A FRIEND INDEED

She worked late one night and asked to sleep over my place, it was abrupt but sure why not, before I knew it this anuty started barging into my space, it pissed me off because I was a very private person and I believed sharing a space should be occasional but this young lady kept on barging in till I started avoiding her or I’d just pretend I wasn’t in the room 😏 (I do that a lot).

Then one day I received a call from work telling me to prepare my room to welcome a roommate, WHAT !. I was pissed, I was upset and I thought is this what I get for being nice 🤣.
I set so many rules so I’d be able to pretend she was not there, but her kindness made it so hard for me to avoid her.

Just for a broader context I have anxiety been around people, my job didn’t make it easier, I always wanted to be in the shadows but unfortunately it wasn’t possible. I am not an introvert neither am I an extrovert , I would say I’m an ambivert. So been with a stranger was a lot to handle.

Over time I came to appreciate this young lady who barge into my life, she has been my confidant, my friend, my gistmate and I love her dearly.
Thank you Esther for being you.
