Growing up was fun, interesting, entertaining and memorable for me, even with the fact that my childhood wasn’t all sweet and rosy, i still had many beautiful moments and memories with my loved ones. I was born into a middle class family, middle class in the sense that we were neither rich nor were we poor but we were okay and happy with everything we had…
In as much as i am happy to born to my parents and siblings, there were some times circumstances and life challenges forced me into wishing for a much better life and that too in a wealthy family, I have had these thoughts countless times in the past, especially when I am facing one or two challenges I believe wealth can solve, i just couldn’t help but wish to have been born into wealth…
I had so many rich friends in my childhood, these friends of mine possessed many things, they had laptops, bicycles and many other gaming devices, all of which I didn’t have any at that age and time, and because of how these friends of mine treated their stuffs, I just couldn’t help but feel hurt sometimes, you know how children of then brag about every little thing their parents gets them, probably not with the intention to mock the less fortunate ones but to show off what their parents got them, that’s just their way of expressing their feelings…
I was hurt a couple of times by some of those actions but i never hated anyone for it, these feelings and emotions actually made me who i am today, i couldn’t hate them because they were my friends and they’ve turned up for me many times, since I couldn’t get pissed at them, the only thing I could do was to channel those feelings into making myself someone better…
A mobile phone, a good laptop, a bicycle and a play station were four of the things i have always wanted to own as a child, but because of how everything was and many other important priorities at that time, I wasn’t able to own any of them. This made me more determined to succeed in life, I promised myself to own many of the above listed items, if not all, I planned on buying almost everything someday in the future…
The future…
The someday i was talking about in my past and in my much younger days is now; the future…
The future is here and i am still working hard nonstop to fulfill every single childhood dream of mine, I don’t go back on my dreams even if it might be hard to achieve sometimes, my determination to make it in life is stronger than any obstacle that may come my way, i don’t run from challenges, i face them head on with the aim of making something bigger out of it…
It’s been over a decade since I promised myself these items, and guess what friends, i am almost there, i have gotten two of the above listed items. The remaining two items are being postponed out of choice and not because I can’t afford it, they just aren’t my priority at the moment. The truth is that i have achieved the main deal. This is me achieving my childhood dream after promising myself all these items many years ago…
Thanks to the hive blockchain and my hard-work since I joined, i have been able to achieve this dream faster and safer…
May 5, 2023 i got a mobile phone of over $150, this was a gift i got for myself after working day and night on hive for more than a year, it was an apple phone, i had to go with an iPhone because of my blogging career, a better phone makes blogging and it’s experience easier and faster…
On the 1st of May, 2024. I achieved another childhood dream of mine, i got myself a laptop of over $300, it was an HP product, it had some crazy specs. A screen touch, keyboard light and some other cool stuffs. I got this for myself and marked it off my list of childhood dreams…
In summary, two more items to go and i will be making plans for other projects, I have play station and a bicycle left on that list to be marked off, i need more time to achieve that dream of mine, i have other priorities at the molecular that needs my immediate focus…
In conclusion, i am happily achieving my childhood dreams now. I have gotten half of what my younger self wanted in the past, and it feels good achieving it. I still have a long way to go with many more projects to see through, let thy will be done OH LORD…
