Treasure in the sky.

With my head up, I had the most crazy thoughts, and before I could even think about it, it was gone in a flash like thunder. And then came an ache. Yeah, I woke up this morning super tired and restless. I can't really say nor pinpoint what caused this and still haven't figured it out. Well, sad it was at the beginning, but I learned to just not stress myself over it.

Online work became super tiring. I have not been active today, and it was getting me frustrated because I knew I had planned on a post to publish, but for an unknown reason, I didn't have the strength to even write. My body, mind, and soul are all together in this, screaming a big no! to me, so when I got to my tailor's shop, I told her I needed a movie before anything, lol. She did me well by giving me her phone, and then I was able to send 3 movies, and unknowingly, a Nigerian movie was among them.

"Shit! Oh, no! My day just got worse." I wanted to scream this out because that is exactly what the sane me would say, but I didn't even say anything, which was strange. I guess I was too tired to even lay a complaint to the magistrate (me) about how I was feeling, so I sucked it up and went for the movie. I know you'd be like, "What's wrong with Nollywood movies?" yeah, I get it. You might find them interesting, but I do not because I wasn't even a big fan of them while growing up. Dad was into American movies, which became my thing.

So, now seeing a Nollywood movie isn't really on my list, but I went for this anyways and it was a three hours plus movie. When I clicked the play button, I got to see it was a high school setting, so I decided to dive in. Hehe. And I loved it. Oh, please, this isn't the real me talking because I can't believe I am saying this. Hehe.

Watching the movie, I learned so much. The need to be happy at all times and never to let hate reside in your heart because we all know life is too short. Also, the movie spoke on the need to be appreciative of the people around us because we don't know if that's the last time we'd see each other.

The protagonist in the play was a guy named Jidenna, and he is a very interesting guy who made us understand the need to never take any moment for granted. Despite the fact that he had stage 4 level leukemia and was bound to die, he still treated people well. Some snubbed him, and others accepted him. In the end, those who snubbed him felt super sad because they knew deeply that he is a good person and that the last memory of them together wasn't a good one despite his selflessness.

After watching the movie, I settled down and re-educate myself about life. Sometimes, we chase people off because we believe no one can understand us or we are just too broken to care. But the truth is, that person that's right in your face who is trying to make you smile might be going through a million times what life you are currently facing, so don't hurt people with your words or actions especially people who took out of their time to check up on you or make you smile.

This is why, despite all the restlessness that took over me today, I never used that as an opportunity to hurt others because my mood isn't settled. I smiled so much... I listened to someone talk, gave out money to someone who took out of their time to help me with something, bought things that I shared with others, and never pushed anyone out of my space.

The movie, Treasure In The Sky prompted me to write even when I wasn't sure of what to write. It created a thought in my mind and not just any sort of thought but a thoughtful one.
