Life out here is crazy. It can snatch away your dreams, and force you to live normally with no expectations than to just survive.

Hello guys, how are you all doing?
For me, I feel exhausted. To tell you the truth, writing has been quite hard these past few months. No matter how much I tell myself I must write, I just couldn't. There were days I cried so hard cause I feel so handicapped for not being able to write while I have so many ideas. I feel like time is running and I'm left behind because I'm not writing.
And there were days I just want to disappear. To just find a place to rest and not have to think of when to or what to or how to about life?
The truth is, I thought of quitting writing to face reality and put the time I spend on writing on something else that can help me pay my bills faster because everywhere I turn to now, I hear Yewande you don't write anymore, right? It happens dear. Many of us stop pursuing our passion to work so we can survive. Besides, your dream is not the type that is well appreciated or comes with lots of success.
The truth is, be ye acting, any profession, any business, job, or career, not everyone will be well appreciated, make lots of money or have a huge success. So, what is the essence of quitting what I have built for years to face a reality that doesn't guarantee me success or wealth? Living as an adult has been quite hard for me. I have heard a lot. I have gone through a tip of an iceberg that wants me to quit life. I have heard voices that proved to me many reasons to quit here and live normally.
I broke down in the presence of an adult who has gone through my phase and she told me...
"Calm down, Yewande. You want to do everything like you used to."
"You have lived all your years being provided for and you are suddenly thrown into a life you are not used to."
Tell me, does everyone get used to new things easily?
"You are used to school, and after lectures, writing. But now, work takes so much of your time. Pay your bills faster. But you are not used to a life where you can't write, so you think it's over."
"Breathe. See yourself taking baby steps and starting a new life all over again. Though this life is hard on people who don't want to live normally and give up their passion because this is how the majority live. To survive."
"Also, this phase of life is as if you are learning to walk on your own again and because you aren't taking it slowly, you are hurt seeing others walk faster than you while you fall when you attempt to walk like them."
Then she said...
You need to relax because they have been in this phase of life way before you arrived, so they have adjusted to life that you think their lives are perfect. You will too.
Writing means a whole lot to me. I don't want to take it as a hobby that I can just post anytime I like. I want to stay consistent as I was before. I want to show up as I have always done, but in reality, a lot is happening outside here.
In case you are just like me and you find it hard to live out there. Calm down. Breathe, because you are starting a new life and you can define it slowly how you want that phase to be like. Do it all over again. Slowly, because you are really not behind. You shall pursue. You shall overtake. You shall recover all.
That's going to be my testimony. I will overtake and I will recover all. I don't know how. But I know the only one whose strength can make it possible.
