BLISSFUL COINCIDENCE.




Hello dear

How was day? I trust you had a nice day. Here's a funny story from mine.

Yesterday I boarded a keke(Tricycle) on my way back from work, the driver was truly annoying. We had beforehand discussed where I'd alight but oga kept complaining about how far it is, and how he wished he hadn't carried me. 

Honestly, I felt bad, to the extent that I wanted him to stop me so I can take another keke(Tricycle), but he just continued on. Even when he got to my street junction he said he would make sure not to carry me next time and I retorted that I would rather trek than enter his vehicle. 

Fast-forward this evening, you know it rained heavily today, so it was very difficult to get a keke going to my direction giving that it's far. Standing in the rain shivering from the cold wind and ever pouring rain drops, I waited and waited, and then finally a keke stopped, unfortunately it was the same guy from yesterday. Chai, I just weak.

The road was almost deserted, it was getting late and the rain had no intentions of stopping anytime soon. He immediately complained when he saw it was me and I told him to go on that I'd find another, and then instantly thought of how long i will have to wait for another vehicle, i had to swallow my pride and called him back. 

It is better to enter an annoying keke ride rather than get drained in the rain, i thought to myself. Funny enough the ride wasn't half bad, myself and the driver talked and laughed about yesterday's encounter and how we had sworn to never ride together. 

He also apologized for being that way yesterday and offered to carry me free though I objected. The driver was having a bad day yesterday and that resulted to his behavior, it was truly a blissful coincidence to enter same vehicle twice in a row, it has never happened before. 

Dearest reader, what did you learn from my story? For me, I got that we should never say never, the probability of meeting same driver twice is less than one yet it did happen. And also try to swallow your mind when necessary, I did save me from getting soaked by the rain.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
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 ...
