The Experience: My Wabi-Sabi journey_(3) My moment of transformation 😌
<p>Thank God I'm able to post this today 🙏😥. (I say "NO" to delay😩)...</p><p>.......</p><p>Moving on with my Wabi-Sabi journey 😊....</p><p>The previous part painted the picture of a depressing moment.</p><p>But this part will imprint an image of gaining momentum.</p><p>My moment of transformation.....</p><p>It started with a discussion, first and briefly with my elder brother and later with myself. Fast-forward to four years, o<span style="background-color: transparent;">n this particular night after finishing each of our assignments, we started off with different kind of old games then one thing led to the other, he started talking about his primary and immediate secondary school which preceded the current one, saying all sort of things reminded me of my experience while I was in primary school and I also shared mine including that competition we lost but I carefully avoided mentioning the "stammering" part. When he heard this, he also shared his experience of how he has faced major setbacks and disappointment that can break one but after all this.....</span></p><p>He just looked at me with a kind of "No stress" look and said <strong>"WO💁, BETTER DAYS AHEAD JARE"  and immediately, he drifted off to sleep</strong>.</p><p>Inwardly, I was like "😒so after all my story<span style="background-color: transparent;">, it's just one "better days ahead" that you can say abi😒". However, some </span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> minutes later, I began to ponder on that statement "BETTER DAYS AHEAD" and it began to make sense to me as it kept on replaying it in my head and I began to realize....</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Even if someone says "So you're a stammerer!!" there are better days ahead, if I had cried in the present because of what someone labelled me as, there are better days ahead where I would smile or possibly even laugh when I remember those experience....</span></p><blockquote><strong><em>Hmmm.....BETTER DAYS AHEAD</em></strong></blockquote><p>I sat down, cried for the last time as I did a quick flashback of all those moments and I replied to those memories and said to myself "BETTER DAYS AHEAD". In a flash, the statement my teacher then made to me replayed in my head exactly the way she had said it <em style="font-weight: bold;">"Oyinloye.....no one can debate as you do"  </em>THAT WAS WHAT FINALIZED MY RESOLUTION... I kept on repeating both words "No one can debate, perform, and do amazing things as I do" etc.</p><p>I read rigourously with this same mindset, resumed my senior secondary school with this determined mentality, it got to a stage....(please don't laugh at this😂)</p><blockquote>On my first day of resumption, sitting in the class, I was just looking around, observing the students the way many just minded their business... but to me, I interpreted it as "no one needed me, I was just one new irrelevant boy", and I smiled and said inwardly "All of you in this school don't know who just stepped into your school 😎 una go soon bow😂" (Maaan!!! I was hyper determined😂...b<span style="background-color: transparent;">ecause I was currently in better days so I must create a better atmosphere around me😌)</span></blockquote><p>And as Gen Z will say "<strong>No be by Cho Cho Cho, show workings". </strong> Of course I did show workings as early as the starting weeks of first term....</p><p>To be continued......</p><p>Next: The Stone the Builder's rejected.....</p><blockquote><strong><em>PEACE✌️</em></strong></blockquote>
