Knowing Too Much: A Benefit or Harm Holla everyone! Good evening READLAND. I hope we had a perfect day today. I enjoyed my day with the heavy rainfall that took the entire city in surprise. No one actually knew it was going to be a heavy downpour by the day. The morning was bright and the sky was clear with the sun shining bright. Towards noon, the weather began to change just as it does all the time. The sun was still shining but not so bright, when heaven let loose and it started raining heavily. What a surprising rainfall. People left some of their clothes under the sun but unfortunately, they got wet by the rain. Luckily for me, I was home to pack up some stuff and keep them away from the rain. It rained for more than two hours after just a week and few days of rainfall. The weather is freezing till now..... I saw another random question and answers two days ago from @Probinsyana I have saved them to put my entry. Coming back to read after a while and seeing some interesting questions made me a welcome. I have missed but not much anyway. Let get down to business lovelies **From your childhood, are there experiences that stand out?** Yeah, so much if them. Funny and mean experiences both in the classroom and outside the classroom. I spent some if my childhood days in the school dormitory and I still recall so many experiences then. Back then, we were not allowed to take in provisions or but food outside except the school canteen. I still remember I had a group of friends that we roll together. One of them was Timothy, we call him Timo. One day after breakfast, he didn't have his full and wanted more to eat. There was no way he could get another food except by going outside the school. The gateman was strongly minted at the gate and because he in in our crew, we decided to take the risk together. Hehe! Three of us went to the gateman and was talking with him when Timo sneaked out of the gate to buy himself something to eat. Just immediately it happened, the school bell rung. We had to go back to the class while Timo was stucked outside. According to him, he had no courage to face the consequences of breaking the rules and he went back to the store he bought cookies from. To cut the story short, he was caught and he mentioned our names. We blatantly denied his claims and have him serve his purnishmemt alone. We felt sorry for him anyways but funny enough, that was too late. I'll always remember this. Lol! **Do you have a favourite holiday and why?** Yes I had a fantastic and probably the best kiddies memorable holidays. It was December break for Christmas when I travelled to spend the season with my aunt. I was the smallest in the house and they all treated me like a princess. I used to have only one Christmas cloth every year but that year, I counted three. One from my parents and the other from my aunt and her husband. The best memory was visiting the big red clothed and white beard Santa. I never knew there was a Santa like that, so different from the one's I have seen. I got a gift from him that I protected like it was my life till I went back home and show it to my mom. That was a perfect Christmas holiday for me. **Have you ever encountered food that was hard to swallow but you didn’t want to offend someone?** This has happened to my sisters on several occasions. For me, I never encountered such situation. Maybe I have been lucky enough with my social life and places I visited. What kind of actually happened to me was tasting a tribal food that is so popular by name. People have always mentioned it and and have spoken lovely about it. I just happened to travel to the part of that country where the food is served on daily bases. Lo and behold, the family I visited had prepared it as a special welcome dish for me. It looked slimy at sight and all I could remember was summoning courage to eat it and praying that it tastes good. Like magic and a prayer answered, I tasted it and discovered that what they have been telling me was true. Till today, I spend my time in the local restaurants eating that particular food. It is called ewedu food. So lovely! **How does “knowing too much” benefit or harm you?** Knowing is one thing that is very important. Just like they say "information is power" knowledge is life. It happens that we can't possibly know everything, not even everything single thing around us. In my town, we refer to people that knows too much as "over sabi" which means "too much knowledge" . This act if knowing has its advantage and disadvantages. For instance, if a person should know everything that people say about him or her, there is possiblity that the person will see everyone as his enemy. This is because even friends say ugly things at our back. So, what always happens when we ask to know or hear what a person is saying behind us is violence. Trouble follows in most cases and in such situation, it is a harm. I think is just okay how naturally we are made not to know everything. I must hear this! I must hear that! Has cost a lot of problems in our society. **Is it better to forget the past**? "Move in , forget it and get going" is what everybody is always good at saying, but the truth is that it is almost impossible to forget the past. For me, in a situation where I am wronged and asked for forgiveness, I would forgive but that never means I have forgotten (positively saying). The past happens to reshape the future and that's my belief. Therefore, if you forget that past entirely, you could repeat the same mistakes again, over and over again. What are the three best things about you? Advertise yourself in the best three ways. **Acceptance**: This is a quality of me that makes me have more friends both in school and outside school environment. I believe in unity and I accept everyone and everything in my circle. **Social: I** love interacting with people wherever I find myself. This has saved my night some years ago. There were three of us that visited a friend from afar whose mother's funeral was taking place. Due to the much crowd, there was no free room to sleep. She had to clean up a storage for us all to stay and spend the night. It wasn't clean and a healthy place to stay at all. So exposed to insects and bad air. I had to make a move of making a friend immediately that night and introduced myself to her. I was so lively that she felt my vibes and that was the chance I created for me and my friends to spend the night in her place, just a walk down the streets. We were so comfortable, relaxed and we'll treated. **Hard-working**: I have a never give up spirit that motivates me to work more and be the best in all I do (positive). Thanks for reading lovelies and have a wonderful night. **Gianna-B, 2022 and all rights reserved** **#ClubbrokeBCH**

Being friendly is a nice thing..I feel pity for your friend Timothy. I don't think he will ever want to sneak out again..
Your a very friendly sis and easy to find friends,
I remember when our school prohibited us to wear colored clothes inside that's why they don't let us in if that's the case. It happened that a lot of my classmates have broken the rules and they were stuck at the gate. Since we considered how far their houses were, some of my classmates inside let them borrow the white shirt they were wearing. There were some who are assigned to bring the clothes over and when the operation was about to get successful, a guard and a teacher caught us. So the whole class was punished. HAHAHA
