The life of a man

Sitting or probably lying down, can't say which, just sitting on a bed meant for lying, I ponder on what to say, how to say it and when to even say anything. Could this be writer's block, could it be a case of a simple mental block? Could it be general or specific?

I look at the time when all I see is obscurity, when the clock slowly ticks toward what the serious time, a time when I know it's all about decisions amd choices. Choices which might not favor me, choices which are hard but choices which are necessary.

A man must go out into the world and practically leave everything else at some point amd focus on the future before him. He must plan to leave home and start his own life and totally accept that the dawn of change has arrived.

The personal journey has begun, a metamorphosis, a transformation, a movement from the base to the top.
This is a period so tough especially when he hears the ticking of the clock, slowly but surely dancing towards the tune of a clockwise verdict.

In African cultures, a man is considered a failure if he doesn't achieve some things, now he must achieve them and not hesitate to become an achiever.
But this is not an African tale, it is a tale of reality, a tale where men become men by outgrowing boyhood.

He gets to that point where priorities change, it becomes about starting from a goal amd adding other goals along the way. There is no stopping, he must simply gather things and prepare for the life to come. He starts to think about investments, savings, expenses which are meaningful and then it graduates to looking for a girlfriend whom he makes a fiance, then makes a wife and then a mother.

The kids start rolling in, the bills start pouring in and it all starts from a decision that it is time.
He simply does the basic stuff, get a real place, furnish it and move in. Who else remembers that part of the job? The life of a man is hard but he has to accomodate the stress and still perform what is expected of him.

Beautifully written @ehiboss! I loved reading this....#boyztomen

The life of a man is hard but he has to accommodate the stress and still perform what is expected of him.

The stress and the burdens will be 50% or more lightened if he picks the right kind of woman as his wife. She would be his support system, his biggest fan and his greatest advocate. So he needs to choose an asset, not just a trophy. Picking the right woman is usually a make or mar event and it pre-determines how hard or easy life would be for the man #speakingfromexperience

Cheers!

Wow this is amazing. Thank you so much

Yayyyy! So glad you think so! Cheers & well done with prep for SIN2. You are so amazing too

Yeah, it's shit. I just want to pack up and go to sleep. So much pressure is put on men to be a certain beast. Why do we have to be the providers and achievers? Why can't the women?

The life of man is a puzzle that cannot be determined until the end. We come to crossroads, bends and turns that we never anticipated.

At a younger age, we plan to tour the world and dream big, but as we advance in life, these prioritirs slowly change as we begin to see another side of life
