Am proud of who i have come

Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt: who are you?

They will always say that the young shall grow, which means that our growth plays a significant role in our lives. Growth is one that every human experiences; it is expected that every human that eats and has life should grow. Most times we may doubt ourselves or probably think we are not growing. Believe me, we grow every second because I have experienced growth in every aspect of my life. Growth is one thing that we will continue experiencing until the day we stop existing.

All thanks to this week's prompts, I have to pause and reflect on how far I have grown. Truth be told, I have grown a lot. Whoeversays they have not experienced growth for the past fifteen or twenty years, such a person is ungrateful. Life can never be smooth; we will experience both the good and the bad. Learning from it makes us grow.

As of 20-15 years ago, I was still a child who didn’t know what life was all about. All I knew was to eat and play. I had no responsibilities; my parents did everything for me. Life was so easy for me because I had nothing to think about. Life, as of them, was so reliable for me back then. I was full of many dreams and hopes of things I would like to be when I grew up. Back then, my head would always tell me that life was so easy. Never did I know that as I grew up, life would start unfolding itself for me. As I grow up, I realise that life is not a bed of roses; you need to overcome some obstacles.

Getting to adulthood, things started changing. I started facing responsibility; people now depend on me. Over the years, I have made many mistakes, and I have met people that betrayed me and also people that I learnt from. In all, I got to know that for me to make it in life, the person I have to be is focused, determined, and trusting of no one. My happiness is that I was able to come out strong and victorious.

If my younger self should see me now, she will know that I am no longer the small girl she used to know. A lot has changed about me. My old self will really be happy with the woman I have grown to be. From a shy girl to a bold girl, if my old self saw the things I was able to achieve, they would really be proud of me. I know my old self would ask me some questions, like, 'How did you move from a shy girl to someone who is bold and courageous?' Probably my old self will ask me what happened to the dreams I had earlier, and all my old self will be proud of who I have become.

A whole lot has changed about me. I am no longer that small Cindy; I have grown into a woman who can make decisions and take decisions on her own. I am not under my parents; I am now independent. I have fought many battles, which I was able to overcome, and some I lost, but in all, I have learnt never to give up.

I will not lie; most times when adulthood hits me, I will remember those days that I depended on my parent. I had nothing to worry about. I am happy with the girl I have grown to be; there is a lot of difference from back then to now.
