Reflections of a random rebel.

So I finally decided to get my acts together and get on with this blog thing. I was inspired to finally start because of a terrible nightmare I had. I decided to share my story maybe some people will learn from it. My favorite pair of shoes appeared to me in my dream three nights consecutively. The first night it was pleading with me to have mercy then the next night it threatened me and then, on the third night, I don’t know what happened but i woke up from sleep cos I heard a sound like someone was trying to open the main door. I went to the living room. Lo and behold, my lovely, beautiful loafers was trying to escape.it has finally decided to leave me…

Some of us own some things that we love so much, for me one of such things is my golden-brown loafers. It is so comfortable and it made the mistake of coming to this world in a color that actually matches almost everything. I wear it to work like three days out of five. Sometimes when am done dressing up and am looking for it, I find it in a funny place. Trying to hide from me but after so much cajoling and promises to treat it better it will agree to go to work with me. I guess it got to a point where it couldn’t take it no more, hence the nightmare.

I guess by now some people are beginning to wonder why I can’t just go on and buy another one. Its like this, if there is one problem that I have, its acquiring of shoes. I have never bought any other material thing as much as have bought shoes. But most times I buy them out of “ojukokoro’-I know I can’t wear them for long or that they are not very comfy but I still buy them. Unfortunately, I love high-heeled and very colorful shoes, but they are not everyday wear and besides I end up with these terrible cramps at night when I wear heels for long. I won’t disclose the number of shoes I have gotten this year for security reasons (lol) but am still yet to wear some of them. I know it’s a big problem and I have decided to address it.

I honestly don’t think the loafers should be complaining yet. At least there are things that have had for years and I have refused to let go of. Some of them I cant remember when I got them but they are still here with me. Like my cream colored stretchy trouser pants. Its has been with me since I was a size twelve -In my first year in the university,2003-till now and we still have a lot of years to spend together or my black, three-quarter pants or my secondary school dairy and poem book or my black pouch or my black low-waist jeans…the list is endless.

I guess we all have list of favorite things that people just don’t get why we love them and hold on to them. Just like some old friends who we don’t have anything in common with anymore but we still want them around. Whose life has gone in opposite directions from ours but despite the social, educational, financial or even religious differences, we just can’t let them go. This could be because of the memories shared, or the fact that they were there through it all, or the fact that you very comfortable around them. All in all, I must say I have my list of favorite things just like I have my list of all time favorite people and it is definitely not a crime to hold on to these few things and people. So if my loafers decides that its time to leave me, am gonna let it go but I just hope it realizes before it is too late that no one is ever love it like I did and still do!!!
