HURTFUL TRUTH

Most often than not, The grass is greener on the other side because it is fake. abstract. Utopian and non- existent. phantom. A mirage. farce. A tiny,self assuring thought niggling at the back of the mind; Inside the head that there is a better place somewhere not entirely where we are right now.Of course this doesn't put down the place of modest aspiration and goal setting in any man's life which is not what i am talking about in this respect.
You ever gotten to a level of a supposed successful target only to look back on all the pain and suffering /dissipated strength it took to get there and there is no satisfaction. no fulfillment. bland empty feeling.
It is so lonely at the top. Sometimes.
which depends on what your supposed 'top' is. What is that dream we see even when our eyes aren't shut?
These affluent persons wouldn't tell you the part of the story i seek to share on this medium today. You want them to tell you how they can't find trust worthy friends because wealth has brought some type of paranoia?
How they can't sleep in the night because of the thoughts in the mind?
How they cant leave their houses because of camera's and paparazzi wanting to make small jokes and feed off them?
How they can't take a few break and patronize mama Nkechi roadside bliss for just a moment or two...
The rich wear a mask. Unfortunately it cannot come off without peeling some skin with it leaving behind a ugly open scar. marred. repulsive.
There is always a price to pay for everything even success.
The joy and the eternal happiness can only be found in the 'process' and not in the destination.
You don't have to try to envisage what is on the other side.
Leave that pressure alone Onyeka.
You don't have to bend till you break. breathe. just breathe.
Enjoy the journey, It is the story that matters more
