The thoughts continues on a Tuesday.

“Tuesday is a day to remember that you are responsible and accountable for each word you speak, so make each expression one to be celebrated, not castigated.”

Byron Pulsifer

I said yesterday that to determine if the week would go well, we would know on Monday but does it always work like that? Sometimes, Monday might go bad in a way we didn't expect while the rest of the day turns out amazingly. Monday might be a cool day but other days would be like hell. So, we can never agree with the above phrase because things happen in a way we do not expect. Life is unpredictable.

Yesterday feels like the whole days would be great because I am already feeling another energy and vibe this Tuesday morning. I made sure I visited over 20 posts here as I wanted to spend more time on Hive so I could get to the top 10 on the engagement league. I guess I couldn't meet up but I tried my best.

I do not have stew at home and that could make me spend unnecessarily by eating Junk food. Junks don't necessarily mean you have to get them outside, do you know eating too many Noodles is also junk? Yes, there is a side effect of eating that kind of meal, especially in excess, so one needs to be careful.

After making sure of my engagement in the afternoon as I spent 2 hours and some minutes on this platform, I went to get chicken. Remember, someone gave me some pepper yesterday? I only bought a few tomatoes and grated them all. I cooked the stew so it would be ready today so I can cook some rice too. I already ate boiled yam and Egg sauce for lunch and that was enough for me all through the day as I kept drinking water. I noticed that when one eats yam, one will continue to drink more water as he or she will be thirsty every minute.

My sister called me, informing me that one of our cousins would be going to school this week as she has been admitted into a federal university. Though, Dad already called to tell me that on Sunday, I didn't know I should call her to wish and bid her a beautiful journey as a student at the University. My sister said I should also call her but I am afraid because that girl might ask for money 😂😂

I might dodge calling her or perhaps I should. I will make my talk so swift and end the call immediately so she won't have to add another discussion. I have a lot I am dealing with at the moment but I decided not to disturb anybody but to keep pushing and managing.

A friend chatted me up some days ago asking for urgent money. Only if she realize I need money at that time too because I wasn't having anything in my account. I had to borrow from my younger sister. I bought some clothes days ago and I am yet to balance the payment which I promised the seller by the end of the month.

My younger sister who is the last born chatted with me in the evening telling me she needs to buy cream, perfume and roll-on as the one we bought for her then has finished. Now, can you see it's good to come as the last born? I asked my friend why I didn't come to this earth as the last born so I won't have to bother about responsibility? 😂😂

Seriously, it's not easy but no one wants to believe I also need help too. People will keep telling me I have a lot of money. Is it because I blog and earn dollars? Why am I working tirelessly then? I don't like it when people think you don't need any help again because you are earning in dollars and not naira. Even if I am earning in dollars and you are earning in naira, we are both working to survive and help our families. But they aren't ready to hear me out. I am not there yet but I am working towards getting there.

Being the second born is full of responsibility, especially when you have three younger siblings to cater for. I am doing my best though but when it comes to the point that people start seeing us as someone who has a lot in their accounts and shouldn't need any help, then, I don't think such an idea is good. We all need help even if we have enough. Do you know their plans? A wealthy man will still accept that money you are dashing out. It's not all about being rich and you shouldn't accept but you, giving from your heart. I hope we understand this.

There are some people I am following on Noise.app but I can't comment on their posts. I will be able to do that if you kindly follow me by clicking this link

It's limited to 10 people for now. Let's move our interaction there too. Thanks so much 🤗

Thanks for your time.
