I have no idea what I'm having fro breakfast tomorrow morning or what I'm wearing to school. I still need to double check the time and location of my classes. I don't quite remember how long it usually takes for me to get to school from home around that time of the day. In actuality there is a lot that I do not know and probably a lot more that I am uncertain about in terms of the recent future. But ask me what plans I have for 5-10 years time and you are in for the rant of your life. I finally have the ever elusive purpose and direction that I have been lacking in my life and let me tell you, they are important elements to have.
I recently paid the motherland a long overdue visit. For once I enjoyed my flight and my visit. My month long vacation was packed full of life changing experiences. Furthermore, Nigeria is beginning to feel like home again. I can't really tell you why...Maybe I'm getting bored of Dubai. Maybe being around Nigerians so much in the last few years has finally allowed me to fully embrace my roots. Whatever it is, for the first time since I first left the comfort of my country I was sad to say "see you soon". I think this has a lot to do with my sudden realisations of what I would like to do with my future.
If you had asked me a couple of years ago what I'd like to do after studying, I'd probably have said something along the lines of wanting to travel and write. That's rather poetic but incredibly vague and not very promising. Now I'm finally making concrete plans of when and where I want to travel to, what I want to do and write about and most importantly where I would like to be based. Of course it's not something I readily admit to those who know me well, but I actually do want to live in Nigeria. I revisited parts of my country that I had all but forgotten and that was what reminded me of why it was so hard to leave in the first place. Not only do I have plans to live in Nigeria, I know what I want to do while I'm there. I now know how I want to help my country!!
YES I am excited. But I can't share the details of my plans I'm afraid. Moreover they wont be put into action for a few more years so lets all suffer the long wait together shall we??
P. S.
It's nice for you to stop by even when I'm not around to keep up appearances as it were...Thank you all for your support.
