Something must kill a man #5

“It’s time to take responsibility of your life, you’re a man now.” “You would soon be in your husband’s house.”
Some are used to hearing those above statements. After school, what next? Jokes apart, have you given it a serious thought?
Many have felt that when the time comes they’ll cross the bridge. This isn’t something they teach in school, not taught at home either. People just tend to give their advice on what they think would work out for you but it’s left to you to decide what you really want.
Right from the beginning, like the title of this series has conveyed; ‘Something must kill a man.’

Life is full of pressures- Some major, some minor. What keeps us floating or drowning is our response to these certain pressures of life. The general response of everyone when pressure comes is to either stand tall and face it or run away. In case you’re wondering: “When all this wahala go end?” (when would all of these troubles go away?), it never ends until our oxygen on earth has been extinguished.
There’s no need to feel like the pressure is too much or back down now. The reason is because we all have been struggling since we were birthed- You probably have forgotten when you struggled to walk, struggled to speak, struggled to have an identity, struggles kept coming in several forms and you kept on winning and getting better why does it have to be different now?
Whatever may be the struggle you’re facing now; money, school, social life, peer pressure, or whatever the case may be, Now is the time to face it. Start doing whatever you have to do get those things that are making you feel inadequate but not at the cost of your sanity or value. Chase your sanity, chase spirituality, chase skills, chase connection, chase self improvement, chase value and watch other things aptly fall in place. Remember that you’re a survivor, you’re not the type that easily backs down from a fight, you face it!
