Wow, Old things have passed away.

 Not many people know me, most times, people never truly do.

At this moment in time, a lot of things exist happening simultaneously around the world. Some good some bad. These things eventually come to you in the form of people and events, you 'taste' the world. You witness its beauty and ugliness.

Each new experience forms your person.

You learn you unlearn, you relearn. I'm going to be 24 years in two days. This feels like such a huge number. Do I feel my age? Nope. 

Since my mum passed 8 years ago, I had felt stuck in time. Never really growing up mentally because there were no longer parental markers to highlight my growth.

You were on your own. 

I noticed I still craved things, juvenile things as I aged, and I wanted them with the fervency I would have had, when I was younger.

I talked to my brother about this and he was able to help me get out of that state.

Now I'm not afraid to grow up. It's a blessing to be able to grow up. God made you, He knew what would happen, that I wouldn't grow up with my parents, that was why He became my strength.

He replaced my parents and raised me Himself. Talk about having the Creator raise you Himself.

What have I achieved? First, I'm saved by Christ. That is still my biggest achievement.

The second is that He's using me to save others.

Even as I experienced the good and the bad of this world, and my person formed, I didn't lose myself, who I was at my core. 

I now understand the world better but I found that nothing could make me waver. 

No one will be able to change my mind about what I believed in. It took a lot of falling and rising but my mindset is cemented in God's word.

If the world decides to be turbulent, I'll be the unmoving rock that breaks the head of the tide.

One thing is for certain, I shall fulfil my destiny whether the devil likes it or not. He cannot stop me. He knows. But he's trying to delay me, devil you can't.

He threw things at me thinking I would fall, but it only kept strengthening my resolve each day, I will become a force to be reckoned with, the darkness' worst nightmare.

I shall inherit this world because the meek shall inherit the world.


I am LIGHT, UNDER GOD. AND THIS WORLD SHALL KNOW HIM.

The fear has passed away.

GOLD

I'm looking for gold. Barefoot and hungry I wandered through the forest. My hands brushed roughly against tree trunks and shrubs as I leaned against them for support. I was tired, it's been two days. But I'd made a promise, I wouldn't leave without my gold. I could feel goosebumps rising up my body as the cold air clung jealously to my skin. 'I've lost him,' I thought looking back. Good. No one was going to share in my gold. Gold was all I needed in this world. I heard shuffling in the bushes nearby. I gasped turning around, arms and legs battle ready. "Who's there?" I silently cursed myself for sounding so shaky. There was no response. I tensed up. 'My gold,' I thought, 'my precious gold.' As I took a step towards the overgrown bushes, my lungs in my throat, out of nowhere an arrow flew right past me, missing my head by a few inches. I gasped, eyes wide. I turned around and made a run for it....

Prompt 2: Dakatar

Prompt: Pick a name, a place, thing and an emotion and write a short horror story about it. Name: Dakatar Place: Space. Thing: Shard of glass. Emotion: Despair. Dedicated to Victor Mairo. ****** It was getting hard to breathe. She could feel her body shutting down. She grimaced at the metallic taste in her mouth. "Dakatar! Dakatar!! "Don't you dare give up on me. Wake up!" You're almost there. At the sound of this voice, her eyes fluttered back open. What was that? She slowly turned to her left and then to her right. It sounded closer. Did she hear that right? Suddenly it was quiet, the voices of her teammates slowly faded out. "What was that voice?" She was floating away, with a wire attached to her space suit leading back to the Space Station approximately twenty meters away. The wire was a safety measure put in place to keep her fastened to the ship in the event of an accident. But it serves no purpose if the blast ends...

Yay♥🥰

  1,2,3,4,5....24. How time flies. Tic-Tok goes the clock. Never stopping, never waiting. Two decades and four years, that is how long I've been alive. I've lived 12 whole years...twice. Who was I at the age of twelve? Did I even know who Taiwo was then? I was in JS 3, a very awkward and reserved girl. I had a lot of joy and nothing much bothered me. I didn't have responsibilities to worry about. I only had to pass my exams and my mother would be impressed. I enjoyed the company of family.  How simple life was then, at twelve. Now I've lived twice that now and I've discovered now that there was more beyond life than secondary school. You know I used to be afraid of growing up.  One, because I didn't think I could survive as an adult because of my reserved nature. I felt like I was too timid to be shouldered with important responsibilities. But here I am now. Would you be proud, 12 yr old me? I think you would. I think Mummy would, I think Daddy would. And I hope...
