It’s so surprising how one can become so experienced within a space of 7 days.
I remember being told and even telling people that “Experience is not by age” but I didn’t get it till last week.
Within seven days, I’ve experienced almost all emotions existent on planet Earth.
I even understood properly the abstract noun taught to me in high school
“Things you can neither see nor touch” - talk about fear, hurt, pain, anger, etc
I housed so many abstract nouns within these seven days.
I should qualify to be a collective noun right?
Wait, why am I using so many grammar terms?
Mathematics has always been my forte.
Yes, they say Mathematics is life and I agree but in this situation,
I can't explain myself in a way that you’d understand using mathematics.
Maybe a degree or should I say degrees in Applied Mathematics would do the trick right?
If you’ve ever gone through the articles on this space, I’m definitely sure you’re surprised why my writing is taking this path or form.
I can only thank the past seven days.
I grew!
I changed!
For the better?
No idea yet but what’s life without changes though no matter how temporary it may seem.
Embrace that change today though. I’m embracing mine now.
Am I scared that some people would no longer read my publications?
Very very scared!
So far, that’s the most recurrent abstract noun I house.
This month, in particular, has made me house large amounts of fear frequently.
But above all, the hurt that accompanied different occurrences or conversations per se was shattering.
Maybe one day, I’d type out all I wrote in my note pad those fateful nights as I allowed tears to drop and stain my writing sheet.
Or maybe I won’t!
But what matters is that I rose above it all.
Above the hurt, the pain, the anger, the worries, the regrets, and so many others to move on with my life.
You can do the same too. It would seem like everything is over but even though I’m about to sound cliche now - there’s usually light at the end of every tunnel.
Yes, I know, we live in a very sad world, and people only remember us when they’re gaining from us but would that stop us from forging ahead?
Not me!
As I look back now, I think I’m grateful for the pain, hurt, and all of those sad abstract nouns I housed.
It taught me a lot!
Be thankful for the abstract nouns you house too.
Maybe one day, we’d become certified and recognized collective nouns.
