The Diary Game: Strolling Around The Environment And Having Deep Thoughts {02/08/2025}

I went out today and what I saw grabbed my attention, I don't know if it's proper to share it here but it has really bothered me. So then I will integrate the experience into my diary maybe you can get something a two from what I am about to share here.

So today, since is Saturday I was not going to school and I had the chance to go out and just stroll around. I wanted to have this connectivity with my environment so I went around and saw pupils going to school, it makes me wonder why we keep going to school in search of knowledge then sometimes we struggle out and forge ahead then at the end of the day we may not even work or use the certificate, it's so painful.

I still strolled around and saw other students going to secondary school, It reminded me of when I was in secondary school, then I was always telling myself that by my 25th birthday I will be in my workplace and doing my dream job, I did not know that the Nigerian Educational system will cripple my plans, I mean 2 years ago I should've graduated but I have been crippled by strike and other hindrance. I looked at them with seemingly pity face and praying they won't be stud by the weak and almost a non-functional system.

What I saw really broke me, I decided to back home and have a quiet time with myself. So when I came back home I took the rice mommy left in the dinning for me and began to eat. I couldn't even finish the food because my emotional state.

After eating, I bathed and went to my room to lie down because the whole thing wasn't making sense to me, I just have to reflect on why and how things doesn't even go as people plan, you plan your life but at the end of the day it seems it was even life that was planning you, same thing I am facing right now. Most of the times I see some of my colleagues back then that travelled out of the country are now fara head of me academically and it is so painful.

When I stood up from the bed by 4pm, I took a walk to the market where my mommy's shop is, I helped her packed her things inside so that we could go back home together, after that we came back and I dropped things outside and gave her food to eat and relax while I went inside to rest in the sitting room as usual.

It was late already and I did not even open my steemit account to see what was going on, I login to read posts and vote on posts so that I can also write mine before it becomes too late. I might sleep from here, I don't know yet sha but let's just see but till then, have a lovely night rest.
