It's been 4 whole years since I wrote a story. In the past 4 years my life has changed. I have grown and I'm still growing. I have been proposed to and I declined. I have made mistakes and I have learnt from them. In the past 4 years I have learnt to cater for myself and my loved ones. I have become an adult. A woman. In the past four years the economy of my country has dwindled and is now a wreck. People are suffering everyday trying to make ends meet. In a country where survival is difficult but vital I have tried and I'm still trying to not only survive but succeed. My success story isn't here yet. My survival mode is still on default. I haven't achieved my dreams yet, but I am working on it. I am working on being the best I can be because I don't want anything less. I am working on becoming woman. And that, is okay.&nbsp;
