Emotional Trauma
Hello, greetings to you all. I'm so thrilled to have you here in this space, you're all welcome.
This afternoon, I want to share my personal experience since yesterday. Honestly, I have gone through an emotional trauma since yesterday.
I was having this bad feeling and I couldn't do anything for myself. Believe me, emotional trauma is one thing you should pray against because it can make you do crazy things you wouldn't have imagined.
You might wonder what led to the emotional trauma, I will relate it to you because I also want you to learn from it.
A few months ago, my pastor called me into his office. He asked me to sit down, and I did as he commanded.
He asked me why I'd decided not to listen to all his instructions, and I told him I didn't understand what he meant by that because it was unclear.
So he decided to break it down. He asked me why I've always refused to make at least two or three posts in a day. Knowing that that's what is paying my fees and also for my transportation to school and feeding.
I gave an excuse that I wasn't a chance. He asked me to see my work as something very crucial and not otherwise.
He urged me to go back home and start writing as usual. I promised him that I would do as he said. So when I returned home, I devoted myself more to writing than any other thing.
But I can tell you for free that it was paying off, and I enjoyed it. Just a few days ago, I felt so reluctant to write. I was so tired and unserious with my work.
And suddenly, news came to me that the school portal would be closed today. Oh my goodness! I suddenly became feverish because I knew there was no money.
I was so confused and ashamed of myself for not being able to pay my fees even when I was in the rightful position to do that. I allowed laziness and lectures to save a little time I used in making some posts.
Before I knew it, I started weeping because I knew what would befall me if I didn't comply. Throughout yesterday, I wasn't myself. I thought about so many things.
As a student, I knew I mustn't allow anything to distract me from doing what I went there for, but I couldn't help.
I had to pick up my phone and call my pastor, I told him everything, and he said to me now the time has come. He told me the time he had been talking about was finally here, and behold, there was nothing to show forth.
The stress that I went through has taught me a lesson I won't forget so easily. He told me that consistency would have been my pursuit and not freedom.
I viewed what he said from a different perspective, but I think I now understand why he was begging me to be consistent in whatever you're doing.
Never let pleasures, freedom, excuses, and sleep take away your moment of success. Emotional trauma is not good; I can tell you that I went through a lot up till now because I failed to do the needful.
Don't be like me, avoid unnecessary excuses when it has to do with your future. Work hard towards achieving your goals.
Thank you for reading my post.
I remain your favorite girl @joyben.
