Chapter 1: The Good Life

Life started off for me in 2013, just after graduating high school and I had absolutely no fucking clue what I would do with myself. I filled out applications to some of the most prestigious schools in Lopynia and actually got in. But knowing that you wont be properly well taken care of by you life givers is just a huge turn off especially when all the numbers are 6 digits in pounds. Also filled out an application to one of the regional institutions, halfway because it had a registration fee and my both parents wasn't on that, despite what they might tell themselves. I had no boyfriend to be attached to except that one mixed Asian guy I was too dark for. Never had a passion for anything really, all I knew back than is that I wanted to be someone's wife. Have two kids and be in love and live happily ever after. I kind of also tricked myself into liking Marine biology because my school sent me to an on the job training programme where we looked at small ass organisms that told us shit about the environment. I understood all of it so I was smart as fuck and should definitely pursue this as an occupation (this is most definitely sarcasm). Also somewhere back in life my mother told me I should be a vet cause I liked animals. I guess it was true because I made ants farms and I loved our landlords' dog, I guess. This period of my life was filled with, guesses, self doubt and rash decisions and what made this funny is that I didn't even know it. I really thought I was running my shit. I got so use to just doing what ever because I was capable of doing. I never took the time to find out what truly makes my heart smile.

Remember that halfway filled out university application to our regional school, well I just so happened to get a call back from the persons in their. I remember that conversation clear as day.

'Hello Good afternoon is this Ms Lakefield?'

'hey, yeah speaking'

'I am calling from the East Prim College. I want to confirm weather or not you will be attending in September'

'Huh, what you said?'

'I am calling from the East Prim College. I want to confirm weather or not you will be attending in September'

'oh wow, you all got my application'

yes ma'am'...

Well you guys get the picture, I had options now but this call was like mid august and well did I mention how supportive my parents are, how was I going to get there. Well I informed my mother who I lived with that I got in and she was so happy for me. I insisted i wanted to go cause honestly living in that house was depressing. But by this time she already spent all her money to bring a con artist Octina Bishop to Cratia to preach, after having a fowl run in with another who was his friend but when ticket money and place to stay came up he turned on him (his friend) faster than Usian Bolt in a 100 meter sprint, But that's not my business to tell. I remained adamant until I got my ticket to leave and be far away from these hypocrites. The only person I truly would have missed was my rock, my brother Gabriel. Boy he is apart of every decision making in my life thus far.

You guys would think that your only daughter is going away to college also being the eldest that you would be helping her get stationary, sheets for her dorm, little momentums so she could remember the mother that you weren't but trying to be because she actually accomplished something in life. Well, NO! Night before my plane ride she went over by the godly bishop and stayed till the morning of flight reaching back late to carry me to the airport which she brought him along to wish me farewell, a creepy stranger instead of my brothers. But I surely couldn't be upset cause that would mean I have an attitude and I'm disrespectful. You know the funny thing... LIFE WAS STILL GOOD!
