Wow....filled with inspiring and motivational thoughts that just brought me back to life especially the line that said "the past is a closed door while the future is still open" gotten from the last line of the subtopic "you can't change your past". This line alone made me feel as if you were directly talking to me. Well, i just have to say my story. When i was a kid, my parents were doing well in their respective businesses as traders and we never lacked anything during my childhood. Unfortunately, my dad had a ghastly accident one day while returning from work, that was the beginning of suffering. We spent all the money treating him and even borrowed some from his friends. Finally he got Well, but things became so stiff for us to the extent that we no longer had anything doing, but he insisted that me and my junior sister must go to school. The way he did it, i don't know, i just have to say it's God all the way. I graduated from secondary school 2015, got admission 2016. My sister just graduated from secondary school this year. It was all by the grace of God. When i got admission, 2016, he still struggled to pay for everything and they kept on starving at home. Now I'm in my 2nd year in school but there was no way he can help me out with my school fees, due to the fact that we just buried our grandmom before I resumed for the 2nd year, 1st semester. So we had to spend all the money for the burial. I never knew it was gonn get worse to that extent for him to tell me to quit school but I said to myself that I'm not going to quit school. Instead of going back with them to where we stay, i decided to go back to the town where I school and that was I hustled my school fees from repairing and fixing of phones all by myself. What I'm trying to say is, whenever I remember all this past, it weighs me down a lot, sometimes i feel like this situation is going to continue all the time, i become so afraid of the future, but these words "the past is a closed door while the future is still open" gives me hope....at least i can see a bright future here on steemit.
