Confession Time: The Three Habits That Annoys Me And Mess With My Peace.

For this topic, I have got a lot of things to write, but well, we are meant to just say three. And since I have to pick, I'll be going for those things that make really uncomfortable, it will be hard choosing though. But m, these one's I am about to mention are not stuffs like...I hate those who chew loudly, or tjisr who just use foul languages and stuffs like that, even though I don't like those ones, these ones I am about to mention are personal, deep, frustrating realities that walk into my space and really mess with my peace.

Firstly, I dont like people who pretend to be wise by talking in a confusing or dramatic way just to look smart. Am sure you know those kinds of people, they talk in riddles, they can't simply say they are broke, they will be like attaching proverbs and unnecessary things to word. Just be open with it, make it simple... I'm broke, simple, if we can't help you then we will laugh together. But, they won't, they must sprinkle unnecessary mystery on everything. If you see them looking or feeling somehow off and you ask how they are doing, they will respond by saying...sometimes, silence speaks louder than the noise we crave, and silence atimes is golden ”...Mr man, Mrs woman, are you okay or not? This thing annoys me, not that I hate wisdom, I actually love wise people, but here in Nigeria, we pretend too much. We pretend to be happy when we’re dying inside. We pretend we’re fine when our world is falling apart. We pretend to be strong when in reality we are weak. So, why add fake philosophical stuffs to an already hard life.

Number two, are the people who think being wicked is the same thing as being strong. This people are mostly unintelligent, they don't know the difference, they believe that if you’re not harsh, rude or cold, then you’re weak. They believe that if you are soft-hearted, people will treat you like you like a gullible individual. I've seen so many people brag about how no one can mess with them, yet they themselves have messed with almost everyone. How is that strength. And it annoys me because I’ve had to unlearn that myself. I used to think I had to become stone-hearted to survive this country. But, this country is hard enough, so, why that. Real strength is being gentle in a world that tries to harden you, real strength is holding your peace when you can scatter everything. So when I see people who act otherwise, I just kook at them and shake my head, life is already hard, why make it harder.....

Now, the nunber three, those people who are dirty and are comfortable about it. This one actually hits me differently. There are those who are just so comfortable around dirt, like they see nothing wrong with it. You will see them sitting inside a room with dirty used plates of two, three days ago,.you enter their rooms and everywhere is scattered, they never know where things are, they search for every single thing since they don't know where they place it, they are not orderly, they just do things anyhow.

You are greeted with smell when you enter their room, their fan are filled with dust, cobwebs all around the ceiling area, the waste bin filled to the brim and all. These set of people actually needs God, you can't really know God and be dirty, that's my bekive though, theres a saying that says..Cleanliness is next not Godliness. And, for some, it’s not poverty, some people have money, but still they live as if they want to get the most dirtiest being on earth. Cleanliness is not just hygiene, it’s sanity, its Godliness, it’s order, it’s basic respect for self.

It is that time that they are expecting visitors that they now start dong stuffs and stuffing dirty clothes in their bags and using air freshener to cover the smells. What annoys me most it that, if you visit them unannounced and you act somehow or don't want to stay for long they act shock as if they don't know why, or they start giving excuses for their dirty, littered and disorganized space. So far you have time to eat and swipe through the internet, why not have time to take care of your space too.

Maybe those things I mentioned made me sound picky or dramatic, but sincerely, these things doesn't sit well with me. I just hope you can relate.
