Peoples Expectations Will Kill You.
As a kid from Ghana ,
from a family of 7 of which i am the third born,
i ever lift hands to born into this family where i was brought under the feet of both parents.
Into a family where my father had his own businesses , from cars to farms, to elementary school.
But as a broken piece nothing reflect man's imperfection like a family.
Never have i seen a perfect man and never will i see a perfect family .
I have suffered from these expectations of my father right from age 1 to 26 ( now ).
He was my mentor and idol,
It was in and through his hands that i began writing , as a matter of fact my writing was born from the words "Don't Die Until You are dead." i saw handwritten by him in one of his books.
And that was when i began to roll this over and over cause i didnt understand it and i didn't anyone to explain that to me but now i understand it.
He was hardworking by all standars and never comprised on what he thought to right and true.
His standards were so high that he had few friends and many saw him as a threat and a hard man.
And so i wanted to be like him,
He graced me and taught me a whole lot of things.
I never chose anything from 1 -20,
He did all that for me and if he was wrong , i suffered the consequences.
Right after my high school in 2o12,
He took me to one of his grocery shops to tend for it,
after a year he saw it fit to take me to his well established elementary school which has been in existence for 28years and i was 17 by then but out of obedience and reverence , i obeyed and went there as a bursar and administrator.
After some time , he called me to do a weekend course in computer science then after that he will give me half of the school to begin life with.
And that was where the disagreement began.
Up to this time, reading and writing was my biggest strength.
Honestly numbers and alphabets combined together really gets me off.
But my dad didnt really understand me on that side but out of obedience i complied and he gave me a car to run from school to work.
After 1year in the school, i lost interest in the computer science and dropped out. That caused a massive chaos at home , he rained words on me and that was it hit me that all this while i was living off his expectations. ...
family expectations can kill you,
people's expectations can be the reason why you over eat or in one or two addictions. trust me i will continue this very soon.. brb
