The joy of break-ups

Why do we always look as break-ups as a disadvantage. I personally choose to see the glass half full and see breakups as an advantage. Let me tell you why.

1. The weight loss-well to be fair, it might get to the stage where you start looking like a lollipop (almost quite scary)..but ultimately for people like me who find it hard to lose any amount of weight at any given time, this is a HUGE advantage. the weight just falls off!!

2. The productivity-to stop yourself from sinking into the deep abyss called depression you find activities to do. After my last brek-up, i started writing my first book. In the weeks after the breakup, i wrote furiously..people read the first chapter and begged to see more..As i gradually got over the break=up..the words got fewer and the chapters dried up. Today, am i finished? NO..lol

3. The attention- like moths to a flame, humans are drawn to sadness. When you experience a break-up, people are around you. Off course it's irritating at first, but gradually you come to accept it with as much graciousness as the queen.

4. The attention (part 2)- why is it that you suddenly become hotter after a break-up. People are suddenly all over you. There are rebound possibilities left right and centre..*sigh*

5. The kindness- Because people are scared that you might be broken (and you very well might be)..they become so nice to you...i do't know..what do they think you are going to do? kill yourself?

*disclaimer* this is strictly for jokes and is not meant to be offensive to anyone that may currently be broken hearted.

Compartmentalisation

I've always wondered how people can compartmentalize. Before i go into this obvious rant..perhaps i should explain what i mean. Compartmentalisation has to do with putting stuff that you do in separate compartments in your head. that is, for example..you cheat on someone but feel no guilt because to you..it's a totally different thing. This might seem slightly psycotic..like think of murderers that have families and all. To them the murder has absolutely nothing to do with being a father..etc.

But it's not my place to pick murderers minds..i want to pick cheaters minds. So how do people do it? The excuse i most hate is 'it's just sex'..what does that even mean?? How can sex with someone else be just sex? off course it's just not sex..just like it's just not a kiss..what it is is just cheating. How are people so blase? I've been the cheatee (guy that girl cheated with)..and i still don't understand it. In my defence..i didn't know. Great were his powers of compartmentalization!! If anyone knows how..please tell me how?? Because quite frankly i'm baffled.

Ramblings

I read about a woman that had AIDS. The truly fascinating thing about the story was not that she had AIDS. It was that after she found out she had it, she got married to a man she met AFTER her diagnosis. How amazing is that??

It awakens my faith..not just in the male race..but in the human race. Obviously, im not hoping i get a life threatening disease, so i can find someone who loves me for that..but it feels good to know that there are people like that on earth! In Nigeria!!

I was talking to this guy yesterday and he was telling me how girls are really confused. For once, i didnt argue. Girls ARE confused. In one day, a girl can decide to never talk to a guy again, to break up with him, to give him another chance, to break up again....is there really any point giving a girl advice??

LOL..yest a guy told me that it's up to a girl to tell a guy she likes him and then he'll start to try to like her..Let me explain better

GIRL- I like you
GUY- i'd be lying if i said i liked you now..but theres a 70% chance that eventually i'll like you!

LOL..how very sad is that??

How come??

I wonder:

1.how come black people always find other black people..

2. How come Nigerians always know other nigerians..each conversation has to start with tracing mutual friends..truly..truly..what difference does it make if my cousin is someone you havent talked to in 7 yrs?

3. How come people can still be categorized and people still do things like call primark clothes 'housegirl clothes'?

4. How come people prefer an expensive gift to one that thought actually went into?

5. How come people care so much what other people do/eat/wear/get as gifts??

6. How come people have to try and 'nigerianise' themselves..by claiming to like stuff they don't? Why do people care if i prefer mash to eba?? Why does that mean 'you've been living here too long'...um no..it means..i prefer mash to eba!!

7. How come people still insult guys in front of their friends to look 'hard' or whatever..and then go out with them..Looking like a bitch is stupid..and yes you hate guys..they are evil..but u can't stay single..or better still..try another race.

8. How come size 12 is fat!

9. How come girls still like talking about other girls boobs..um primary school anyone??

10. How come people assume that the better looking person in a relationship is the one that likes the other person less??

If you have an answer..please help..

On another note, there's i'm going to an event tonight that might turn out to be extremely interesting or drastically dry!!

I wish me luck..i might need it

Case of the Ex

I met him on a sunday. My friend sent me to lie to him about being asleep. Being the pathetic lair that i was the first words he said to me were 'thats the lie she sent you to tell me abi?'...The first time we talked, he took my book and wrote his numbers. All three. That was it. We happened.

We were perfect until we made it 'official'. One month and six days after we started 'going out'. he asked me for a break. I didnt eat for four days!lol..(i dont think it can ever happen again).. Basically, our relationship didnt really recover after we got back together. So thats how he became my ex.

But woah..two years later, im still hung up on him..na jazz? I hold every single guy up to him. I dont get it.

Err..i had a lot to say..but i have no time to say it right now..so..soon.
