It’s morning again… damn!!!
I guess it’s high time we learn to
dance in the rain and bask in the sun.
I am in the habit of trusting people
very fast. I assume that everyone has a subtle spirit like I often assume
I do. In my whole living and various interactions with people from different
walks of life, I realized there is a breed of people you are better of living
without. People that you better chose to ignore and not feel guilty about.
First, I realized that there is this
bunch that is often called the hangers on. This caliber, please for the sake of
your own sanity, should be avoided. I know you have one or two of this kind
that you have either dumped or are working on dumping. It could be family or an
acquaintance. This people will very
often be the ones with this mega mpangos aligned for you to show up and finance.
From road trips to night outs smoking shisha in some high-end joints to house parties
of some prominent wannabe, you name it. They will even organize personal
entertainment for you. Need I say that some of them can even sacrifice their
own close partners for the sake of turn up? They have the tendency to make you
will think that they own the world. Tsst! No wonder they manage to lure you
into thinking that they are the banks until you realize that another of the
very quiet dudes or ladies enjoying their mojito or slippery nipple cocktails
is the Mr. Moneybag. Some of them will kiss the ground you walk on just to
ensure their security in your company. This is their lifestyle, living on
someone else sweet sweat. The hustle is real ohh!
Secondly, we have this bunch that will
do anything to ruin your mood and day and life. I think sometimes you are the
only one they think about. Can you imagine them in their house planning how
they are going to put poison in your tea? And you wonder what you ever did to
them. They just don’t like your guts, period! Unfortunately this people are
always in your business because they just want to know the newest events in your
life for them to build a fake story. Very annoying huh? They will be the first
to know when you get a raise, when you are sick, when you even have your
periods. Yeah, they do and they will make a story out of any event in your life so
interesting that you will be surprised. To some it could be friends,
colleagues, neibours friends of your friends and to others an actual stranger.
You just need to be careful when giving your personal stories. They will go to any length to frustrate your
efforts.
The other bunch is the overly intrusive.
Ohh, you don’t get a breather. You will get those weird questions about the
cost of anything you own. Anything you eat, touch or drive. Have you ever met
someone and the first question they ask is, I love you hair, where do you make
it and at how much? Damn! The last statement kills it. How much is your rent,
what is the CC of the car you own, what is your daily transport to work. Jesus!
It’s like they are going to sort all your financial issues. Then if you are
kind enough to answer all the intrusive questions, you will hear the newest
version of the narration and I doubt you will like it. They even go to lengths
of befriending you family and friend so that they can just understand your
lifestyle. Especially women, we have this weakness. I don’t know what would
happen if a day goes without someone asking about the quality and price of this
or the other. Damn!
