Khartoum, Sudan

I'm a 23 yo engineer from Sudan, currently studying french and doing my MSc at University of Khartoum.

I aspire to become a great geodesist, that's why I decided to do a research on the field and continue studying it after obtaining my BSc in general surveying (Geomatics).

I also have a life long dream of becoming a writer, I think I can achieve that if I gave it more time, I wanna be able to write like Franz Kafka one day .

Early mid-life crisis

Jun 03, 2018 5 years ago

So, I'm 22 Years old now, and I can't help but wonder where've all these years gone, I don't remember viewing it as a big deal when I turned 21, but now you wonder, what have I done? What am I doing with my life? And what am I to do? Every minute matters now.\nI feel like a middle-aged woman who -while hopelessly waiting for marriage- missed out on life, and as a result achieved next to nothing, I'm not ofcourse waiting for marriage, but I've spent a good part of my life waiting for something, Leonardo davinci said that \\"People of accomplishments rarely sat back and let things happen to them, they went out and happened to things\\" and that couldn't be any more truer.\nAt 22 Mozart had already composed 12 operas, Zuckerberg of Facebook and karp of tumblr, were also already successful at this age. Jane austin wrote her second novel pride and prejudice. And Leonardo himself was a well-known sculptor and painter. And here's me in the picture above, at 22.\nDont get me wrong, I'm not comparing myself here to these worldy talents, that would be absurd. But achievements come more through consistent hard-work than pure talent, and this, I haven't done.\nI've lost a few years due to bad education, I've missed out on opportunities because of the coincidence that brought me in a specific geographic spot, but the one that faced no troubles in his life is non-existent, and only the weak use it as an excuse, goals are rarely achieved in ease, unanticipated issues always occur, how you deal with them is the key, it's just what defines who you are. And building on this point, I could loudly say that it's on me, everything, even if I had absolutely no hand in it. Because if you think other-wise then it's excuses after excuses, and it won't help.
