Maybe Life Isn't So Bad After all…

If you think about it.

Aug 10, 2024

It's 2:50 am at the moment and I can't sleep so I resorted to quickly writing this thing on my mind. Oh, it's because I decided to take my life more seriously and hand over my matters to God, that's why I'm writing this to you at the redemption camp when I came for the August convention. Don't blame me, since I can't solve my problems, my God will say I have suffered enough and just bless me with wealth like Elon Musk (Dangote baby was doing podcast, so I won't use his name).

But wagwan homeboys and girlies! What's popping?

You know, I have been thinking about something. Perhaps life isn't so bad like that. Even though I might struggle to eat twice a day, and I might not be able to order Amala and Gbegiri whenever (please if you know where I can dance and collect free supply of food for a month, HMU) the cravings eat, and I probably have to do some mathematics after I try to feel good or even help others, because my account balance did not send me. Or I'm juggling jobs and still looking for more because my money to japa hasn't passed 10k, as I keep eating the money. And even though I don't have someone to tell me sweet things at night, I will wallow myself in memories from past relationships.😂 After which, I'll get my ass up, and scream “Love is for those that have finished eating. And I'm still looking for what to eat.”

And where's the lie?

But still, I think life isn't bad after all. There are days when my salary enters, and I can close my eyes and prepare what I want because I didn't die when I had my last card left. And I still wouldn't die.

I have my friends that we console ourselves with our singleness. If adulthood is showing us shege, we still have our single asses to each other. And there's nothing relationship people can do. And when life tries to put me in disarray, hearing jokes and banter from my homeboys reminds me that there's still a good side to life.

And times when I'm jobless, I become a performing artiste, disturbing my neighbors late at night with my voice while jamming to Afrobeats songs. Even though they complain, they're enjoying free concert that they cannot deny.

So maybe life isn't so bad after all. If you think about it. You might not attend to your cravings as you want, but at least you can put 1 + 1 to fill your belly. Even though rejection mails keep coming, your daydreams of the lifestyle you want keeps you going. And you probably have a source of finance that you survive, whether you are dependent on it or not. And if you really don't have anything to bank on, you're not dead. And you have a roof over your head. One time, you desperately prayed for where you're at now. I know you want more but make the best of these moments now. Enjoy it!

So hang in there. And keep your head up, my friend. In Johnny Drille's words “In the morning time, the sun will shine!”
