I don’t even know who sent me this afternoon but I just felt like frying potatoes. Did I hear someone say chef Abenad? Please hold on o and let’s see if you are still going to call me that at the end of the post. I had the potatoes and every other thing I needed so I didn’t even think twice before moving straight to the kitchen. The thing is, I’m so used to frying yam that I totally forgot that potatoes were entirely different from yam. From the moment I thought about frying potatoes, my mind automatically processed yam.

I remember how I used to cry with my brother anytime he got grounded at home because he was the solution to my social anxiety. I hated leaving the house, I hated being around people but he was the direct opposite. My brother loved roaming, moving from one place to another. There wasn’t any where in our vicinity that this boy didn’t know. And so he getting grounded meant I wasn’t also going to leave the house because then, who would help me deal with my anxiety?

The topic of politics as a whole is never something I’m interested in and I’m sure this is not the first time I’m saying this. But on the other hand, I am very much concerned when it comes to things happening in my country.

I didn’t even know there was something like caring for a phone’s battery until I started buying my phones myself. For a long time, my brothers were the ones in charge of the kind of phones I was using and all I needed to do was to tell them when something went wrong. And I’m tempted to deny this but let me just say if you’re thinking I wasn’t taking good care of my phones, you’re right. After all, it wasn’t my money.

Before writing this, I was talking to a friend of mine and I asked her if she could tell me how I deal with people. She just went like “but do you even deal with people? You don’t o. You just avoid people and it is so annoying because small thing then you’d just vanish or ignore or go MIA for days”

Growing older, I have come to understand that one constant we can’t do away with in life are people. It’s never about what we have or what we do; it’s always about who we have. And the kind of life we live is partly dependent on the people around us.
