Growing up in a Christian African home, It was always God or bad. There was little room for error or enough grace to grow.
As a child i used to tell everyone who bothered to listen how things should be. This is what the Bible says, this is what my mother says ……. I would go on until well either they changed or i stopped being their friend.
An African home would be deemed as proper when the kids act appropriately without questioning any adult. I was a proper child because i did as i was told always or as much as i could. I liked being the golden child. I was the golden child with no soul,no grace.
i recently turned thirty years and honestly i have to admit that i have grown out of the judgmental and somewhat inconsiderate attitude i was raised in. Also I don’t really have any friends.
i question religious beliefs a lot more and look for the best way to let peace and understanding prevail.
I have chosen to let humanity lead with all my relationships hence. Love is how we should exist with others, exhibiting grace and setting boundaries.
i am currently choosing relationships that can appreciate my phase of humanity. I like to be around people who give grace,show love and allow boundaries.
It took me thirty years to understand that humanity is really about creating a win win for everyone we meet.
