[A depiction of how I started.]

Life comes in phases. We all have to change along the line, from crawling to walking and to running, finally to the compulsory walking stick stage if we are chance by God to witness it. But along the line, we've all faced challenges, ones that make or mar us. I termed the one that ends up good; heroic. We are a product of our choice, and the grave decision makes us villains in our own stories. Things we remember and shake, regretting them.

I’ve made a life-changing decision, some, I regret ever toeing the line because they later became an addition that took years to stop. But one was mind-blowing, and that’s what I want to talk about here as a response to the @galenkp post asking me a question of which I’m going to answer two that I found to be similar.

Q1.
When was the first time you took your destiny into your own hands - what did you do, what made you do so, what was the outcome and would you change anything looking back in hindsight?

Q2
Tell us about when you first moved out of home and took control of your own life independently of your parents. Were you nervous or excited by the prospect? Were you forced to leave or was it by choice? How did the process go - smoothly or were there problems?

I’ll start with the first one. By the end of 2018, I was already tired of staying with my parent, a young man above 28 yrs. Old then, not having a decent 9-5 job, only steemit then, posting regularly on steemit, entering the contest and so on, I could at least feed myself, and afford some basic amenities, but I wanted more. The Steemit In Nigeria 2 came then in Oct 28-Nov 4 and the blockchain became an eye-opener. I finally left my parent's house and stay “cryptofied”. We were paid 100 steem then for attending and that was the amount I used to pay my first house rent. Left my parents’ house with nothing upon me, only a bed and clothes. Only relying on funds from steemit. Days of market dump means nothing, a pump means food in the house. And I continue like that for a year till I got a job as a Diction-in English. Worked for more than a year before Corona sets in and continues working till now.

If you ask me if I was nervous, no, I wasn’t. Though my mum was worried that how could a jobless guy sustain himself. I was already tired of staying home with no relevance to anyone. Moving out was the real deal. The first year of staying out of my parents's house was a tough one. I must confess, I was hungry for days. Poor had to borrow. But I thank God now. Hive has changed my story.

Staying alone also made me work harder, enter so many contests and challenges, comment vigorously as against these days when I just drop posts, few comments and leave because I'm now involved in trading, airdrop, Algo ASA adding and many more. I have upgraded life since I met Hive. I’ve been more open to the blockchain more than ever due to the focused crypto and investment content coming from LeoFinance. It was there I see the need to understand many DeFi terms, APY, APR, ROI, Launchpad and many more.

I soared higher with Hive and Hive-engine tokens; they fed me in the days where there was no food, providing a passive source of income. The whole of the covid-19 era was all thanks to Hive reward coming in. I was constantly staking my sportstalksocial and enjoying passive reward. It surprised many how I survived, didn’t borrow from anyone as many do. The blockchain fed me, I got introduced to other social media blockchain-inspired Dapp too, Like Minds, Uptrend, Uhive and many more. We got the little we could from it and it was helpful.

Four years down the line, I’ve never regretted leaving my parents’ house, even my parent are happy now that I left. God has enlarged my coast, we are all happy. Presently, I was able to afford buying myself a laptop on a online store, though not delivered yet, but it's paid for, funds from Hive reward.

I'll advise anyone who wants to leave his or her parent's house and has come of age to do so. Provided you have the resources enough to do it. A job, a business that you’re sure it’s going to help you through.

Then to the last question.

Q3
Tell us about the first time you met your current partner - where did you meet? Was it a setup date or happenstance and was it instant attraction, or did it rise slowly like the incoming tide? - If you like, you may do a fictional story for this one, or post about the true story.

I'll quickly rush over since I’m not married yet but in a relationship and will soon tie the knot. I met my love in the church; it was raining heavily that Sunday morning. As usual, whenever it’s raining, church attendance always goes low. But this sister was in church albeit. I have to ask a fellow brother in the church who was this sister who could make it to church despite this rain. Her face is unfamiliar. The brother told me she’s coming from a very far distance and always surprised at how she always make it to church early before anyone, with or without it, rain. From there, I grew fond of her and wanted to connect with her, but couldn’t. The eagerness died down with time.

Some months after, she came into the section asking for the church account number for tithe and offering and I asked for her number. Came online to ask her when was her birthday and the rest they say is history. I’ve found fulfilment in this girl more than I could ever. God has used her to shape my life for good. I've been blessed since she came into my life. My prayer is that this love will fully materialized into marriage as soon as possible.

PS: I wouldn’t be able to share our picture here since it’s not yet time to do so.

I have had no pet before and haven’t travelled out of the country. I’ve had many kisses back in my promiscuous days but no true love first kiss.

I guess I’ve answered all the questions posed by @galenkp in a contest
HERE and deserve a trophy for this.

Till next time guys. Au revoir. 🖐️🖐️
