This is what freedom smells like
Today, I woke up with a sick feeling in my pit. Initially, I thought it was the aftereffects of watching Memoirs of the Geisha the night before. But as the day progressed, I gradually realised why I felt this way...
Tonight, I'm going to chair the Youth Council meeting for the last time. Considering all the crap that I've been through the past three years, I thought this day would sweep past like a breeze and I would savour the last moments of relinquishing this huge responsibility that has been placed on my shoulders. I had even started making plans for a mini-party come 5 February.
But, for some strange reason, I feel almost reluctant to let go. I feel like I've been doing this all my life that it has become a part of me. How can something which feels so right suddenly feel so wrong? Perhaps it's just sentiments. Maybe it's habit. Whatever the reason is, no matter how difficult it is to let go, I know that change is inevitable. In fact, I ought to look forward to this change, both for myself and for the youths.
It's a good thing, I must remember...And so must you, (those who are standing for elections), don't ever think about giving up even before you begin the journey. God has called you to greatness so embrace this privilege, hold His hand and soar to unreachable heights.
