The holidays seemed long gone for real, but the celebration memory was still in my head as if it was just yesterday.
But then something happened during the holiday that stuck in my head and I am not sure I was going to forget it any time soon.
So it happened that there was a girl in my street who had been disturbing me to be my friend and I had been avoiding her for a very long time.
I am not the type that knows how to keep friends because I don't know how to text or call people just to keep in touch except for my family members, and this girl thinks that because she and I seem to be the same age we could be friends. Meanwhile, I have a lot to deal with rather than running after any friendship.
So during the holidays, I was less busy nothing like waking up very early since my children are on holiday. I went to the complex near my house to get something for my kids and I bumped into this girl. We exchanged greetings and she invited me to her birthday which happened on the 26th of December.
I got home and told my husband, he was kind enough to have asked me to go out and have fun since I was busy with kids since January. Who wouldn't want to explore? LoL 馃槀 so I was glad he allowed me to go out.
On that day I dressed and went to the venue, on getting there I saw only girls and my mind was at ease because I wouldn't want to be where I must not be. I thought it was safe since they were all girls, but some hours later when all her friends were there I started noticing something was not right.
Two girls that sat beside me were talking and their body language was like a boyfriend and girlfriend, but I couldn't just conclude what was on my mind until another two girls kissed right in front of me. I asked myself, "How did I get here in the very first place?" I didn't bother telling the girl who invited me I was going before I left the party.
I thought I was enjoying the holiday celebration by going out with someone I had been avoiding but if I hadn't seen that I wouldn't know what kind of person she was and none of them felt bad about what they were doing including the girl.
The experience was just ringing in my head as if it was yesterday, though I have heard about them before but I haven't seen them in real life, not to talk of being among them. I didn't go against their wish because everyone has the right to live the way they want but trying to lure another person into it is what pissed me off.
I saw the girl again last week, she greeted me and I ignored her completely this time because I wouldn't want her to bring her lifestyle close to me, that was what my eyes saw during the holidays that I can't seem to forget yet.
What the experience taught me was that I must never be so fast to open up my heart to strangers and the impact it had on me was negative because it seems they are everywhere and they always cover themselves up with friendship.
