You'll always hear people warn against begging the wrong people for things because they're very likely to rub it in your face or use it against you. Have you ever asked someone for something in desperation and later regretted it? People say, God will never allow me see shame but this life has its ups and downs and it's not even funny.
GET YOUR PVCs!!! I can finally chant this because after three different attempts and all the uncertainty that accompanied them; leaving my house early to get back late, waiting in the sun and rain, being hungry, I finally bagged mine.
Adios! Until I find inspiration again.
ADULTHOOD NA SCAM! Do you believe this? I do. On the 29th of May, 2022 (Children's Day), if you read my post, you'll understand that I actually wrote from a place of longing and pain. Pain stemming from the fact that I can no longer get everything I want just by simply asking. I have to have my own money most times to get it. Since when did I begin to buy milk by myself? It seems really unbelievable that it's been ages since I was five (5) years old.
Back to ‘hunger na bad thing'.
I'm sure at one point in your life, you were convinced that everything was going to go well; you'd finish University, get a well-paying white-collar job, get married, have kids and be happy for the rest of your life. See how you finished reading it in one breath? The reality of achieving them as quickly is seeming unrealistic these days.
Everybody is hustling. We have yahoo boys everywhere- making quick money and painting the streets of social media with their big-big purchases. You that has decided to stay faithful to the right path, hello! Are you there? When was the last time you ate shawarma without calculating? 😅
I'm not intentionally trying to taunt anybody, because if I am, I'm a victim too. I'm just bringing the reality of the world today into the light so that all of us can grieve together.
Have you noticed that you don't have anybody to call when you're in dire need? Or wait, is it that you don't have anybody or do you just have too much pride (the good kind of pride though). There were these people you did better than in all aspects (academically, intellectually, socially, financially) when you were younger, especially in secondary school. Those particular sets of unserious people you thought would regret their unseriousness fast. Hehehehe.
Just recently, I sat cracking my head, I wanted to buy something so badly, I almost sent a message to someone I've not spoken to in awhile, in fact, I'd not even thought about him in awhile. I laughed at the reality of life. No wonder my mum never forgets to remind us not to look down on anybody. She'll always emphasize that God can change stories and I'm grateful for having that teaching. I'm sure if I'd asked, I'd have gotten cos I never openly talked or looked down on this person, we were even really close in SS1 and I remember how he used to give me biscuits. Lol. It's not like his hustle is legit or anything but he sha has money he can spare.
There's been so much motivation about this PVC hustle. You'll go everyday and meet a huge crowd. I went to an organised session and met thousands of youths (no kidding). The first time I wanted to turn back and go home, I overheard someone say, ‘ they're trying to discourage us, but, come rain, come sunshine, we dey here'. At one of my other attempts, the people who came earlier than my 9:00am shared their tales of first, cold, then sunshine, rain and then cold again but not in a bitter way, they told the tales with mirth and I just sat and recounted my own experiences. I met a lady who was at her 10th attempt. Whoop! If people can be resilient like that, you can too.
This turned out to be just a random post. I was actually working on something as you'd have noticed from the beginning but right now, typing this, I can't seem to think clearly because I'm so hungry and it's so late I can't even eat anything because of my daddy's ‘ don't eat at this time, it's not good for your health'.
