THE BLESSING OF LIVING FULFILLED

AI GENERATED IMAGE

Have you ever wondered if a decision you took at a point in time in your life was a mistake? Have you ever felt you would give anything to erase a decision you once made, either to yourself or to someone else? How sometimes you feel that life is pretty unfair, giving you little or no choice, and you end up doing something you regret for the rest of your life.

While growing up, I used to be this slim and pretty girl. Everyone would compliment how I looked and how pretty I was. Although to some, I was too skinny and needed to add some weight and flesh, as they said, I never cared for any of those comments because I saw myself as the best I could be. I had boys from my class and even my seniors in school always admiring me, and I always felt like a little princess in my own kingdom.

At the close of school each day, I was either accompanied home by my admirers or would have one of them drop me home while their parents came to pick them up. Even some parents of kids at my school would call me their son’s wife, and some went as far as meeting my parents to propose marriage to their child.

I knew I was beautiful and so pretty. I would always be careful about how I interacted with others or how I moved from one place to another in those days. People sometimes thought I was prideful, but I didn’t mind what they would say because I was only taking care of myself in this cruel world.

Although, like every human on the face of the earth, I have some doubts about certain decisions I have taken in the course of my life, I believe I am living the best version of my life. It could be better, notwithstanding, but for the moment, it is great.
