2️⃣ Some women cut their own hair not mainly to save money but because they find fun in doing it. Have you ever done it yourself? How did it turn out? Would you do it again?
Changes are inevitable and very difficult to adapt to. Change can either happen Negatively or Positively. The Good thing about change is how you deal with it and how you're able to adapt to it effectively. I have encountered a lot of Circumstances that have suddenly changed and impacted my life.
First I will share one of the positive sides of change that I have adapted to. It all started when I was to leave Home to a College to a place where no Family members or friends were. I was to start a new life there from scratch and this was me that was still dependent on my parents to make decisions and live successfully. I was worried when I got Admission and I was told I will be going there to stay alone. My worries were how will I cope sleeping alone in the house, cooking my meal, Making the right decisions for myself. But I really had no choice than to Brace up for the responsibilities ahead of me.
On Getting to the school which was a different Town from where my Family stayed. I had to start my life in an unknown place all by myself. After getting an apartment for me I had difficulty in deciding how to set up the room to make it comfortable for me. Meanwhile in my parent's house I would not stress deciding on that because my Mum or my Big Cousins would have decided on how to get the room set. But I had to Brainstorm on how to get that done myself. That was the first challenge I had. But I was able to get a solution to it.
The next thing that happened in my Life was when I had to deal with cooking food for myself. Initially it was difficult because I never learnt how to cook before then, I had older cousins staying with us so I saw no need in learning how to cook. But coming to stay alone and knowing that I am responsible for cooking my meals, I started learning by watching videos on Youtube, following Food Content creators and learning with their Recipes. This was another part of me that changed and I am happy that I was able to learn and now I can cook Basic meals for myself.
Finally Sleeping in the House alone was one other circumstance that impacted my life. I grew up around people so I was used to staying at home with people around me. But on getting to school staying alone was one of the greatest challenges I encountered. This was the most difficult part I had to deal with. This actually took me a lot of time to be able to adapt to. I had to make friends with one of the neighbors in the compound I was staying in so every night I slept in her room so she told me one day let's sleep in your room. I agreed we slept in my room. It continued for months. So one of the weekends she travelled without telling me and before I could realise she was not coming back it was too late for me to travel so eventually that night I slept in my room. That was the hardest thing I could change but I am happy that after that Day i started sleeping in my room comfortably.
So Change can be difficult to adapt to, but the way you deal with it matters. I am glad that I used the time I was away from home to impact my Life Positively. Learning how to atleast make decisions for myself and also taking responsibility for my actions, Learning how to cook and Sleeping in my Room alone were hard times for me but I am glad today that my Life was impacted in the process.
This is my response to #ladiesofhive Community Contest week # 190.
