My Journey into Software Development

My first Social media post in 5 years. This is a long time coming. It's feels weird saying this to a bunch of strangers, but i think its time. I had a little mental health episode dating back to when i was 16, and i haven't been the same since. I was someone who lived in his head and this felt like death. My drive to do anything was forever altered. i stopped improving mentally, physically and the list goes on. I graduated in 2019. I have been looking for the next step in my journey, i decided to push it aside till after my NYSC which started in Nov 2019. NYSC for those who don't know, it's a one year mandatory service year for Nigerian graduates. This is where i found one of the most arrogant individual till date. I actually wouldn't have cared, but he kept playing those mental games that leaves me exhausted by the end of the day. This set me back on my progress on forgetting the past. I was actually grateful for the lockdown cuz, it helped a lot mentally. Long story cut short, i found a purpose again. I want to solve two problems in my life time. The first problem is one of choice and the second is a little personal, but i relies on the first one going has planned. In order to solve this problem i needed to learn how to program, which is why am starting today.
