Now that I know you received my comeback newsletter well, shall we move on to the next?
Tbh, I don’t know what the following post will be about, all I know is I want to keep on writing so I don’t go on an unintentional break again.
Apart from the fact that Nigeria is now 10x harder to live in which scares me, my neighbor’s gen scares me more because I fear one day, one of the other neighbors might get so mad and steal it because there is no reason for your gen to be ON 12hrs out of 24hrs a day, especially WHEN THERE IS LIGHT… and when I get him arrested for noise pollution, what’s going to happen?
That’s by the way, let’s get down to the business of the day.
I know we talk about these all the time, how we all wished we could grow up faster so we could do whatever we wanted without no parental control. The realization now hitting us that maybe we shouldn’t have wished for Adulthood to come so fast because living in it, experiencing it, is just… hell to be put frankly.
Everyone is so busy.
Everyone is sad and depressed.
Everyone is trying to live for tomorrow instead of today because no one wants to be a failure.
We are becoming more distant, not just with friends but with ourselves.
I’m tempted to turn the purpose of this conversation and just rain curses on the government because this is somehow their fault. The economy has become so bad and the naira keeps rising like the yeast in bread. (Does yeast rise? Ah, yes!) Like why does this have to happen during our time?
Actually, forget talk! Nothing about our Adulthood makes sense. It’s now harder than ever to get a good-paying job. Everything is so hard and stressful, even finding a good amala spot is tough.
Let’s not go into politics because I promised myself I would never write about it cause if I did, a lot of people would be collecting slaps in their dreams.
Okay, what were we saying? Friendship and Adulthood, yes!
I saw this tweet a few days ago and I could not but agree with it, the second part of the tweet has this depth of truth in it but it also feels sad because this is what our lives have become. Everyone is busy with something or has something they are dealing with to be apologizing to a “you forgot about me” friend.
Personally guilty of this and it sucks how many people have felt I was ignoring them or trying to act big when in fact shege was dealing with me from every angle.
But In truth, if you come to me at any time in need of my help, I’ll be there.
We are all trying to live, all hustling to not stay broke while watching friendships we’ve built over the years crumble, sadly and we can’t do anything about it, not now, not when the economy is eating our asses up.
All I’m trying to say is, that the tweet is both true and sad… das all
Don’t stare at me like that, I have nothing more to say… maybe sorry?
Idk what else you guys are expecting me to write, my brain got fried when I got to this part
Bye…
See you next week.
Everything you said👍It's our sad reality but well we all hope for the best
