With a lot of people looking back at their lives throughout the year. Some measure their goals and what they have achieved. Yet some others are unhappy with little goals accomplished. Others are just glad that they are alive, cos they saw shege pro max.🥺 Some are busy trying to cut off more people from their lives.🙄 Others are adding more people who are worth it. Then there are some still with the “new year, new me” syndrome. Some others planning new year’s resolutions they’ll practice on January 1st and forget about till the next January 1st. Some thinking of all the plans for the new year. Others, just winging it. Some had new lives added to their families. Others lost loved ones.🥺 And miss them every day. Why am I going on and on about what people do or think about at the end of the year? Hehehehe! I guess I just like...

She loved gloomy days. Dark clouds were her favorite weather. Where the Sun didn’t scorch her and the rains didn’t come down to wet the ground... And her. The weather would just be cold, or cool. At work, earlier in the day, she had longed to be in her bed, with food, wine, and a movie. Oh well, she had to work. But then, she left work early to prepare for her date. No, not date, she thought to herself. She had left work early to prepare for her “meeting” with Lucas. It was about 5:45 pm and she still hadn’t found what to wear. Her clothes were littered on her bed, her handbag buried underneath. Which was why she hadn’t heard her phone ring. She wasn’t prepared when Amuche and Ngozi barged into her room.
