The Diary Game #60: Sharing My Day With You

Very early in the morning, few minutes after midnight, I was still hooked in a conversation with a friend. My eyes were weak, but the rest of me wasn't. I had to force myself to sleep and I woke up ready today.

We were discussing school and business plans, and similar things. But one thing that he said echoed around me, from the moment I finally slept off and later woke up. He said,

"Good morning and win today."

Very simple words, yet it resonated deeply within me. I became more enthusiastic and extremely optimistic. "Something will happen today", though I barely understood what. Only, I did win today. I feel much more better than I have in the past few, disappointing days. Interested in growing my skills and opportunities, certain platforms I found require that I submit a linkedin URL. But for some reason, I can't create an account. Not on my phone, my laptop or that of any of my family. Because of this mishap, I had missed similar free opportunities. Things like this can be so depressing. But today, my brother's persistence paid off. My brother, God bless him, tried it once again in his school library and it finally worked. As if a dam had collapsed, lots of things began to fall into place. I have also gained admission into an online tech academy and I am already making connections. To top it all off, my convocation ceremony is tomorrow and my father has made extra preparations to crown the day.

My feet is lighter on the floor and I feel happier than usual. I have been quivering with excitement, looking forward and even anticipating issues that might arise. I must add though, that this issue of my Linkedin had been going on for months. Yet, I kept trying. I am proud for myself for persevering as for seeing the end of it. I never knew I could be this determined and I am DETERMINED to keep on going with my projects, by God's grace.

It's evening now as I write, and for the first time in days of emotional rollercoasters, I do not find myself gloomy. It's hard to even imagine that the stale days even existed. You know how they say the good days, as few as they are, are twice as large as the bad days? You know what? I said that, nevermind it. But I believe it wholeheartedly. And I can't wait to reach more milestones.

It may appear superstitious, how closely his words tallied with my progress of today. I don't know how to explain it but I guess, at the end of the day, we ought to surround ourselves more with positive friends. And we ought to be more positive to ourselves and to others. I believe wholeheartedly that power lies in our tongue and we should be mindful of it. Consequently, I feel more grateful for my family, my friends and myself.

Night is slowly approaching and I am sat outside, listening to my podcast and thoroughly enjoying it. There's a hasty butterfly in the grass, and I can't help but smile and take pictures of it, regardless of how it comes out.
