When did we reach here?

You know how you sleep for just one hour and wake up and it’s morning already or how you close your eyes to enjoy the bus ride for two minutes and when you open it you are already at your bus stop?

That’s how I felt when I woke up this morning, checked my phone and I saw “1st May.”

Honestly, when did we even reach here?

Is it not just yesterday I shouted happy new year very loud that my mother had to shift a bit so I won’t block her ear drums?

Are you people not driving too fast?

Anyways, that’s besides the point.

How are you doing?

Seriously, how are you?

People feel like it’s not a necessary question.

People think the normal answer to how are you is simply I’m fine.

But are you fine?

With the heat, the fuel scarcity, the increase in transportation and prices of everything.

Me I’m not fine o.

Dash me 2k where ever you see me.

You are asking me why?

Why should I be fine?

This Sapa no reach your area?

I am not fine and my destiny helper should locate me fast fast before I give up.

I won’t give up in Jesus’ name.

April was a lot for me.

I resumed school and instead of the peace I had asked for, Vawlence was delivered to my doorstep.

I looked at my timetable and I screamed.

How the hell do we have lectures everyday from 8 to 4pm?

Howww?

Who even sent me to study law sef?

I opened my contract textbook the other day and my head almost knock.

Come o, did Sagay write this textbook for professors?

Because what is this naw?

As if that is not enough, I am single!

There’s nobody to rant about how tough my day was to.

Scratch that, there’s a lot of people and April gave all of them to me.

There’s Mfoniso, whose DM is always open for my complains, there’s Precious who doesn’t know that our placenta is tied together so there’s no escape from what we have, there’s Benita who is an absolute sweetheart and I can’t wait to meet her on the induction day, take loads of pictures with her and eat her rice, there’s Praise, my hype woman who has decided to starve me, me and her we have beef like this except she writes something for me this week, there’s Divine, the girl that blows my spirit, soul and body away with her articles.

Then there’s Munirat who I cannot wait to see.

There’s a lot of people but I can’t mention them so you won’t steal them from me.😒

You are looking for man name?

Sorry, I will have to disappoint you in that part.

Maybe May will favor us, Amen?

Somebody came to my DM to remind me of the fact that I am single but no offense though.

It is that season again, the season when small rain will fall and I’ll see girls boarding Keke or climbing bike.

All of you don’t have house ni?

Did the rain wash away your house?

How do you not enjoy squeezing yourself inside your blanket and watching movies on your phone?

All of you planning to climb bike this May, transformer will fall on you!

Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude but honestly, stay at home!

Let’s come up with a way to survive this current stage of our lives, stop making babies by mistake!

Anyways, the person driving this year should drive us slowly o, me I don’t want to fall down.

Happy new month, loves. ❤️😌
