I Am Getting Married.🥂

That’s if my mum doesn’t marry me off first.😭

Hey, my beautiful readers.☺️

I’m excited to write you again.🥰

Send. Help.😩🙏🏾

Before I delve into the main topic, I just need to talk about a few things.

First, I think that long/extended holidays are a no-no for me. Spending too much time at home gives me the unwanted job of being an unpaid housegirl, cook, cleaner, you name it! I even had to open the gate several times and I joked about my mum giving me a gateman uniform cos I don too open the gate tire!😭😩

Second, I’ve missed school so much.😩 I miss the stress of school life. I miss being overly active and busy with my daily activities. I miss being productive in school. I never thought I’d say this but school is the perfect distraction from my thinking about life. When I’m in school, I’m too busy to be thinking about life or whatever because I’m actively working towards that future. I know that two weeks after resumption, I’d be crying premium tears and wailing about how much I miss home-cooked meals and not having to think about what to eat but still..

Third, this break made me think about my life very well. I took breaks that made my head so clear. I realized that I started to share too much on my social media so I had to take a step back and rearrange my life well. I’m glad it helped. Now, all my social battery is down to zero.😩

Now, to the main topic: Marriage. Safe to assume that my mummy has plans to send me out of my daddy’s house cos why is she bringing up marriage in every conversation, ejor?

Just the other day, she was talking to my brother and me about what a dowry consists of. She mentioned 42 tubers of yams( as per we have a farm where we plant yam Abi?); 25 liters keg of palm oil (come, are they drinking it or what?); 25 liters keg of groundnut oil( ororo is cost now o! Ah! Odindin 25liters.); portmanteau with clothes; goat .. wo wo, to marry is not easy o.😭 My brother asked if it’s the whole family that we’re marrying or what?

She also started saying things like you’ll bring the person you want to marry to the family twice to be sure before you introduce him to your father. You people?? Are you seeing this? I’m a small girl o.😩 Abeg o.

Another thing she said was that 25 is a good age to get married. Me starting to calculate how old I am and the year I’d be 25. You people it’s not far o. Be like this woman wants to marry me off.😭 Ara adugbooo, send help.😭

Wedding bells are doing gbaun gbaun gbaun in my ears o. My ears have almost blocked. Again, send help.😭

Till I write to you again,

Hopefully, she hasn’t married me off by then,

I remain your sweet baby girl,

Ruthie.🥰

I’m adding this last minute as a random thought.. I don’t know how I feel about this newsletter. This is one of the very few times I've been so unsure about something I wrote. Anyways, I'm plugging in a very sweet and romantic love meeting that I made up in my head here. Tainx.😘😂
