Hypothetically
You know that
feeling you get
When you
prepare for an exam and you read everything you can. You cover all the basics
and tell yourself you’re fine.
Then you
enter the exam hall and relax.
Then you see
the question paper and heave a sigh of relief because you feel good about all
five questions and tell yourself, you’ve got this.
Then the
examiner tells you, you have just 2 hours to answer all 5 questions and you
look at him like he’s suddenly grown horns.
Then you scramble
for your pen and start writing, with that annoying voice in your head telling
you not to bother because you know there is no possible way you would finish.
And you try
everything to shush that voice.
And you write
twice as furiously just to prove that voice wrong.
And when you’re
nowhere near done, you’re told to hand in your paper because of course, time is
up.
You hand it
in while mentally throwing daggers at the examiner.
And you get
terrified of what the results would be.
Then you
start over-analysing all the words you wrote.
And you
discover you really should have written ‘this’ or excluded ‘that’.
And a little
voice in your head tells you should be fine but that other annoying voice says “please,
you didn’t even finish”
Then you have
to wait endlessly for the result.
In the
meantime, you try your bestest to squash the negativity.
And you think
of several ways of consoling yourself.
And you
finally get the long awaited mail.
And pow!
You passed!
Yea, this is exactly how I’d been
feeling lately. But oh, the joy of knowing you passed. You’re so giddy, you can’t
think. The world is at peace again and you can breathe. Again.
Lately, God has been coming through. I'm
not exactly where i want to be but i definitely am not where i used to be. And
for that i am grateful. I have been feeling like i'm God's special project. He
is definitely on my case. I constantly feel like doing some Stephen Boss aka Twitch moves (from So You Think You Can Dance) and dancing to the songs in my
head. (groovy songs)
And the songs in my head? Try this: God in Me by Mary Mary (Can i crump to this?)
Or this: Ara Ile by Simi
Or this: Thank You by Mary Mary feat Kirk Franklin
And that picture of Twitch? Yea, i just like to ogle him. Cute huh?
Have an amazing weekend.
Muah
Am so happy for you,I feel u die,God I want to be your special project.
