Being Single Sucks! (Pt. 1)

I know what you’re thinking, but you know I’m right. At first, being single was freedom for me, I mean I could do whatever, not thinking of buying a gift, more like, living the life. I’ve been single for a year now or so and I can beat my chest and say it really sucks!!! Y’all know that there’s no way I won’t give you the gist before confessing to you why being single sucks, right?

First, I was really happy being single, I mean finally free from the whole negative sides of relationships. I dated someone for 3 months, and he was my friend’s brother. The whole liking thing was weird at first but then the story changed. He likes me was weird because his ex was freaking hot, I mean absolutely hot and I’m just one skrep (just there) girl. She was like every man’s dream girl. Well, they broke up but they were, nonetheless, friends, weird right? Lol, I’m indeed using this weird word. Back then, I do visit my friend but never really spoke to her brother, it was just hello and that was it. Until the day of his convocation which transformed everything. I was invited to the convocation by my friend and her mum which I accepted. We drove all the way to Benin Republic from Nigeria, I must say, it was a long ass journey but we did reach our destination. The ceremony had started already, so we arranged where we would sit and eat.

He showed up, greeted his parents and his sister and then looked at me smiling, I had to look back to check if I was the one he was smiling at. He walked up to me and said “Thanks for coming, and I really appreciate” and he hugged me before I could respond. Since then, he had been always on my mind. The warmth from the hug made me sweat and trust me I thought was the weather lol and that was how we started talking.

I started visiting my friend more often because I just wanted to see his face. From there, we got extremely close and then feelings came in. We both liked each other and we started dating but I felt uneasy because of his ex. The fact, they were still in touch and my friend really liked her. I just couldn’t tell my friend I was dating because I was scared of her reaction…let's leave it here for now.

Life as an Unemployed (Pt. 2)

Things began to change, she was always nagging, gossiping and being aggressive. I forgot to mention that she has a pregnant friend or should I say gossip partner that always come to the shop acting all high and mighty. Probably, I should say something about this pregnant friend because she is actually the reason for me writing this story. I met this pregnant lady for the first time at the shop; We were all smiles and all and then the gossip began. She wore a nice top which I liked, while she was talking to the tailor, she mentioned a market and then I stepped my boundary by asking which market she bought her top and the next thing I got was  this stern look from her and she replied, “Am I talking to you?” ouch! I really felt that in my system but I had to just pretend like it didn’t get to me, yeah right lol. Since then, I’ve disliked her. I told the tailor, she could have answered me politely, and the tailor said the pregnant lady thought I don’t go to the market to buy...

Life as an Unemployed (Pt. 1)

I beat my chest sometimes saying, is this really me in this position? I see most of my course mates from university working with reputable companies and I began to ask myself what exactly I’m doing wrong.  I started asking myself questions like, do they have two heads? Are they using jazz? Is my star not shining? Is my village people after me? But the whole thing changed for me when my friend called me telling me that her friend who was also unemployed got a job at a multinational company, which is a graduate trainee job that lasts for six months and if they love your work and all, the person would be retained and the salary is mouthwatering. I then changed my perspective, to me, everyone has their time to shine and mine wasn’t now. Like they say patience is a virtue. My friend’s friend got a job before this multinational job but she didn’t go for it because she believed that something bigger was coming and it did!!! From my view, patience and faith got this wonderful job...
