Quite The Rollercoaster

Have you had a day that started so well that you thought God must have touched you that day and your day was going to be all blissful, only to see your day take a turn? I hope not, at least not the way it happened to me today. Where are my manners? Good evening people, how are you? Hope your day was good? Mine was really a rollercoaster.

So, you might not have known this or you might have, but since I opened this new account over a week ago, I had not been visited by you know who, but I did my best to keep going, interacting and posting articles, at least one a day. It wasn't exactly a pleasant experience waiting for so long considering it came almost immediately on my last account, but I wasn't going to give up as I promised in my first article https://read.cash/@Methion/third-time-is-a-charm-fc71dca6

So imagine how I must have been feeling this morning when I told @Kushyzee about how frustrating it was getting for me, and how I might just give up( I know that sounds selfish, but if you read my article https://read.cash/@Methion/this-is-my-motivation-b1359290 you would understand), only for me to check back and realize that he had visited my article!! I was elated and almost screamed out loud at the farm. All of a sudden, my day was looking really bright or so I thought.

I set out to do my other business for the day, which included going to the bank to collect the statement of account I requested yesterday, but couldn't get because they had network issues. You would not believe these guys gave me a statement covering a time period I didn't ask for and I didn't notice it until I got home. I was livid, but i had to go back to get another one, by the time I finished, there wasn't anytime left to spend with @Mhizutty

I just had to escort her for her hostel to collect some things before we both head to our different homes for the weekend. I personally never go home, and this pisses my parents off, that they have to call and request so many times before i spare thrm a weekend, but this time, i had missed my mum and had to just come home to see her.

Soon enough @Mhizutty and I had entered our different shuttle services from the school campus while the sky was turning really black; rain was coming. I got to Ring Road and needed to take another bus to sapele road, that was when things started spinning out of control. For a route that cost #200 on a normal day, the drivers were requesting pepper to pay #500 just because it was about to rain, hence everybody was hurrying home. Apart from not wanting to pay the #500 fare cos it was ridiculous, I also didn't want to risk having my phone getting damaged or missing while dragging with other commuters for the few available buses.

I shall started walking, hoping to get a bus ahead (who sent me that kind thing😂😂). I would soon realise that the multitude waiting for buses was everywhere along the route; before I knew it, I have had to walk a distance of more than eight kilometres and the day had suddenly taken a gloomy appearance in my eyes😂😂. My hip socket was beginning to feel like it was about to pull off( me I sha couldn't not take it anymore). I just tried a little more and got myself to my father's work place. My phone was dead all this time.

The man see him pikin, he shake head😂😂. He just had to close early, so as to bring me home, but fate seem to disagree. The traffic gridlock was something else, we literally spent at least an hour in it, but praise God we manage to get through and got home. Mummy not let me sit down finish before she begin fill me with food like I was about to die of starvation ( that's one of the things I missed while away in school). Well, I have finally charged my phone, actually charging right now and I am so happy this rollercoaster of a day is coming to an end. It was one hell of a day, hopefully tomorrow will be completely bright for me.

Closing thoughts

I didn't just come here to bore you with the story of my day. There are lessons for us here

1. Perseverance pay. Keep doing what you do, it will pay off eventually ( unless it is something evil)

2. Nobody ever promised you a perfect life or day. Learn to live with adversity, it's inevitable

3. Never encourage wrong ( like I chose nort to with the drivers. Although I am not so sure I would do it again if we took the hand of time back😂)

4. In all things give thanks to God.
