Our daily life is characterized with lots of happenings some of these are ones that makes us feel happy and wish for a repeat in no distance time and some of the events are those that make us regret either being found in such environment or even coming in contact with such people.
Some events makes us cry for either joy or regrets, the ones that made us regret our actions are those that we where treated so poorly or even made us loose some precious things or even money. For the past 3 decades and more of my life I have been in situations that you can term as both good bad and the ugly incidence. Some of them I just laugh and feel loved and wish they keep coming by one a daily basis and some of them I just cry and feel the ground should just open up at once for I will disappear from the season.
As someone who is not given to so much outings and parties I have limited events to relate with at this moment. But the one I can lay my hands on happened last Christmas. Because of the lined up events we have in the family I just decided not to travel or even make any special arrangements for the season. It felt so strange because my in-laws are somehow used to seeing me around during the celebration. Before the year came to an end my brother in-law came visiting with his family. Though they where so in a hurry because it was already getting dark and he don't enjoy driving at night. When the wife came in she gave me a beautiful wrapper, I was like woow, this is so amazing. I wasn't expecting that because I know how things are for everyone and the level of commitment they have. Seriously, it was a surprise and I was so happy about it, at least I will make a beautiful dress for myself in no distance time.
One event I felt shouldn't happen again in my life time was one that made me feel so bitter though it made me grown in my level of discipline and making decisions. Some years back as I was preparing for my university studies I came across a family who decided to help accommodate me. It came to a point that the man was expecting a transfer so he moved his family out.
So I stayed back with the man as I was waiting for admission, not too long the wife called that I should leave the house. Hmmm, that sounded so terrible and I wasn't expecting it. Many thoughts ran through my mind at once, what would have made this woman speak in this manner, so that means she is seeing me as one bad girl. Not to bring argument, I accepted and started looking for a place to spend some time before my admission, thankfully I got one.
After some days, the husband called and asked why I took that kind of drastic decision because I don't want him to have issues with the wife, I told him nothing. He was like did the wife tell me to leave, I said yes. He wasn't happy at all, and he demanded why I kept it as a secret from him.
We ended it there and everyone parted ways, till date am still in conversation with he family as if nothing ever happened and that made me more matured in decision making and more.
As long as we are still alive, things will keep happening. Some makes us happy and others makes us feel bad. In all it is important to be ourselves and don't allow the situations define who we really are. My entry to the hive learners contest week 149 and the second edition. Thank you for staying with me
