The Good Anger
Sometimes, getting angry is a good thing because it forces us to push ourselves into doing something that we probably should have done a long time ago in order to help us become the best versions of ourselves.
I have this lady friend who would occasionally help me cook whenever she was less busy. Well few days ago, I had approached her and asked her if she could help me cook something but her response wasn't what I had expected. I didn't know it at the time but it turned out she was having a bad day that and just needed to be left alone, so she had turned me down.
It wasn't exactly what she said, but the way she said it that made me feel some kind of way, almost as if I was disturbing her. Although I wasn't exactly upset with her, I just hated the fact that I was in a position where I was hopeless and couldn't do anything if someone (in this case, her) didn't change her mind.
So I had left and made up my mind to take this cooking thing serious, I just needed to look for a way to get the ingredients. And the reason I felt like that was because, personally, I've never really had a huge problem with cooking, I just hated the process it took in getting the required ingredients in the market.. And this was because when it comes to the food market in Nigeria, you need to be very good in haggling prices with people, or you would end up using all of your cash on one thing.
And what's even more crazy is that most times, these market women can tell if you're a newbie to this or not, and depending on what kind of person they are, they might end up sucking your money dry or help you survive being in the market for that day.
Anyways, after finally getting everything ready, I was able to prepare my first stew in a long time yesterday. And in as much as I would have loved to tell you guys that it tasted amazing, I just feel like nothing I would say would be convincing enough, so we will just leave it at that.
It turned out that everything is out there on the internet and all we need to learn almost anything is a phone with good internet connection.
Funny enough, I feel like I wouldn't have had the pushed to want to learn all this if my lady friend hadn't made me feel some kind of way that day.
maybe she can't control her emotions and doesn't know how to express them, she seems like a good woman
Hehe. Rejection made you restless, and you ended up learning it. Maybe you felt a little bit humiliated by the rejection, but it's good for you as long as you take it positively.
