There's a gnawing sense of dread that washes over me when I consider the future; that of myself and the world at large. Will AI really take over, rendering me unemployable and without a source of income? Will I be happy? Living in the country of my dreams or settle for a quiet neighbourhood on Probyn street, Lagos?

I say dread because like you I cannot control the future, and because in some way the future-- my future, is a combination of my actions and inactions. If I have no idea what the future holds, what do I know to do?

As a christian, when this cloud of dread beings to form over me, I hold up the umbrella of hope and when it begins to pour, the waters collide with the words I affirm, declaring that the Lord is the light that illuminates my darkness and that all I have to do is keep my mind stayed on him so I can be kept in perfect peace.

I love this piece, thanks Ehae.

For me it's ensuring that my fears about the future do not hinder me from living fully today.
