Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

Hi there, it's been a lovely day, yeah? Hang on a minute while I introduce today's topic.πŸ‘Œ Times are changing and so are we.

Technology has done lots of good for us as well as bad. For instance, there is a void that is dug out when your gadget is faulty, stolen or the battery life is spent. I've been a victim of this, so have you. Yes, you! Each day, new innovations are birthed.  Novel technologies dot the scene and with each birth, there's this desire to acquire more funds to own a 'trendier' device. Each gadget holds true and untrue promises of a top-notch lifespan and fringe benefits.  How so easy it is to get comfortable with devices so tiny! Sometime in August, my phone convulsed, fainted, and died. A part of me ached that it would sneeze and come back to life. However, nothing of such happened. It was an unexpected death that left me flustered.  When the lifespan of a device is over, with or without a w
