I love my country so much but the frustrations we’re getting here and there can be so crazy.
Just last night, I was going home happily thinking that my rechargeable fan will be fully charged. We’re still in the hottest period of the year and I recently got my rechargeable fan because I want to start having a good sleep.
Luckily, I got a fan that lasts for twenty one hours without charging. I thought it was a joke until I bought it and it was true. It lasts for as long as twenty one hours.
On getting home, my neighbor knocked on my door. We barely talk but we’re cool so I wondered why she knocked on my door.
“Our electricity connection has gone bad and it’s not only our house but the whole street. We’ve been asked to pay two thousand Naira each for it to get fixed,” she said.
Truly, two thousand Naira isn’t a lot of money but it’s frustrating to pay bills almost everyday of my life. I just burst into laughter in her presence and I guess she git the drill too. I was basically thinking about adult life and realizing that it’s not easy to be an adult.
I remember when I was much younger and I was always hoping to be an adult but now, I just want to go back to being a baby because the bills are too much.
Have you ever noticed that when a situation gets out of hands, if it’s beyond the crying matter, you will just begin to laugh? That’s exactly what happened to me. The bills were coming to me too much and there is no single place where I can run to.
If I run, all the bills will still wait for me. That’s what led me to listen to “8teen” by Khalid.
Let’s talk about this. As adults, are we created to keep paying bills? Would you believe that there is no single day that I don’t pay bills. It may be electricity bill at shop or home, data subscription, TV subscription and so much more. I’ve even forgotten other bills that I pay for.
No wonder my mum said I’ll understand what she was going through when I was much younger. Now, I know it but I really wish I can go back home to be fed by my parents again.
Hey mama by Kanye West has made me travel back to the good old days when I used to squander all my resources and the money that my parents give to me. Now, I’m an adult but if I have a superpower, I’ll become three years old again.
To be very honest, I didn’t mean to listen to any music last night but the bills were too much and instead of me to keep ranting alone inside the house, I just played music.
The anger in me would want my mouth of keep moving and instead of me to say negative things with it, I’d rather sing with it.
The life of adulthood ain’t easy but I’ll keep pushing.
