A journey back home

The school has been stressful lately, because of the camp and parade training, I had to miss some class and now it biting back at me, though I have been busy and I had a very close friend who I believe understands me and all I was going through, a lady, since I haven't called for weeks and no chatted her up, she decided to pay back with a hostile attitude towards me, after I was back, I tried explaining things to her but she seems not to get what I was saying, now I notice she has been moving with another guy, they are always together, talking, chatting, playing, at first, I felt jealous and betrayed, it felt like I have been replaced, so I moved on.

I decided to visit her one day, and when I entered the room, I found the guy on her bed, though she wasn't inside her room. I decided to wait till she got back and I left, the pressure from my coursemate and lecturer was getting too much. I started feeling frustrated and depressed, for the first time, I couldn't think straight, it was like everyone hated me. How can I feel so low and miserable. I was at my lowest and had no one to talk to.

Since we are on a 2weeks break, I decided to travel to my parent's place in Lagos where my other siblings are, I just wanted a clear head and peace of mind with a lot of food.

The journey.

After I called my mom and informed her I would be traveling back home, she was really scared and was asking me why, I told her I just wanted some space, Due to the current insurgence in the country, she was scared and started praying for me via the phone. Just recently, some people went into the church and open fire, guns on many innocent citizens, both old, young, male, female, and even kids of 5years of age. So she has been scared of any journey, well I'm alive today that's why I post it. My mum kept on calling me throughout the journey till I got home.

I and my friends left Ilorin city in our private car, on our way, we notice the brake light is on, not knowing the brake oil has finished while trying to do that, we notice another fault in the car, it took us more than 30min to get it done after it was done... We continue our journey and started passing the police checkpoint without any stops.

The road police have made it a custom to stop day, owned by younger people, and then asked unnecessary questions and documents that aren't needed, we were stopped twice today which is very good, it's a good sign we had a peaceful journey.

After 6 hours of driving, we finally got home, I came down in front of my house, I bid my friends goodbye and went inside the house, I only saw my mom, she was on call, she had to drop the call and attend to me because she was very happy to see me, I hugged her and kiss her on her cheek, we had a quick thanksgiving prayer, I went to drop my bags inside the room, came back outside only to meet series of question, though, nothing was wrong with me but I felt exhausted. I was glad I was home, my other siblings started coming in one by one, they were all glad I was home, when some of my friends at I was home, they had to drive to my house to welcome me, I felt really blessed and loved. Without taking any drugs, I was already feeling so happy, my mom already prepared rice and stew for me with fish, I love fish too, so I was really glad.

I just hope I would be able to clear my head before this little holiday I gave myself is over. I just needed the rest and a reset mind, I don't know if you understand, but I just needed it.
