Roommate turned other way round.

It's a beautiful new day my lovelies. Yesterday's test gave me a weak moment but I didn't allow that define my happiness. I got home, prepared and ate my meal. After taking a short nap, I opened my laptop to start engaging online. I was satisfied with what I was able to do last night which gave me a sound sleep 😊

I woke up feeling happy as usual. Wait! Do I even have anything bothering me at all? Yes, I have but everyone have a decision each day. Either to stay positive or be negative, it's all left to you but for me, I am optimistic each day and I am sure God is always by my side.

I don't like inconveniencing anyone and I wouldn't want anyone to do the same for me. The first year I entered school, I had a roommate but when I saw how it was going then and when I was not comfortable with it, I begged my sister to allow me have my own home when I knew she was the only one helping with finances then and she accepted. God blessed her too and since then, I do not try having a roommate and I am very fine and comfortable with it.

This lady came to my room yesterday lamenting how things were going for her. Let me call her Lady A. She wanted me to borrow her $20 because of how she narrated her issue to me. According to her, she rented a room and when she got an admission then, she pasted on Facebook that she was in need of a roommate if there is anyone available. A lady (Lady B) chatted her up and they both started living together. They contributed money together to buy bed, curtains and everything in the house. Lady A applied to another university last year and she was given admission.

She planned renting another room because of some misunderstandings between them and she was told she can't move into the new house except she pays her money which was remaining $20. Her mother promised by the end of January but Lady B has been giving her attitude since the beginning of this month.

While still explaining, I felt for her. She continued that she has gone to meet people to borrow her money till month end but no one was helping. She talked to her Ex and he promised to give her with the condition that they both will be dating again.

The worst part that got me angry was lady B telling her to go back to her Ex so she can collect the money.

Like, why would she suggest such idea? Just because she needs money, she should return to where she has been before and left for a reason known to her.

Lady A cannot go back just because she needs help. I felt for her because she was being betrayed here. Someone she accommodated in the first place now became another thing to her now and her attitude changed to lady A.

She told me she would sell everything in the house and divide the money since they both contributed to buy things in the house just for what she did to her. I told her not to do such. If she acts immaturely, she should apply wisdom and be matured. Two people can never be stubborn or wicked but one has to bring him or herself down for peace to reign. I told her not to turn things the way it came to her.

Lady B didn't act nicely and do not remember what tomorrow might bring. How many days is left in this month just to be patient and allow her stay till she has the complete money. Her parent already gave her house rent and has paid. This is what is getting her angry and want Lady A to leave. Lady A's parent are struggling and I know her to be hustling too. She is trying to fend for herself without looking up to anyone but as things are, it is becoming sad to me.

We shouldn't be surprise because life is just the way it is. We are bound to be surprised and shocked to people's character and how things turn within a twinkle of the eyes. But one thing we should never do is taking revenge of their actions but leaving it to let go and keep hoping in God.

I gave her $10 but told her I didn't borrow her but gave her willingly. She should find means to the remaining one. She was so happy that she ran outside to call her mum. Her mum prayed for me and I felt calm in me.

One thing in life that I want is prayer. When I see people praying for me, it's enough for me because I believe God will surely hear such prayer.

This life is short and we need to be good and lenient with people especially when they act bad to us, we shouldn't be too quick to give them back what they did to us.

Thanks for reading
