There's always a lesson.

I, like many others tend to find lessons from certain mundane events of life. One came about today while i was in the restroom trying to do NO 2 in my school. it was a mind opening though cliché stream of events.. here goes:

  I got really pressed and was even excited at the thought of the relief i will get after. A lot of things seemed to be working in my favor. one, not a lot of people in school as it is the summer session; hence, i will have the bathroom to my self.


 I went into the bathroom and yes! i was alone. First deal breaker, here comes in this girl. My first thought, she came to do No 1. Alas!!! she came to straighten and curl her hair. I felt like, "oh well, she will have to contend with the smell and the ruptures from my butt hole'. Just as i was feeling all relaxed and ready to let go, here walks in another lady. Instantly, i clenched up and could not let go. I could feel tremors and rumbles in my tummy in reaction to my restraint. I held on and waited in patience. Eventually, they both left at the same time. I was so relieved and decided to let go. Unfortunately, my tummy had stormed off in anger and was no longer interested....


Bringing this home.

 Sometimes in life, we feel that the universe has aligned for our good. We get excited at the prospect of the achievements we are capable of. We trudge on, We plan, we even begin implementing and VOILA!!!. they come in; the criticisms, hindrances, "haters", they mount stumbling blocks, mountains, whats and whatnots.

We cringe, we begin to doubt ourselves and wnt let go. We impede our growth and stifle our dreams and just as they walked in, they walk out. Not looking back at the damages and ruins they left behind. We are left broken, angry and downcast at how easy it is for our dreams to be shattered. In retrospect, we could have stood our ground, made the noise, splattered our s#*t as we desired. We could have walked out relieved and achieved. Instead, we clench up, boiling on the inside at the blatant disregard for us. The truth is

It is our lives. We can do it as we please in as much as our actions will hurt no one. There are people whose jobs are to make the journey stressful but at the end of it all, it makes it worthwhile.


Cyriussly, 
Never let them walk away leaving your dreams in ruins. make your noise, do your thing and even if it doesnt come out as expected, take solace in the fact that you did not allow it to get stifled...

P. S: Sometimes, we are the stumbling blocks ourselves. These people might just be on their journeys also, not paying attention to us. We on the other hand are so worried about their perception of our own dreams and journeys that we undermine our potentials.
