My journal is filled with many struggles.

…that I have rose above

I have buried my trials, thoughts, pain, joy, success, mistakes and healing in writing. I learnt that at an early age of 10yrs. It has made me a better writer, but not so much of a great talker. Some people think I’m an introvert. (Jokes on them)
Some pages of my journal are blotted with tears, those were my low times. And in those times, i wrote more.
I have been through certain events in life no body will ever know except they read my journal. Like I said I don’t talk much.
This episode isn’t to talk about the hidden treasures in my diary, but to talk about STRUGGLES.
Oh,yes... struggles...the hard pill of life.
I don’t know someone who hasn’t had their own share of struggle. It’s a package, everyone gets their own share and just incase you haven’t had to struggle through something, sorry to say but your package is coming soon.
Don’t be scared, the struggle isn’t worth the sweat. It’s how you choose to receive your struggle package that counts.
So what, you failed Arc 203... doesn’t make you dumb. It just one of those things that life throws at you and you must rise above.
The greatest men have failed before. Na Thomas Edison own wey shock me pass, 999 times. And because he understood that 999 was only just a struggle, he rose again and today we have the electricity bulb.
You can ask Russell Wilson
his struggle as a successful quarter back player. He understands better 😉
Failure is a struggle, Broken relationships is a struggle, Family problems is a struggle, depression is a struggle... the list is endless.
There will more struggles. I’m still facing mine each and every day. "Bring it on" I will say.
There might be more tears on the pages of my journal, but they will be backed up with joyous and victorious moments.
I accept the struggle that comes with being a human being, but I will rise above it like a god.
