Into wealth... I was born.
Even before me, my parents were born into it.
With a silver spoon in my mouth! Life was sweet.
It had meaning , there were no regrets , no worries , no thought whatsoever of what I wanted for the future .
I was certain it held alot for me.
I was too busy enjoying the present.
I lived in my today and not in my tomorrow.
My life was flawless and indestructible.
I lived lavishly.
I was loved by all , I could get any friend I wanted in a flash, I was a charm.
I never knew my true friends.
I was bold and outspoken.
I had high self esteem.
I was proud of myself and loved the attention I got from everyone .
I was a good believer , I loved Him cos I got all I asked from him..
Maybe I should mention... I was unrealistic, naive and delusional .
cos I never saw life from another perspective , simply because I had all I wanted.
"A sweet life" .
And everyday was a dream come true.
I craved for more "An extra hour in each day".
Not for too long though!
Suddenly,
It all became a dream,
A scary one.
A very scary one.
No food , No clothes , No shelter.
Water was my favourite meal for the day.
Each day was filled with hopelessness.
Thoughts of a better life were my fantasies.
I lived in them.
I became timid.
I now needed to hide in my shell .
I had no friends, the few I had were not so proud of me , only the one's that were like me.
" my parents and siblings ".
We were scavengers, picking up stuff anywhere : clothes in dump yards, reclaimed wood to mend our shelter on the street side.....
My faith eroded as each day went by.
I was devastated.
I lost my self.
I no longer fit in any class.
Life was really a horrible place to be.
'Cos I had nothing .
I caught night flies for food , I had an entire river of water to quench my thirst.
I had nothing....
But then I met Him.
He gave me hope once more.
This time I knew what faith really was .
To have faith isn't an easy task , cos I didn't know the source.
Then I knew what it was like to ask and not get all....I got all in my previous life.
I knew i couldn't get all this time.
I was determined.
I fought to be whole again.
To be someone with a meaningful life.
On my way to the top I depended on help.
I got help and I knew how it felt to be in need of help.
I wish I helped people in my previous life, but I didn't.
Well now I know its importance.
I was humbled .
And life began to have meaning again.
This time, I did learn.
I didn't expect too much from it.
I planned ahead for tomorrow and even for the day after.
I wasn't flawless , but was perfectly imperfect.....!
