I stay on my lane. No competition

More than a thousand time's, the pressure always comes, making me to almost throw away myself, yet in each of those times, I always win, because, since when I was a child, I was told to always be myself.

We should understand that nobody is us, and we are, and will always be the original version of ourself.

That is why I do not look into what I do not fit in, and I do not force myself more larger just to fit in, because the one i had done, at the end, it just didn't end well.

I guessed it was because the message came to me at the early stage of my life, and since that very moment, I always watch my lane, I do not try to imitate, I speak my mind, and I do stuff that excite people and myself as well.

So, this was what taught me how stressful it could be for a person who wants to fit into a particular thing that might not be his/her calling.

It was about climbing a tree, truth be told, they are people who are afraid of height, and I think I fall into this category, so, when my friends were climbing the tree, I recalled one of them using speed, and before I know he was at a branch.

The deal is, i was amazed and i as well wanted to do the same. Forgetting several times how Dad warn me not to climb a tree, so, i was set on it, and i did give it a try. Therefore, as a novice, I held a branch that was not weight enough, and that was how I fell down, it was not a big deal by the way, because we used to have sand under the tree, sands were kept there to be used in constructing a building.

I did not broke any part of my body, neither did I had wounds, but I had pains when I hit my legs on the ground. This took place in the evening, and in the morning, I hardly walk, it was when Dad learned that we did climbed the tree.

The pains lasted for few days, and I thought it was going to be all for it, but the worst part was that, the tree was fell down.

We did not have anywhere to do janglover anymore, by "janglover" i mean that game that children hang their motorcycle tyre on a tree, get inside the middle of the tyre, and be moving themselves😊, it was always fun. But because of the fact that, I wanted to fit in, it resulted in loosing a favorite place where that janglover game suit so much.

This experience makes me to understand that, not everything I should expect myself to do, there should be some limit on the things I want, because some stuffs are not good for me, and some as well, are not under my reach, but above all, I have to be myself, follow my heart, and also stick to good stuff.
