I woke up this morning to the sound of rain, i felt the need to sleep the world away. Who knows, the dark days might just fly by while i'm sleeping. Sleeping beauty doesnt know how lucky she got it, she just slept and woke up, got married to the most desirable man of the day and lived happily ever after. I mean the lass skipped boarding school and the punishments, monthly cramps, broken hearts, stupid mistakes, failed exams, jamb and waec, sorting lecturers and working your heart out to make ends meet. I think she should be called 'lucky sleeping beauty'.
I waited a little bit for the rain to ease up and put my best leg forward, the sky opened up again showering me with 'blessings'. Today was definitely not my good day.
Things didnt get any better in the office, nope, it got... well it wasnt any better. Everybody was moody, the whole place was cold and tempers were short. I think they must have been thinking the same thing, 'lucky sleeping beauty'.
When it was time for break, i prayed for a silver lining in my very grey sky, Ola whom i shared office space with was sobbing, she just got some news that her mum who was sick was getting worse, i tried to comfort her and my phone rang, it was my close friend Dami, she called to tell me another friend Ene was getting married to a rich hunk and then my whole day just got worse.
Dont get me wrong, i'm not jealous or anything, well maybe a little envious. Ene and i were roomates in school. We'd sit and talk for hours about the kind of guys we would marry, we shared horror stories about our boyfriends and heartbreaks and.... Now she's getting married BEFORE me and to the KIND OF GUY we'd always dreamt of. My mom is going to have 'that talk' with me again, i just know it. We have the talk anytime a friend of mine is getting married, she keeps reminding me that i'm not getting any younger and blah blah ....
Exactly 6-7 hours after that sort of talk, i always avoid people and just get depressed and feel so sorry for myself.
The day's not ended yet, i'm still waiting for that silver lining.

hey just browsing thru n saw your blog. pretty new but with lots of ptentials. KIU.
about mothers and the marriage question, sorry i can't empathize but i have a friend who can. she doesn't get depressed though, she gets fighting mad. it's your life. i don't think your mom would be too happy if she eventually pressurizes you into an unhappy marriage and you would end up hating her. so at times like that just humor her, listen to her, tell her husband go come when husband go come. but don't get depressed.
and envy? you don't need it. you don't know the good things in store for you, envying someone else's own would stop you getting yours. just always have an open mind and abeg be happy. nana!
