Purpose

Purpose

A Story by Olita Tupou

Jenna has a mind of her own. Not until, she met Timmy.
Timmy is a happy go lucky, who follows a book of rules like clockwork.
This book of rules is a book according to Timmy.
Now when Jenna was growing up, she was very talented. She won speech competitions, essay writings and what not. This was not a big deal to Jenna. Didn't mean much, bother much or care much, was just something she did.
Years later, when Jenna was in University, she took a literature class. She felt a spark, she wrote a short story about fantasy train rider-
Course tutor singled her out. Told her write me something again. But Jenna never got the chance. Her family moved abroad.
Now, Jenna finds a new hobby.
In the age of the Internet, chatting is another way to share her mind.
She. documented her experience on her diary. In those days, one's diary was the crown jewels, one's mind unlock in secret.
There were few problems compared to today. Now Dear Facebook must tell all, share all,
Jenna's secrets were out. Her Aunty found her diary. Tells Jenna off, Jenna burnt that diary, bury her passion for. writing, lock her talents away.

Until she met Timmy. Timmy was not a writer, words mean nothing. Timmy was a doer. One day, Timmy invited Jenna to a party. But it was not just any party
It was a stand up comedy gig.
When they arrived, the host announced that the next gig will be a performance from a struggling writer named Jenna.
Jenna had no idea. But it was too late, spotlight was on her, crowds were applauding, it's time she takes the stage.

Ready or not, she has to be a stand up now. She feels a warm pat on her back. It's Timmy. Go do your thing. It's tine, Find your purpose.

Jenna hesitated for a moment. Then memories of her journey comes rushing back. Yes she will talk about that.
Jenny was a natural. She made the audience laughed, at her struggles, her mishaps. They seemed to be having a good time.
Jenna smiled in her heart. It is happening now. Your purpose will find you. You had it with you all along. Just need a little push
Take the stage, take it now, Own ut, Enjoy it
The end
