Life Reflection: I Remember…

The Question is why do our paths change  in life?
I remember when I was young. I used to be very carefree. I wanted to live my life peacefully without disturbance.
I remember that the only thing that could give me joy and peace were drawing and painting. I hated reading books and was indifferent about schooling.
Visual Art
I remember whenever anyone asked me what I wanted to do with my life when I am older, I would gladly and proudly tell them “I want to be an Artist (Visual). I carried this notion throughout secondary (high) school also.


I remember that as a young girl, I would dream of traveling round the world, making friends, living a free-willed life and having the best time of my life and never come back to Nigeria, I finally traveled abroad. However, within two weeks of traveling, I started begging my father to let me come back home for holiday (what and irony).

I remember that had the opportunity to go for an international visual art competition when I was in SS2. However, I couldn’t go because I had to write GCE  in preparation for my forth-coming WASSCE (West African Secondary School Certificate Examination) in SS3 (so that I would not mess up) lol.
However, 11 years down the line, I have metamorphosed, changed career interest from law, to communications to international development. I summary, I have a bachelor’s degree in Communications and a master’s degree in International relations and Development Studies and now work with  a communications company in Nigeria.
The question is “What changed along the line? Is it my interests or view about life?
Once a while, I reflect over my life and try to visualize how my life would have turned out if I had become a visual artist. Would I have been happy, sad or living a better part of my life? Please share your experiences and reflections over your lives ( with pictures if possible) and let us evaluate how it has turned out. Is it for better or worse?

    Nice piece, Kenny. I consider writing an art, I may be wrong. You are still an artist. You write a lot. Maybe you could write something that others could develop into something (more) visual. I am an accountant. I always knew that I would be an accountant. And I know that I will always be in the fields of Finance, Investment and Financial Management.
