Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 100: Can you Remember?

Can you remember that one person that you were angry with? What happened ?

Yes to be honest I still remember very well the one I was so angry with was my uncle and he had pinned an offer to me which was that I would come and stay with him after my school so he can help me apply for a Navy form, that I was so happy and hopeful since I believed him and when the long-awaited moment arrived, I put my bags, made several phone calls to him and waited until he calls me. Instead, I was surprised by what he could say that he had traveled out of the country.

Bam!, just like that--no warning, no description, nothing. I was very disappointed and cheated. It was not the fact that he promised me and failed to do it, it was the way he took that as a non-issue. It was a painful experience which made me learn not to trust people depending on their words.

Can you remember the last time your parents flogged or yelled at you? What did you do wrong? Was yelling the best way?

Yes, I do remember the moment the last time my parents, and my mom in particular was yelling at me in particular that was quite an experience. I was still staying with them when one day a female friend went to surprise me. I was surprised even myself since I have not even invited her.

However, before I could say anything my mom spotted her and started yelling at me as to why I had brought a girl home. She did not allow me to speak or make excuses of what happened. To say the least, it was uncomfortable and aggravating since I did not do anything wrong. Now that I think about it, I see her worry, yet she shouldn’t have yelled. It would have been better done as a gentle chat.

Can you remember embarrassing yourself in public?

Absolutely, I can remember a situation that I can claim as an embarrassing one in the school. I recall it was when I was in school one day in the morning and on my way to go to my classroom and I very bravely set off to go to my classroom but lo and behold I fell straight on my face cause you know everyone could see I fell. My books went down and the whole school friends was laughing.

I attempted to spring up and behave as though nothing had occurred, but my cheeks already were rosy with embarrassment. And I wished the earth would have opened up and given me in. People continued to talk about it in hilarity of days. It was quite humiliating but now whenever I remember it I laugh and get a funny impression regarding it.

How did you get over with the embarrassment?

To begin with, overcoming the embarrassment was not straight forward. I did not want to talk about and tried to avoid eye contact. However, as time went on, I understood that all people make some slip-ups or have embarrassing situations, it is inevitable life. I began laughing with myself and even joking about it before other people did it. It assisted me to get the upper hand and demonstrate that it did not defeat me. My friends got on and so did I. What really assisted though was the idea to not take myself so seriously and the realization that being a clumsy-ass fool in one situation does not make me a clumsy-ass fool in real life.

Can you remember having a good past life andor your past life was just bad ?

Vaguely I remember from leading a great performance of lives that was a golden age! It was a care free sweet life in those days. I worried not about any bills, my rent, my food, etc. I merely used to eat, sleep, play and have fun with the money of my parents without even considering responsibilities. I simply needed something to ask -- and guess what, it always happened to show up.

And I would have liked to get back to the times when I could not care less about anything except what to cook or where to go watch a movie. Life seemed so simple and easygoing. Becoming an adult made me realize things and I will always remember those times when everything seemed like heaven and that being an adult was a farfetched idea.

Thanks for reading my post I'm inviting @ninapenda, @pea07 and @m-fdo to participate.
