What I'm about to tell you now is non of your business but anyway, I'll just say it. When I saw the acronym for the week's prompt AYA(Ask Yourself Anything), it reminded me of a classmate I had back in secondary school. He goes by his surname Aya. He was very popular for many things back then, he was one of the most brilliant students in the school, he was the tallest in the entire school and he was rated the most handsome. He gives off this black American kid vibes. You get what I'm saying?
The funniest thing I could remember about him is that he had a bestfriend who was the shortest in class, it was such a contrast because every time I see them walking together, I'm reminded of improper fractions. This time, in human form.
Don't be offended sha, it was just a random memory.
So this week, we're expected to ask ourselves anything at all. I don't even know what to ask myself because my brain has left the group chat. I'll just go with whatever comes handy.
First question for a hundred dollars!
Naija jollof or Ghana jollof?
Please o馃槄
I'm just kidding.
I'm serious now.
I definitely love being myself and being real instead of trying to match every vibe. Matching people's vibes can be really exhausting. I admire it when I ask about someone and several people say the same thing about that particular person. It shows the person is real and true to his/her personality and I appreciate that a lot. Also being real saves one from the trap of compromising personal values and standards just to be like the other person. So I love keeping it real with myself and with other people too, let the know me for who I am truly.
I randomly hear people saying that. The original expression is in pidgin English "good girl no de pay again". People who stand by that thought are saying that it's no longer worth it to be a good person especially when it comes to being honest in certain things.
Why are you trying to return someone's money that you picked when you're just going to get a 'thank you' afterwards?
To me, that's a shallow way of thinking and I still stand by the fact that honesty is and will continue to remain a policy worth keeping. Even if it doesn't pay off at the moment, it will in the future.
This is actually tricky because they're certain advantages that comes with having rich friends. Talk about access to some measure of luxury and maybe financial support sometimes but on the other hand, I'll go with loyal friends because they'll always be there to support me through thick and thin. I won't have to worry about losing them no matter what happens. They'll always stick with me just as you have stuck with me up till this moment in this post. Yes, you're loyal friend, even though I still don't know what I'm talking about.
Yes.
My cousin messed up the time settings of my phone when I was in secondary school one time and it affected my alarm. The alarm rung 5am in my phone when it was actually 3am in other people's phones. I knew something wasn't right when I wasn't seeing any sign of dawn when I was preparing. I ended up wearing my school uniform back to bed after dressing up because I just couldn't take it off. But guess what? I overslept and still got to school very late.
I've tried admitting to my mistakes more, instead of trying to blame someone else for it. It helps me to focus more on fixing them, instead of trying to hang them around someone else' neck. Also, the situation becomes less aggravated when I admit right away,and it has really improved my relationship with other people.
If you've made it this far,congratulations and thanks for sticking around in the most random AYA ever.
Curtain falls
See you next time!
