STILL SURVIVING- BY YUSHAB ABOLORE AYOMIDE

Yes, I'm still surviving. 

Today, I'm reflecting on the turbulent storm that was the month of October, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the sheer weight of the challenges that rained down upon me. 

It seemed as though every aspect of my life was under attack—financially, physically, medically, mentally, psychologically, academically, even in matters of the heart. I was battered, bruised, and left questioning my own resilience.

But here I am, despite it all, standing tall at the beginning of a new month, on the 1st of November. The scars of last month's battles are still fresh, but my spirit remains unbroken. 

The trauma, the fears, the pains—I carried them all, and I emerged on the other side as a survivor.

Today, as I look forward with cautious optimism, I find peace of mind in the belief that better days lie ahead. 

I cling to hope like a lifeline, praying for a shift in the tides, for positivity to flood my life once more.

I refuse to be defined by the struggles that sought to break me. Instead, I choose to see them as stepping stones on my journey to a brighter future. 

I will not lose faith in myself, for I know that within me lies the strength to weather any storm.

May this month herald the beginning of a new chapter, one filled with promise, growth, and blessings beyond measure. 

I hold onto the belief that positive changes are on the horizon, ready to transform my life for the better.

I am still standing. I am still surviving. And no matter what lies ahead, I will face it head-on, with unwavering hope in my heart. The best is yet to come, and I embrace it with open arms.

Here's to a new beginning, a fresh start, and a future filled with endless possibilities. Today, on the 1st of November, I declare that I am ready for whatever lies ahead.
