I have been lazy, there, I said it. But I have excuses! I've spent the majority of the year in Cross river attempting to get my youth service certificate. Please note that I didn't say, doing my youth service. That would be gilding the lilly. For the poor soul who is non-Nigerian and is wondering what on earth I am going on about... this is a period of just under a year that every post graduate Nigerian undertakes to serve the nation. I could do posts and posts about youth service, so I will just pace myself. Till then, a short summary of what's been going on since february (SHEESH!!!!).
1. I WENT AND FELL IN LOVE
Like a silly bird I went and fell for someone. But in typical fashion, it is fraught with drama and I remain merrily single. I also learned an awful lot about the dating scene in my beloved land and read a lot of quality nigerian blogs over the year and realized that I have been lazy! In my defense internet access was very poor.
2. I MAKE POOR CHOICES WHEN I'M LONELY
Yes, yes I am well human. I spent a lot of time by myself this year studying for professional exams, and avoiding a certain someone who has given me stress and caused me to 'blow a lot of grammar', chastising myself about my feelings for him. Basically, I was a mess. A dignified mess. Instead of crying and begging him to love me, I left him alone and ate pounded yam and joined the gym and listened to more Olafur Arnalds. But then...a random distraction in the form of a very cute guy for whom I do not have feelings nearly made me compromise certain things, cough, cough on the basis that I definitely didn't need it at my age. Ha! the joker. Twas a close call.
3. I AM BACK IN LAGOS JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!
I know where I am at now, and I feel like I am ready to write again. There is nothing better than knowing that you are enough. Warts and all.
