THINGS I WISH I KNEW AT 23
What if the life you planned was never the life Allah intended for you?
At twenty-three, I thought I had life figured out.
I had dreams. I had plans. I had people I trusted. I believed I knew where my life was heading.
Then life happened.
I left Abuja for Kano with a heart full of dreams, only to discover that growing up meant facing things no one had prepared me for.
I failed seven subjects.
I went to bed hungry and smiled the next morning like everything was fine.
I was accused of stealing something I never stole.
I lost friendships I thought would last forever.
I battled an illness that changed the way I understood something as simple as breathing.
I fell in love. I was betrayed. I healed.
Then I opened my heart again, believing perhaps this time would be different-only to watch another future I had carefully imagined fall apart.
But somewhere between the heartbreaks, the silent struggles, the prayers, the tears, and the unexpected turns, I began to find myself.
I discovered my voice.
I discovered my creativity.
And most importantly, I discovered that sometimes Allah allows certain chapters to end because He is preparing us for a story we cannot yet see.
This isn't a story about having life figured out at 23.
It's about being lost and finding your way.
About loving and losing.
About friendship, betrayal, failure, faith, healing, purpose, and becoming.
If you've ever felt behind in life, misunderstood, heartbroken, forgotten, or unsure of what comes next...
Maybe you'll find a piece of yourself in these pages.
This is my story.
These are the things I wish I knew at 23.
And maybe, they're the things you need to know too.
