I used to think I was a social being like a social person not until I gained admission into the university, and that was when I realized that I, Esther nwa Chukwuemeka, am not social at all. I grew up in a home where we were not allowed to go out for long and going out must be done under the supervision of an adult, it is safe to say we were restricted in our parents' house and we grew up within that line except for my eldest brother who moves and attracts crowds anywhere he goes, he was the most social in my house after my mum.
It is said that kids copy what their parents do without them or their parents knowing; that is, kids tend to follow in the footsteps of their parents unconsciously, just seeing what is happening recurrently, they master it. This is my case; I used to think I was closer to my mum until recently, I realized I was closer to my Dad, but he was hardly there because he was working. This evening I was discussing with someone before I even saw the topic in Hivenaija about how I unconsciously copied my Dad, my mum is the outgoing type while my dad is always indoors if it is not a church or work you would not see my Dad outside, never, you can catch him unaware outside and he had just one friend who is late now (he died years ago) apart from that man I have never seen or heard my Dad call another person his friend and I just realized that I am doing the same thing I grew up seeing my Dad do.
When it is not school/ classes, church, or work you will not see me anywhere outside until recently when I started buying food because my hotplate got bad. My movement in school is triangular, or, should I say, square 🤔.
My house
(Work)
Class/ school church.
That is how my life has been, to know how bad it is if I'm not going to work or class or church I do not buy food stuff I would have to wait till when I want to go out to any of these places before I can enter the market to buy what I need in my house.
My friends have complained, and they are tired; even my partner is tired of complaining; the only close friend I have recently is tired, too, but I like my space. I do tell people that it is me, my bed, and nothing else. There is this party my level is organizing and I happen to be in their midst and realized they have mentioned the names of others except mine I decided to ask why my name was not there and two of my coursemates replied in unison " Even if there was a gun pointed to your head to come for this party you would not move an inch" I was shocked and embarrassed at the same time 🙀. I didn't take it to heart because I knew who I was, and I am trying so hard to adjust; it's not easy.
What do I do indoors you might want to ask?
All I do is listen to songs, go online, make a lot of music and dance videos, or sleep; that is majorly all I do when I'm not outside with others or in the places I mentioned earlier. I personally feel being indoors averts a lot of things. My Dad would say he has never seen anywhere someone was arrested for always being indoors but he has seen it on several occasions when someone was being arrested because he was somewhere he was not supposed to be at the moment.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you soon. 🤗
peace out ✌️
