Is This All There Is?

in HiveGhana7 months ago

Only God knows how much I have prayed for the weekend to arrive. No one told me this was how being an adult would be like. Sometimes I wonder if we consider the responsibilities associated with the future we look forward to having.

Allow me to elaborate and then ,you can give it some thought. A year ago, I wished to be where I am today, doing what I’m doing now and all of that , but I really didn’t think to consider if I would actually be able to handle all the responsibilities that came with being here. I guess we would cross the bridge when we get there, that’s what everyone says.

I think the worst part of being an adult is realising you can’t just wake up and decide not to show up. The world doesn’t really care about how you feel or what mood you’re in. You have to wake up everyday , show up and get the work done , that’s if you live to see the next day.😂 Must be tough.

And then, when you think oh, it’s finally weekend. I might probably get some rest. Surprise surprise, the weekend also comes with its responsibilities. Yesterday, I opened my mouth to tell @yahuzah I would be resting this weekend because I’ve had a tough week. I even added that I would be unreachable this weekend but look who’s here. Heaven knows I haven’t had even a minute to spare since I woke up this morning. If this is the life of an adult then I’d rather go back to being a kid.😂

I for one am someone who prioritises my rest over every other thing. It’s surprising how life changes people.😂 Over the last month, I’ve been so drained to the extent that I’ve totally withdrawn from people. Someone might think I’m avoiding them but truth is, I really don’t have the energy for any other thing because at the end of the day, I’m left with about 3 hours to rest and off I go to kick the next day in the ass.

I guess this is how our lives are going to be for a while. But I know that with time we would all settle in. It gets better with time. Life is not magic but I wish for some magic to happen in my life soon enough.😅

Why is this so true😭, I just wish I could go back to being a little girl again.
I'm so drained but I still had to show up to work today 😩.

Hope you do get some rest tomorrow tho❤️

It is well. It gets better with time.

I think I’ve had enough rest today. I hope you do same too.❤️

Yh It does.
That's good. Yeah, I did have more than enough rest yesterday 😊


But shey you remember that song that says "adulthood na scam", a child did a cover saying "childhood sef na scam".
The truth is when we're faced with pressure, we wish for the impossible be it a child or an adult. Even as a child, we wished we were grown adults now an adult we wish we could go back to the simple old life. Now the truth is, everything is scam 😂 .. So let everybody just rest😂😪You've said it all @nhaji01

😂😂😂this got me laughing so hard.

If even kids are complaining then I think the situation is out of hand. It is well sha.

🤣🤣🤣.. Let's just leave it as you said, it is well😌

A few days ago, someone said I’m always saying I’m so stressed and she asked what at all do I do that I’m always complaining.
And this is someone that has been working for so many years. So it kinda made me think that it’s because I’m just new and getting used to the system, that’s why it’s such a struggle.

It’s probably because you’re new and it may also be because you put so much pressure on yourself. Life still moves on with or without us so it’s best we take care of ourselves.

You must really be going through it because I saw it on your status and here it is too

Get time to rest. Find sometime for yourself no matter how hard it is. If not your body will do it for you. I can so relate to all that you’re talking about. About a year ago, 24 hours wasn’t enough for me and the thing is that I loved what I was doing so I didn’t complain until I landed in the hospital….guess what? Everything else went on smoothly without me.

I’m even forgotten what I was coming to add… you de3 bye bye for now

😂😂😂you’re one funny person.

I think I’ve rested enough this weekend. I haven’t done anything aside sleep and watch movies. This should do.

🤣🤣🤣

Oh that’s great to know

When I grow I want to be a doctor, I want to be a lawyer. We just didn’t know all these were part . Let’s pray for the strength to continue when we feel like giving up
🫶

Honestly, it’s really funny to think we thought of all those things. At the end of the day, it’s only a few people who would be strong enough to achieve what it is they wish.

We hope we are able to achieve all we prayed for

Being a grown up isn't that easy. The beautiful thing about this phase of life you're in currently is that it won't last forever. Enjoy it while it lasts 😊😊

One day I would look back and remember the days I used to suffer.😂😂

Seriously

This was the same thing I said to myself before the weekend, i said I was going to rest to low and behold, the weekend is over and I didn't get a single rest, work all the time 🥺

It is well. You should make time to rest ,it’s very important.
