Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 103: Tomorrow.

Introduction

Sometimes before today even finish, my mind don already move to tomorrow. I don’t even know why it happens like that. Maybe it’s just normal for people to think ahead. Tomorrow always feels close but you can’t touch it, like one thing hiding outside the door. I sit down and start asking myself small questions about it what am I waiting for, what I would change if I could, how to make it better, and what new thing I want to meet.

What are you most looking forward to tomorrow?

First thing, I just want to wake up. Simple like that. Open my eyes and know say I’m still alive. I don’t take that part lightly anymore because some people go to bed and never wake up again. waking up to a bright new day is a gift.
Today , everything came one after the other, I had no time to rest my head. It felt like I was chasing time but still behind. Tomorrow I want at least one calm hour, no phone buzzing, no one calling my name. Just peace.
Food too enters my mind. Not because I’m too hungry, but because breakfast has its own comfort. I imagine hot tea, bread toasted enough so butter melts quick. That little thing makes the day softer. It’s small but it changes mood.
And if I talk true, I hope for some good news. Not big breaking news, just a simple message from a friend I’ve not spoken to in weeks. Or one kind of small thing that can change how I feel. So really, what I’m looking forward to is light, calm, and some human touch.

If you could change one thing about tomorrow, what would it be?

I think about time first. The way days pass too quick, like sand slipping through hand. Tomorrow I’d like to stretch. Not make it endless, just enough so that a talk can last longer, or a walk doesn’t feel like a race.
Another thing is worry. Tomorrow always comes with fear carried from today. What if things break, what if something goes wrong? If I could change tomorrow, I would clear that weight. Let it arrive clean.
Life also no balance. Some people step into tomorrow holding plenty, others carry nothing. If I could touch that, I’d make it fair, even a little.
And maybe if I’m bold, I’d switch off all the bad news for a day. No war stories, no loss, no crying faces on the screen. Just one day where the world breathes light. That would be the best change I could make.
So yes, if I could bend tomorrow, I’d slow down time, throw away fear, and quiet sorrow. I can’t really do it, but I can still dream.

How can you make tomorrow a little better than today?

I don’t control much, but I can do small things. One of them is to sleep early. If I rest well, tomorrow starts smoother. I already know this, but still I waste hours at night scrolling or thinking about useless things. If I close my eyes on time, tomorrow will be easier.
Cleaning my space helps as well. If I leave things scattered, tomorrow feels heavy the moment I wake. But if I arrange it tonight, I enter the day lighter.
And I can plan small. Instead of writing down ten goals, I can keep just one or two. Read five pages, take a walk. If I do only that, I won’t drown. So yes, to make tomorrow better, I don’t need anything big. Just rest, tidy up, watch my words, and keep my list short.

What is one thing you want to learn or experience tomorrow?

Patience is first. Not talking about patience, but showing it. Today I rushed and got angry when things didn’t come quickly. Tomorrow I want to breathe and wait without snapping. That would be progress for me.
Then laughter. Not small fake laugh, but real laughter that shakes you and leaves your cheek hurting. That type of laughter can carry me through the day.
I want to also learn something new. Even if it’s small. Maybe from a book, maybe in a conversation. The world is too wide not to pick up one small fact, one word, one idea. That alone makes tomorrow feel richer.
And I want peace. Not world peace, just inside me. A few minutes where I sit silent, nothing pulling me, nothing breaking my thought. That kind of stillness feels like medicine, and I would like to have it tomorrow.
So the list is patience, laughter, knowledge, and quiet. That’s what I want to meet.

Closing reflection

When I sit and answer these questions, I notice they all connect. Looking forward, changing, making better, learning — they don’t stand apart. They are like one cloth cut in four pieces. The way I think of tomorrow shapes how it will feel when it comes,
Tomorrow is like a canvas waiting. Not clean white because today always stains it, but still with space for new paint. Every stroke matters, even mistakes. The painting itself is what gives tomorrow its life.
So if I wake and breath is still in me, I’ll try again. I’ll look for light, turn fear into calm, make small choices that soften the day, and learn even one new thing. That will be enough for tomorrow.

Final words

Tho, tomorrow is not really sure, I don’t know what will happen, but I want to step into it with hope. If I find light, a little calm, some kindness, maybe laughter too, then tomorrow has given me enough. And when it ends, I will face the next one the same way.

I invite @samuelbrilliant @calculuseyo1 @promisezella to participate in this contest.
