Ideas

Elias: An idea just popped up in my head a couple of minutes ago, and now, I have totally forgotten what it was. If only I was able to pen it down when I had the chance to. This usually happens these days, its about time I put a stop to it. I guess I should have a safe spot on my phone dabbed, "ideas", to note them down as soon they pop up. Cause I learnt one idea could be all you need to make it in life. I remember during one management lecture, the lecturer shared how one Jew became a billionaire. He slept and dreamt about an idea. He woke up, noted it and worked on it and he's now rich. Imagine how many ideas I have allowed slipped by, just like that. No room for carelessness henceforth. I have to be both sensitive and alert 24/7, which is too much work. How do I get my mind to decipher between a multi-million​ dollar idea and any random idea?. Cause an idea that one may see foolish, maybe quite useful for another. Wait a minute, I just got an idea. Oh yes!, it does come just like that, I'm full of ideas. What about creating a consulting agency, where by, we provide people with ideas/solutions. All you need to do is call us when you're​ stranded with the decision to take concerning any situation at all and we would guide you, step by step, as to what to do. It could be issues on marriage, finances, business, school etc. Isn't that a good idea?. You would see my idea come into reality a few years from now. Get yourself an idea as well. What are you waiting for?

Comfort Zone II

Juice: Coming Soon!

Comfort Zone

Juice: It was a nice experience to see her willing to face the challenges that came along with leaving her comfort zone. It wasn't something anyone would love to do. It was really a difficult thing for her to do; to sleep in another person's bed over night. But for the first time, she didn't complain too much about it. But I could see she was trying very hard to sleep but to no avail. She kept twisting and turning all over. I don't know why but her persistence and determination to find a way to get herself to sleep is what I admired about her. Because she could have decided to leave to her room after all. One thing that is worth witnessing, is noticing someone trying to come out of their comfort zone to try something new. It could be eating tuo zaafi (local dish) or taking a train for the first time. I remember witnessing my cousin take in fufu (local dish) on her first visit to Ghana. She really struggled to finish eating. She could have stopped eating, cause no one was forcing her to eat anyway. But she made up her mind to finish what she started and she did. But at the long run, she vomited everything out anyway. I for one, I love to do the same stuff everyday. Eat the same dish and do the same routines daily. I just don't like to try something new I haven't planned for unless I'm in the mood for an adventure. Which I know is a bad habit and I'm trying to desist from that. All I'm trying to say is, try to move out of your comfort zone every once in a while to explore your other potentials, else you wouldn't know your full capabilities. You could try joining the salsa group, drama group, dancing group, creative arts group, script writing group, karate group, hiking group, meditating group, gaming group, sport group, music group etc. It could be online or however way you prefer it to be. Just engage!

Convo II

Chris: Hello, How you doing?
Sally: Yeah!, I'm doing okay. Nothing much!.
Chris: I'm also doing fine. Thanks for asking!.
Sally: Alright!
Chris: Black out here. Super bored.
Sally: Alright!.
Chris: Just listening to Stonebwoy - Tomorrow.
Sally: Oh okay!.
Chris: Cause I've gotten to a stage in my life where I think I'm all alone with no one to really help me out. And I can relate better with this song.
Sally: You should go for therapy.
Chris: It's too expensive.
Sally: Alright!. Find someone to talk to then.
Chris: Sometimes I think I get this feeling because Hilda doesn't give me the attention I deserve. She doesn't even know my goals, to talk of going the extra mile of encouraging me to achieve them.
Sally: I'm not that someone, am I?. Cause I've got a lot on my plate at the moment as well.
Chris: And there is too much pressure at home. Which makes it difficult for me to rely on anyone for help cause they are even looking up to me themselves.
Sally: Can we talk later?
Chris: At least I know the source of my problem. All I have to do is fine a suitable solution not to get anyone hurt in the process including myself.
Sally: Hey, are you okay?
Chris: I think I know what to do now. Thanks so much for the listening ear. Grateful.
Sally: Huh!

Convo

Chris: So if you check up on me, what will happen?
Sally: Why are you making it sound like a responsibility?.
Chris: You see, you couldn't answer the question.
Sally: It spoils nothing if you decide to check up on me everyday expecting nothing in return.
Chris: See the way she has turned this around on me now. But it also spoils nothing if you decide to say hello as well. After all friendship is not a one-sided affair.
Sally: But sincerely, I see no problem with it when one decides to do the checking up while the other does the receiving only.
Chris: Exactly!. Until table turns and someone you love becomes the receiver only. There you would understand.
Sally: Bra, please let's end this before it turns into a proposal. Thank you.
Chris: See you!. The truth hurts. You saying hello as well spoils nothing.
Sally: Ma guy make steady!. This forceful way of getting me to say hello has got to stop.

Phone Call

Kimberly: Vicky, have you realised Jeff has this irritating attitude. Whereby you will be talking to him and he would be upset minded; replying you with sounds and gestures. If he were to be busy, I would have no problem at all. But here is the case he would either be chatting on phone, playing game or watching a movie. At least, have a little decency to pause, listen to whatever I have to say, respond and continue, I told him. And he replied with a nod; busily typing on his phone. I mean we all have things to do but you don't see us acting the way he does. At first, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he needs his privacy. But here is the case, he does that all the time. Sometimes I feel like taking the pillow and whacking his head with it. He's really irritating me these days. And the most annoying part is, when he is the one talking to you, he wants your full attention. I don't know why I'm over-reacting on this small issue. I think there's something about him that just puts me off these days. He is so self-centered of late. Every time, me this, me that. Even his," how are you doing?" has strings attached. He bothers not to even check up on me and when I do, he will be giving me straightforward​ replies. He thinks the world revolves around him. When he is happy, everyone should be happy. When he is sad, no one dares bring their "noisy self" around him. See the way he's making me talk too much and he's peacefully on his bed right this moment watching a movie. If you like lemme ask him, what's up?, he would reply, nothing much. So when will there be something much to talk about?. Lol!. Such an annoying boy.

Switches

1. Tito: Tony, I'm telling you the truth, I don't think she really needs me around whenever she is down, cause all she does is ignore me the whole time I'm around her. She doesn't even try to look my way for two seconds. All she does is concentrate fully on watching her movie while she replies pop up messages from time to time, so I eventually leave her room. At that moment, I see it to be the right thing to do cause she barely replies me when I talk to her and she keeps talking to herself the whole time I'm around. Which actually makes me look stupid when I reply her thinking she is talking to me, only to end up looking like a complete jerk being totally ignored by her. And as late as 13:00, she is still all curled up in bed covered with blanket since morning. I mean, how does that make me feel when I'm around her. And she just wouldn't listen to anything I say.  Hopefully, someone comes over and she switches to a different person after a minute or two. I know only one word is echoing in your ears as I am raising this allegation. And the word is "useless". And that is exactly how I feel during such situations. Cause if she wouldn't mind me, why should I stick around to shrink the little happiness I have left. Then a month later, she would tell me she still needed me around regardless how much she ignored me. But what about what I also needed. Which is just a little cooperation and it isn't much to ask of, is it?. I mean, me cheering her up is 97% impossible until someone else comes over then she lightens up. So then what was my use being around if spending five hours or more with her changed nothing and someone walks in two minutes and changes everything. Why shouldn't I walk away to enable her heal faster if clearly I'm the problem?.

Time to Time

Gyan: I have no problem with my girl talking to herself from time to time. But it gets​ scary when we are in the room and all of a sudden she bursts out; talking to herself. I'm just curious on how your reaction would be like if you are in a room with someone and they keep talking aloud but to themselves. An extreme case scenario is when she keeps talking to herself for five minutes non-stop. Ignoring any comments I make on the subject she's talking about. She acts as if she is in a trance, ignoring me totally, but the funny part is, she is able to reply a message whenever one pops up during such moments. Usually I don't really care if someone talks to themselves occasionally. Cause the ones I have been experiencing are mostly undertone and self-related, and do not require any external opinions​, which is very unlike hers. Hers is loud, irritating if you're​ busy doing something important and it sounds more like an enquiry which demands a response. I'm propelled to reply and then after she ignores me, I realise I'm not the one she's talking to. I think an example will help, let's say she is watching a movie and someone she knows pops up, she would burst out saying; "Isn't this Angelina Jolie?, It looks like her, I think I have watched her acting a similar role in a different movie but I have forgotten the title". Wouldn't you have responded if you were in the same room with her?. Now you see I'm not just nagging.

While Waiting

Flipper: She just walked out on me. And now I'm all alone in her room waiting on her to return. It's been 1hour 17minutes now and she still isn't back. On a normal day, I would get pissed and leave cause I wouldn't understand why she would leave without saying a word and expect me to be waiting for her when she returns. I use to think that it usually wasn't her fault and that she tries her best to hurry back as soon as she is done with whatever she goes out to do. Until I met her outside one time, just standing there doing nothing while I was inside waiting for her. For a moment, I thought she was waiting on someone so I was waiting to see whom it was. Until I realised, she loses track of time unconsciously. She doesn't notice how long she keeps you waiting unless she is the one waiting. She just stood there doing nothing, then the moment she saw me coming she knew from my facial expression that I had waited for her for quite a while. Yet her facial expression didn't look remorseful. It looked like, "where is he going looking all angry as if I owe him an apology?" kind of face. She then asked if I am leaving and I reply yes and she said okay. The kind of okay that makes you feel as if you are the one with the problem. I guess you don't share my pain. It's alright then. Thanks for reading.

Just Don't

I am experiencing those kind of moments where you have a lot to say but putting it into words is the problem. Whereby I don't want to sink myself into the whole situation or else I may end up weeping an unworthy weeping. Yet I want to deal with the situation once and for all to get it out of my system. But then I realise the person I'm pouring my heart to keeps on laughing from time to time. I ask why they are not acting concerned and they reply that it's because of the way I'm conveying the message. I inquire about how exactly I'm conveying the message and they say I just don't sound like what I'm saying is actually serious and it's like I'm making it all up to cover up the actual story. And they conclude by saying that, if I don't wanna share is fine but I shouldn't make it look as if they are not ready to listen or they are not taking me serious. So then I say it's okay to cut everything short and forget about everything until I'm all by myself again, on my bed and trying to sleep. Then the feeling revisits me. It suspends my sleep and takes hold of my mind, which makes me wanna scream out the pain. But the pain clots in my heart, making it uneasy to lie down on my belly. And then I realise the essence of people having a dairy. But that isn't just my thing. For me, I suck it all in until the day it burst out. By then, I would have lost my reason of caring. Then I wouldn't care of the outcome.

Both Ways

Chiesa: I love that my girlfriend tells me she needs closure sometimes. It makes me feel wanted, which is a very good feeling; I tell you. Cause if it's mostly one way then I would be thinking; I am the problem. But now, I don't have to stress myself over that anymore. At least, she should be the one doing the tickling and harassing every once in a while to spice things up a little. It shouldn't be always me trying to get her in the mood. The only situation is that she doesn't really like me touching her when she isn't in the mood. In fact, she doesn't like touching in general. I used the word, situation, cause it's not a problem. Anyways, enough about whatever I'm talking about. I wonder how I even brought this topic up. I guess its one of those things. Later then!.

Sick

Lysa: I have no other​ alternative but to fall sick just to get his attention. I know this sounds very lame but that's the only option I've tried so far, that actually got him close to me all day. I want to have that experience with him again, and falling sick is the only way I can think of. I did try other options by getting him the continuation of his favourite series; Killing Eve. But that only got him around me for 35minutes tops and that wasn't enough. I've also tried being pissed with him like a thousand times for no reason; pestering him, "we need to talk". He came over so quickly the last time; I didn't have anything saying, cause I hadn't planned out what to say. The other time too, he outstretched the "we need to talk" period; before I knew it, we were talking again. I've also tried buying us tickets for stage play shows and cinema movies as well, but I'm mostly broke. The one time, I remember buying us tickets, he was sleepy all night; which slowed down the night for me. On numerous occasions, I've told him my troubles, shortcomings, issues, hindrances, secrets and many more to get him all up in my business but he hardly shares his, and he's mostly busy doing one thing or the other. As you can see, I have thought this through and I'm planning of falling sick this weekend. I would just have to hope that he is not tied down with his schedule and that I would be able to tell him to come over with a movie so we watch together. After all, he is travelling for a whole month next weekend and this would be one memory I decide to clinge unto and make the most out of. You can call it an obsession or craziness or whatever, I would still do it anyway. So keep your thoughts to yourself. #Smiles

Crazy Charley III

Ortega:  I just missed Melissa's call again. I've decided to go get a pack of condom from a pharmacy, which is just opposite her hostel. I am on my way now. I think I just bypassed Kofi; the guy Candy was talking about. He is wearing boxers and singlet, I mean, who does that?. And he is headed towards Melissa's room. All of a sudden, my immune system has frozen​. It feels more like a heartbreak. Unconsciously, I called Melissa, I told her that I am in her hostel now and that the uber driver delayed. I'm watching him knock on the door from a distance. Candy opens the door; she is also wearing a super short silky slightly transparent purple nightgown. The look on her face shows she is highly impressed how quickly Kofi came over. I think she has seen me. And she is saying something like; Melissa, your boy is coming with his jeans and cardigan. What was he thinking?. (And they all burst out laughing). "I beg, let him be", Melissa responded. That boosted my moral, cause my intestines were pulling me to turn around and leave. Candy: "Kofi, you can join I and Jones, cause the way I am on heat, I'm pretty sure one person wouldn't be enough. So I would be in the middle of both of you. Feel free to hold and touch wherever you desire, but no intromission". Ortega: That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. They have already watched the first scene, which was 45mimutes non-stop. So Melissa is in pretty good shape and I am yet to get heated up. But she is all over me already and that really feels good; with her perfume and body texture. I have taken off my jeans and top, positioned myself properly and I think I am all set now. As you can see, I have to go, Bye.
