Loops!


Ever felt you've finally reached a decision on something or perhaps, have things planned well in your head  and suddenly life throws you off balance,  making it seem an invisible force is monitoring every of your thoughts..?, well, so it was for me.
I messaged my boss the next morning, informing him i was resigning but to my utmost surprise or should i say relief ,he never replied my message nor called back (grin). I determined to chase those dreams like it was the last bus of the night. Fast forward, did i mention my siblings and i lost our parent at a tender age..?well, yes,we did and my darling sister was the little mom we never had (a rare soul).
 We took it upon ourselves this fateful day to stroll the whole street and discover the best and most sane barbing salon around, there i was beaming like a newly wedded bride, rejoicing to run her race. We approached the first salon and it seemed welcoming but for the barber in charge who wanted a hundred and fifty thousand naira for just 3 months training (pheeeeeeew), in case you are getting it all twisted, the fee is not inclusive of  a clipper nor other barbing equipment i will be needing all through my stay o, we bargained and he  said he wasn't going to take nothing less than 90k i.e.,30k per month, it was at this junction i knew nothing in this country is close to fair.
 Moving to the next salon, it was a total NO, NO for me, the barber didn't seem a pleasant person, he looked frustrated and sounded like a pessimist, he mentioned at some point that i wasn't going to get the nitty gritty of barbing except he trained me for 3 straight years , (you don't want to calculate the amount).. After what seem like a fruitless effort, we went back home with mixed feelings but I wasn't going to give up anyway because didn't they say after the darkest night comes a beautiful morning..?😌

You're right, we all have that period of our lives that looks like things we want are not gravitating towards us
