I have been living my life differently. The changes were just so obvious, and I can say they resulted from changes in humans. We are bound to change. I can also say they result from adulthood. Being an adult must have put a lot of things in place, from sorting out responsibilities to pursuing a career and many more.
Sometimes my friends will always joke around me because I tend to have some kind of retentive memory. I will most times remind them of something that happened a long time ago. I guess it’s just my head trying to picture those scenes stored in my brain.
I also have friends that when you even ask them about what has happened in the morning at noon they will have nothing much to recall about it. Those incidents must've been erased from their memory. We can't blame them all because we are created differently.
But is there a time when I have ever forgotten something that got me at so much risk?
Yeah, there are a lot of times. Should I talk about when I was a student, the crazy and funny experiences that I had at times? There was a day when I was in a hurry to school. I always have my transportation fare in my bag most times so I don't even bother myself about it when going to school.
That morning I still remember picking up the money from my pocket and dropping it in my bag. But I guess I saw myself doing that after the reminder which I didn’t. Then the next thing was picking up my bag and heading for school.
I got into the vehicle, I was so confident about the money in my bag not until we got to the park and then I was to pay my money. I started checking my bag like there is someone else sharing it with me who must have taken the money away.
I was so lucky to have my friend with me that day and he got some extra cash on him to pay for my fare. That's how I was able to scale through. Then when I got home the money was sitting happily inside my pocket which I thought I had already picked up.
Another instance of forgetfulness that happened recently was when I was seriously working on the farm. Most times when I am working on the farm I don't like dividing my attention to other things. I try to keep focused. But that day my siblings came around and I was distracted by their conversation.
The next thing I saw was that a whole tank of water I pumped had finished and then the water in the pond was just at a shallow level. What could have happened to all the water? Then I realized that I forgot to lock the outlet after draining the water.
Since then I have learned my lesson and when working on the farm I always pay 💯 attention to whatever I am doing.
This is my response to the HIVE LEARNERS weekly prompt in hive learners community for the Week 142 Edition 3 and the topic to be discussed is WHY SO FORGETFUL
