Edna speaks

This week I was involved in a couple of negotiations. I had to find a middle ground, somewhere that made sure everyone was happy. I was so emotionally invested on finding that place so I put a lot of thought and work into it. After thinking and negotiating for a while, I had to settle that there was no middle ground. It was heart breaking. All my work, sweat and time was wasted. I was sad, but I wasn't the only one that felt bad with the outcome. The party I was bargaining for wasn't particularly happy as well. It hurt to see that I couldn't help. Like most humans that turn into philosophers on social media, this situation led me to think 'why can't we all be happy...?', 'why can't we all be happy at the same time?' After much soul searching I came to accept what I've always known but never wanted to admit. We can't all be happy, at least not all at once. For some people, their happiness lie at the beginning of someone else's sa

Sometime in February, I was at the cinema. The day I went, they had Black Panther, 50 shades freed and Maze runner: Death cure all lined up and running at about the same time. I was very ecstatic about watching Black Panther due to the hype, I wanted to see what was making people go crazy 😁. However, I was also intrigued by the 50 shades series so I wanted to see how it would all come to an end, plus I had seen a couple of trailers before. I also wanted to watch Maze runner, although not as much as I wanted to see the other 2 but I've also followed the series so I wanted to see the end of it all. Plus Dylan O'Brien 😍 who played the role of Thomas was there so I had to see one of my favourite actors take on 'Wckd' for the last time on screens. After weighing all my options, I decided to watch Black Panther with hopes that I would be able to get the rest at school from fellow movie fanatics 😊. Thank God I did. Now here I am, 2 months later, I have both Maze r

I'm easily irritated. For example, I can't stand people posting pictures that have already been posted before on a group chat. Anytime I see that, I just feel like calling the person out for it. I also really dislike broadcast messages that threaten you to send with statements like "if you don't send to xx number of people, you'll die or not get admission into university; it happened to Jane and Paul" or the ones that try to test your faith "if you love Jesus, you'll send or a conversation between God and satan 😑". I really hate those kind of broadcasts so when people send them to me, I almost go ballistic. I also really don't like small talk. You know, all those conversations that are just 'hey, how are you, how was your night/day, have you eaten.... ok', the end. I feel those conversations are largely useless. I feel like if you have something to say to me, just come straight up and tell me, don't rigmarole, I get th

A couple weeks back, while reading a post on my friend's blog about the importance of drinking water, I decided to change my consumption habits from carbonated drinks to water. At that time, I was so convinced that I couldn't do it, I said to myself 'water is so bitter' 😣, I'd probably puke if I take too much of it 😣. I know you're probably thinking 'is it not the same water that we were taught in high school to be colorless, odorless and tasteless?' Well, to me, at that time, water was bitter and I couldn't imagine myself going everyday with that 'bitter taste' in my mouth. Day 1 went by and I was able to live with the 'bitter taste' in my mouth. Day 2 up to day 6 felt the same way. On day 7, a friend gave me a bottle of carbonated drink along with a slice of cake from her birthday goodies. There it was, my first temptation. Since I couldn't bring myself to buy carbonated drinks, temptation decided to show up with a
