IN WEAKNESS, YOU FIND STRENGTH.

We have strengths and weaknesses. Every human does. And, whichever we feed grows. I tried to think hard about what my strength is because frankly each time this sort of question pops up anywhere randomly, I dismiss it. I feel like it's for people who take life too seriously. But, this time, I decided I was going to get done with it atleast for myself. Understanding oneself is a great score point, isn't it?

The first and only thing that came to my is that i am unyielding. Unshaken in my resolve. Not given to pressure. Peer pressure, self pressure, name it. I hold my own. I've not totally figured out my life. I haven't even started figuring it out yet. I am unswerved by the words and actions of others.

On the other hand, I have a bad habit. A weakness. This is one of the so many that I exhibit and have resolved a thousand times to change but still haven't taken a leap in that direction. It is forgetfulness. Not of things. Not schoolwork. Not work. Not any of those things but people. I forget people a whole lot.

I am a perfect description of "Out of sight equals out of mind". Once we are together, I'll definitely remember you but keep a few meters between us and that's it. No hard feelings or anything of sorts.
I barely call people. It rarely ever happens. it doesn't just stop with acquaintances. It happens with family. I don't even remember to. It's crazy cos I have so many persons who check on me regularly but I never return the gesture. "I'll call tomorrow" is always what I tell myself. But tomorrow never comes. Never.

I feel like there's a connection between my strength and weakness. They seem to be intertwined.
Although I shouldn't gloat about my weakness, it has actually been of advantage to me. The trends, achievements and whatnot of others barely get to me. Maybe in that moment it does but once you're gone, no time for pity party. This isn't to say I am unhappy about people's wins or comfortable in my current level. Nah! Far from that. Actually, it had helped me be the yardstick for my growth measures. No pressures. No worries. I live life on my terms. Run at my pace.
I set my own trends,make and smash my own goals and generally live my life.
So, you leave, I move. And that's it.
Everybody's alright.

So, there you have it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Stay safe!
