The Journey to Rediscovering myself by Mercy Oluchi Eluchie

Awka-When we were born, each and everyone of us was given a gift by God, some recognized it at an early stage while it took others time to develop it, I always loved writing whether it was stories, songs or essays and I recognized it very early and it became a part of my identity and until one day I just lost it, at first I thought it was just writer’s block and that it would come back and so I waited for days, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and those months turned into years until I finally gave up and decided to quit it altogether, however losing the ability to turn my thoughts into words made me feel like I had lost a very important part of myself and so I retreated into from became a shell of my former self and I never truly felt whole again
Fast forward a couple years later, I started to feel the itch and that passion rekindling bit by bit and when it was time to write my JAMB I just decided to take a chance and put Mass Communication and when I got my admission it felt like God was finally aligning me with my destiny. It hasn’t been easy but then nothing good ever is, and so I decided to join the UCJ Unizik to hone those skills that I had once lost and through the first few months writing was difficult but now it’s getting better.

I won’t say that I’ve fully healed however I have changed for the better and now those parts of me that I lost, I’m finding them again and one day I’ll become better than I ever was
