There I was seated at the back seat of a car, to me it wasn’t foreign for it had been my one and
only coveted cruiser throughout my stay in this far away and foreign place I have been really
trying hard to learn and to accept it as my new home, my newfound joy and place of abode. By
my side were my friends who for a better part of this journey have been laughing and chatting
heartily. but I was someway somehow lost in deep thoughts to an extent I couldn’t tell what
they were saying or laughing about. How did I end up this way and why was I leaving such a
beautiful and breathtaking place?
Life had never been harder. I gave my very best to survive in a harsh economy in a tough and
merciless society. For a longtime I had endured very painful tear on my very dry and weather
beaten face, many were the times when I would scream in my whispers. As educated as I was
the only hope I had but time had proven it as a trial in futility and a shift in time and season.
Luckily God had never forsaken me. In a mysterious way I always found means to get by and the
most valuable treasure of all times called love.
Sunshine was the name I used to refer to her, she had not only brought light into my heart but
also hope and inspiration into my very dull and helpless life. She took me in for who I was and
not how I was, loved me for how I made her feel and not by wat I made her look like or own.
Just like me she was a victim of a failed system and together we joined hands to fight one
common enemy called poverty and a not very pleasant feeling of depression and
disillusionment that was slowly but steadily creeping into our lives and crowding our thoughts.
Time and trusting a process that we were never assured of in the first place was all we could
think about but in a special way it helped us to brew and ferment as we cemented one thing
that had struck and without warning, called love. To be honest it had well cooked all we were
waiting was for it to simmer which unfortunately it never did, but I intended to believe it was for
the best and a natural response at time no hope was forthcoming and time wasn’t stopping
either.
I set off on a journey to the big city in search of a better and somewhat bearable life and a way I
could make use and to an extent monetize my gifted talent in art and music. At the beginning I
had thought and imagined how life would be cruel and unjust but to my utter surprise. It
worked well on my part and welcomed me in a way I had not anticipated not even in my wildest
of dreams. With a guitar on my back and my skills on my fingertips I went for this audition that
had been heavily advertised on all media platforms across the nation. I gave my best and since
luck was on my side I landed the internship in which after some time I was to join this
multinational award winning production house. To many it was good luck but to me it was a
miracle only the heavens would explain and I was forever grateful for, such occurrences don’t
come to ones life quite often.
