To Me, Ko Necessary.

I really don’t know how to process my thought, but then, I’ll just write as it comes and I hope it makes sense.

Every single day that each person experiences is just a random day. What makes any day important is because of the value we attach to it.

Personally for me, I don’t really fancy the happy new month, and year greetings and all. I do them, but I do them because I’m in a system that values it, and not really because I value it. I don’t really do personal messages, I give it out generally.

You can imagine someone saying that, “Happy New Year messages makes me feel loved". To that person, every new year means a lot to me and I have got to understand that part of the way of showing love to people is speaking their love languages.

I went to church like the normal end of the year service that we get to do every year and when it was 12am, brethrens in the church were screaming and hugging each other. I saw the excitement on people’s face.

I was on my seat throughout and just greeted the people that came to greet me. I’m not an anti new year person. I see every day as a random day, and somehow, I just see it that way.

A lot of people felt I was sad because I’m not a gentle person. So, they had assumptions that something was wrong with me and the truth is, I am actually very fine.

My expression may look like I’m ungrateful to God or I’m not happy to see people around or rejoice because it’s a new year, but that’s not true.

I left church after service and got home to eat Eba with some nice soup laced with fish, yummy! I slept and I woke up to loads of messages in my DM. Sincerely, I felt it wasn’t necessary.

I responded to 1 person and the remaining messages are in my DM waiting for a response. I definitely will respond soon.

I’m also very sure that a lot of people will be angry with me because I did not send them gratitude messages and all. The truth is, I’m not going to send. I’ll send it when I deem it necessary and if any of them is enough to confront me, I would apologize.

In all of these, it doesn’t mean I don’t love my family, my friends, my loved ones,and everyone I value, but then, I have a mindset that has shaped my actions and the way I behave, but then, I’ll still say a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you.

I love you and I wish you all the best in 2022.

Cheers 🥂

N.B- Don’t mind my title. I’ve been looking for the best title to give it, but I just did not get the right fit.
