AYOONI

IT's 15th of January today, tomorrow is my birthday and I am not feeling at all like it, my mother had said it's not every day you turn 23 you know, but my mind had wavered to something else entirely, since it's my graduation at the university in a week time also, I often think of how life would be after my graduation, I have been posted to Zamfara for my service with my best friends Anike and Asani, and that makes me happy at least but that's not the case here, all my dreams may have been falling into place, an 18 year old young lady who had walked into the university with only the mindset of been one of the greatest archaeologist in the world, by taking one step at a time, and now the dream is right in front of me and all I could think of is what next after all this, how do I even get through with this. Survived by only a mother who had always wanted to me to be medical doctor and a little brother, whose life is all about science, my name is Ayooni / and I will be 23 by tomorrow, and I think life is best lived when we understand that nothing goes forever, all what we do and achieve, will only become artifacts in the future, remains many people will look at and tell what you have done with your life just by a single touch, so live well.
