Today I'm celebrating 5 years since I came to the UK - I was watching the TV on Americans remembering the terror attacks 5 years ago. I was just leaving Heathrow airport when the streaming live pictures started being relayed.
Sad day indeed. I remember how I had to look for a calling card to get in touch with my family.
So Yes 5 years! Time is moving so fast. It is time to count my blessings.
I'd say the biggest achievement was to finish university here and gain ACCA Affiliate and of course managed to put aside some money in my account. On that front I have been blessed. It is easy to make plans before you arrive here but totally another thing to actually realize what you set out to do.
The Pressure.
Only yesterday I was thinking maybe it's time to move (Not maybe - IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON!)I guess it is because as they say time is not a friend to wait for you. Generally though the 5 years have been successful. The friends I came with are all doing well, we are scattered but keep in touch and life has treated us well. We all still agree that home is always the best place for us.
So I'm happy for myself, the small achievements - I believe my stay here (God knows how many more years!) has been good - I've grown older and wiser to the ways of the world. Even believed I can be who I want to be and actually stand on the verge of being just that.
It's been real.
