“Nobody is coming to save you.”

You know how in secondary school, if you couldn’t do certain things, it was easy to hide it.

For example, I can’t draw.

I went through secondary school as a science student and somehow managed to escape anything that involved drawing. I would always joke about not being able to draw even a straight line to save my life. That was my cover up.

But the funny thing is, the problem you run away from today, how do you plan to solve it tomorrow?

If you don’t have a strategy, trust me, it will surely come back to meet you.

So today, I spent most of my time practising how to draw a microscope. I had a lab practical, and one of the tasks was to draw a microscope. And of course, there wouldn’t be enough time inside the lab.

My first attempt was very laughable. And guess what? It even got worse with each trial.

It only confirmed the conclusion I had drawn long ago, “I can’t draw.”

But still, I tried.

I entered the practical hall and gave it my best shot.

Because at the end of the day, nobody is coming to save you.

Everyone in the hall was busy drawing theirs, trying to make the most of their time. Who would I even beg for help?

Dearest reader, the truth is, at certain levels of life, nobody is coming to save you.

There are stages where you can get away with some things, but as you climb higher, you just can’t.

You have to save yourself.

Because las las, nobody is coming to save you.
