Hello lovely readers and friends, how are y'all feeling today.. hope the weekend wasn't that stressful cos mine was so stressful.

A lovely morning to you all and a very big hug for the comments and tips guys.. I am so so so so so grateful.. and it just boosted me up to write more, you guys are darlings especially to @gertu13 , @TheRandomRewarder , @FashTioluwa , @Kristofferquincy and many others, I love you all ..

Yeah. .. so to today's article on walk let's see what it all about shall we..😁

Like I said earlier, my weekend was super stressful , I barely had time to rest and just has I was coming back home last night after the day's work and awful journey (I love travelling on buses but my country's road isn't nice at all, am having a waist pain right now, ouuchhh !🥺) I met someone.. according to him, he had been calling on me for sometime,when he approached me, he asked me if we could move toward his car and move from the crowdy road. I agreed, mostly because my leg ache and I needed rest, but I didn't go into his car instead I sat at the back where I could feel the natural air.

After he noticed his persuasion to make me go inside his car proved abortive , he sat out with me and he said with a smile, ' have you ever been told you walk so fast? ' and I snorted 😂😂 like a pig(which was unladylike and I would've been given that awful look if I were a proper lady😂😂). I gave a throaty laugh and smiled at him. Sure have been told countless times that I walked fast , I just can't help it most times, especially if I'm walking alone. We both conversed a little before I told him I had to go.

He requested to drop me off but I declined his request, he was a nice stranger but I had to say no, he was a bit sad but I neverminded and went my way.

Was I harsh?

I thought about it when I was in the bus, in a way I was harsh but still it needed to be done, a lot of happening have taken place in my country that being security conscious is your best shot.. kidnapping, ritual killing (boyfriend and girlfriend hunting each other down, the article written by @Success.1 would give you more insight about it if you are interested) and many more.

Also if you also subscribed to @gertu13 and seen her last post on how a mother had killed her own child because of money then you'd understand I wasn't harsh.

If the people we love and called our own could hurt us, then a stranger would do more if he wanted to.

Just staying and talking is a risk on it own because voodoo or spell can be used on the person that you would have gotten where they wanted you to be before you could remember how you got there.

Back to the gist.

I have always known myself to walk fast 😂😂, especially when I needed to get there on time and I woke up late or didn't get bus on time which are mostly the case and when coming back , I just want to hurry home and rest after the day's work stress, the only time I know I don't walk fast is when I'm walking with someone,.or in the midst of friends and colleagues or I just decided to lazy around and go for sight see.

I once worked at a media organization where the C.E.O had wanted to make me a model(he said I look and walk like one😂😂 like have been told countless times but still I don't know because me😂😂, oh come on!) but I didn't have any interest in it but still yield towards his request that I should walk more slowly but me being me na😜, though I did walk slow whenever he is around because he's always looking at me. As fate would have it I quit the work for some unseen circumstances.

My mom had also warned me some long years back to walk and smile when walking because a lady is expected to but me!..🤣🤣, well let just say I listen a little sha. I have worked a bit on the smile though . But the walk, hmm..okay .

When you are a hustler where I come from, you have to walk fast to attend to things before the day ends or maybe it just me trying to back up the reason I walk fast, lol.. but what you think?

And I heard walking fast makes people see you like you always have something to do , it either you are a mother who wants to get to your children on time or a wife who is going home to cook for her husband..

I also heard a lady who is searching for a husband is not meant to walk fast 😂😂, how true is this?

Is walking fast or slow really determine who you are? . I'm not married though, have been pushed to get married some years back because according to them am not getting younger and my mates are already married with kids. But it my life and I'll do that when God approve of it 😊.

That's the gist for today, and take this from a fast walker .. a very very very good and incredible advice from me.. WAlk FAST 😂😂.

Thanks for reading and stay safe.
