DREAMS DELAYED ARE NOT DREAMS DENIED


Everyone has a specific dream: a dream job, dream career, or other special dreams people see themselves achieving. Some dreams come true much sooner and when you least expect them, while some take more time to come true.

Very few people live their dreams through inheritance, which they have received on a silver platter. Most people had to sweat and go through so much trouble to make their dreams come true. Their dreams required them to toughen up although it was not easy. They faced some tough challenges that seemed impossible for them to overcome, but they still strived to achieve their dreams.

A few months back, I came across an online magazine called Calf Magazine. It is an online magazine owned by a young dedicated and hard-working woman. She details in one of the articles that during her high school years she faced so much hardship that led her into depression. Her dream was to become a make-up artist, and eventually she pursued her dream. With everything she went through in her life, she did not want her dream to fade without giving it a fight. It is an inspiring story. It leads one to understand that when one person thinks of giving up, they should dig deep within themselves to believe in themselves that what they are facing today will eventually be overcome.

Well, I didn’t believe that dreams can come true but after reading her blog, she has inspired me that they eventually come true but with the dedication and effort you put towards your dreams. Some people are now living their dreams because they did not let their dreams pass by without a fight. Even though sometimes dreams may not come true at the time when you want and wish they can, but it doesn’t mean giving up in life is an option. Remember that dreams delayed are not dreams denied.

Well, I still have to think about my dream though, but for those who have them, strive to achieve them and never give up. They may be delayed, but they will come true.

MY SECRET LIFE IN JOBURG

Image
“You look too young to be travelling alone, where are you heading to my girl?”, asked the man I was sitting next to in the taxi on my long journey to Joburg. “Well, do you have to look old for you to travel alone?”, I replied with a fake smile. He was perhaps in his 40s, and I was definitely not interested in any further engagements with him. Deep down in my heart I kept asking myself the very same question the man had posed. I never wanted to tell anyone where my journey was leading to, but Soweto was my final destination. I had communicated with some girls I knew that I would be coming over to stay with them. They did not mind. In fact, they were very encouraging. It had been three years since I finished my matric and my life has been nothing but miserable. My senior certificate was as good as nothing. I tried applying to study universities and a college but I was rejected. In fact, I was rejected four times in different universities. I also tried looking for a job but even that ...

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Fathers! What good have fathers done for this world that is worth celebrating? How should the children of the world see their fathers in this world filled with so many crises? So, here we are, today is Father’s Day, and we get to reflect once again. This is a day to recognize and honour fathers for the contribution they make towards the lives of their children. Here we talk about mineworkers, teachers, unemployed fathers, and all the fathers who make sacrifices to ensure that their children have a better life. They are often away from home, and this sometimes leads to people failing to understand their role in their children’s lives. Fathers remain the major providers of their families, especially from a financial aspect, but that does not come easily. Some, as workers, experience abuse from their bosses at their workplaces, while others work overtime to bring the best to their children. Others risk their lives to support their children and families. Although in most cases th...

MY WEDDING DAY NIGHTMARE

“Wake up! Wake up! Today is a very special day for you, remember! Look how beautiful the day is outside. It shows that my beautiful lastborn daughter is getting married today!”Those were joyful words from my mother, very proud and shouting while opening the windows wide open. I could feel the early breeze hitting my face very softly which woke me up. It was a warm Saturday morning. I could feel that it was indeed a special day. People were already busy moving up and down outside on the yard. Some were singing while doing their respective chores, doing final touch-ups for the big day ahead. Others were getting  everything ready with their beautiful outfits. I could smell and see the smoke outside. Cooking of a large feast was in progress. I was so excited but nervous at the same time. I could not stop thinking silently about a lot of things that might happen. Wrong things. I could not stop asking myself so many questions: What if he doesn’t show up? What if someone s...
