by everybody's standards but because I'm owning my story.
