Hello Everyone in the Hive Naija Community.
Welcome to my Blog.
I am so excited to participate in this week's competition. Congratulations to all the winners for week 55 weekly prompt.
Going through the topics for this week's contest I discovered there are really interesting topics and I will share my own experience of being who I am not in order for peace to reign and kinda be loved.
This situation is always a very terrible situation for one to be in. Imagine going out of your way to do something that seems cool to another person so they would like you but inside your heart you know how hurt and uncomfortable it could be to fake a life.
Most of us have been in this situation and some are still in it. Trying to live a life they're not just because they want others to love them. I have been in that situation and I must say it was not an easy experience for me. I love to live my life normally and not to fake it to please someone. I had a friend that complained so much about my dressing each time she visited and with that she goes out without Me. She complains about how much I dress like a church Girl that I need to dress showing my cleavages and my curves so that I will end up being attracted to handsome guys and then she can be going out with me. With the constant taunting each time she visits I try adjusting to the kind of dressing she wants so that i will look cool to her and also so i can go out with her. I had to start playing along. Each time she comes I have to dress to her taste. I was practically living my life just to please her which was against my principle of doing things my own way.
It graduated to going out and staying up late at night, started indulging in drinking alcohol and having fun according to how she made it seem. That was just the opposite of me. Each time we go on a sitout we have to get home very late and before I knew what was happening I adjusted to it. I became very comfortable. I started living a reckless life so that she would not see me as a church and a Mommy's girl. As those were her lines and you know as a teen Peer pressure was one thing we could not resist. You will see your friends looking more tush than you and before you know it you feel you should also be like them to fit in so you still be friends. But as i grew up i started adjusting again to living my life to please myself and not trying to live a life i am not in other to be loved and to be accepted. I grew up to do things I choose to do and not try to live the opposite of me so I can be loved and accepted by friends.
