"The Dilemma of a Graduate
Being a graduate is a very beautiful and awesome feeling. I used to wish for it,and it finally happened. Then what? Whats so special about being a graduate? Lol. I won't deny I'm very happy to be out the university. I thank God for seeing me through the 4years.
I just go to discover that being a graduate positions you for a lot of responsibility and trust me it comes with a lot of what I call "look ups". People expect a lot of things from. They expect you to talk,dress and behave a certain kind of way. You probably should start bringing something home! Your junior siblings thinks being a graduate means more money in your account. You family and relatives expect so much from you, you can't afford to disappoint them. No more monthly allowance as to when you are a student,even tho I'm not used to it. But the thing is that, the whole expectation grows into something that might eventually, if not careful, push you out of your self alignment. Now the pressure is just atmospherical. You feel it in every " good morning ", in every conversation, down to every food you eat at home.
James do you know you're a graduate? Haaaa! I know, please I don't need a reminder. In the midst of all these discomforting chaos, discovering what you want to do and what you need to do becomes a subtle dialects. Should I keep composing and making music? Should I continue as an event planner? Should I just go ahead and acquire a new skill? What vocation would put money in my pocket?..... Hmmm!!!!.
These myriad of question just keep coming up. However, at last I'll have to just do one thing. But it will have to be what I love doing, if I want to roam this earth fulfilled. All these draws my attention to questions about the purpose of life. We're we supposed to struggle through life trying to make money? A lot might stay dishonest to themselves, but it feels like the goal of life for most inhabitants of the earth is wealth, and in a more religious way " contentment",'comfort'. This is why I often say illusionists are just scared of reality....
More to come from me being a graduate!!!
