THE THING ABOUT ASSUMING.



Hello there, how did your day go?
My day was amazing, I did spend quality time with one of my best persons. We were basically indoors all day long as we caught up with various stuff. 

Well, on my way to her place, I boarded a tricycle(keke). Given that I hadn't been there before, I told the driver the location she gave me so he could stop me there. 

"Sir, I'd stop by the Funcare hotel", I said. The driver retorted that he didn't know the place, and all at once the other people in the vehicle questioned in shock because that was a famous hotel along the road. The driver's reply to this was that he didn't have any business to do in a hotel, he said this with a disgusted expression. 

At this rate, I already understood what he was driving at. A young girl dropping at a hotel, what comes to mind? I just laughed in my head at how quickly the driver assumed. 

Funny enough, my friend's place was just beside the hotel. When I arrived I told her the story and she wasn't surprised, "That's how they do", she said. 

The driver had perhaps thought I was going to the hotel, which if I were, was none of his business. It is somehow to just conclude about a person who you don't know. 

Don't assume, and try keeping to your business. 

The thing about assumption is that, when you assume you make a fool out of yourself.

"NOT ADMITTED"

She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
