It is a few days until my last examination, the day I will sign out, and a lot has been going on in my mind. First, preparation for exams and my final year project have taken me away from writing on Hive, and each day, it gets harder to write and share my thoughts here. I find it difficult that most times I will want to write, but I do not know what to write. It is so much unlike before, when I could come in here to talk about anything and everything.

That aside, I have been thinking and asking myself the question—what next? What comes next after I become a graduate? What do I want to focus on? What do I want for my life? What will be my next step of action? Will I stay around for a while or go back home—which is something I do not want to do.
I have always said that school has been a primary distraction from things that I really want to do. Skills that I really want to learn, and now I will have a different lifestyle from the one I have been living for the past 8 years—one without school in the picture.
Now that I will be done with school, and probably after finishing everything concerning the school project, it will be the best time for me to come back active on Hive. For some years, Hive has been my primary source of income, and I have survived living the lifestyle I am living—one with comfort and stability. It will be so unwise of me to become so less active without having a better source of income that can contribute to Hive, my growth on Hive, financially since I may not be able to do that actively.
There are a lot of skills that I have half-baked that will need fine polishing and some that I may need to drop for others. I believe after school will provide a time for thoughtful awareness and visualisation. To walk and draft the next few months and years of my life, asking myself what I really want and making sure every day action contributes to doing so.
I feel the next year of my life should be spent grinding and polishing. This may probably make me want to go to my cave and be less active online but looking at the fact that most of my grinding and polishing will require me to work on not just my tech skill but also my content creation, I will need to have a good moderation of my online presence and time fixed on learning and self-development.
By God's grace, All will be well. Thanks for reading.
