When I was in Nigeria I was not scared of anything even though people normally say Nigeria is not safe I was not scared that something could happen to me. When it comes to my future, I only think about it and make plans because I believe worrying or being scared won’t change anything. I had a worry-free life, but everything changed when I got married, and nothing prepared me for what I was about to face.

Before marriage, I was always relaxed, living life as it was and thinking it would get better eventually, but marriage changed me. Since day one of marriage, I have been living in constant fear of becoming a better man for my wife and daughter. This pressure comes as a result of having a good father. My father died many many years ago but everything I am today is a result of him considering me when he was alive. I can still feel his impact in my life.

Trying isn’t enough but what can we do without trying?

I am trying to become a better man for my wife and my daughter and give them the life I never had, The opportunity I did not have. I moved to a new country to make this a reality but my journey for one year has been tough and I have been living in constant fear that what if I fail and the truth is, I failed in everything I have tried in this country But I will just keep trying to get it right.

Now there is something I live for there is something that puts me on my toes every day; there is something that makes me want to get out of bed and I don’t just expect Life and let it come as it is. I’m making plans and doing everything I can just to get it right because I don’t want to be a disappointment to my daughter and I don’t just want to have an impact; I want to live long enough to be there for her. I just have to keep trying.

The truth is, she let me see the beauty in me because every time I look at her, the only question I normally ask myself is. How am I able to create something in this beauty? She’s so beautiful and I will keep trying not to let that beauty fade away.

Aww… you have the right motivation and reason to keep going and this gives me the assurance that you will definitely get to where you need and want to be both for yourself and your family.
