A GIRL AMONGST BOYS

Growing up in the midst of boys was not really easy as I grew up to have this authoritative attitude and as the society sees it, it is not good for a lady to be too authoritative in fact there is no need for that trait in a lady. So growing up, I had boys (my brothers) bossing me around it was either you do what they want or nothing. I have five siblings, six children all together, two elder sisters, two elder brothers and a younger brother, in this case I was receiving orders from both my elder and younger brothers.

I did not really know my elder sisters the way I knew my brothers because they were literally in the higher institution as I was growing up and I saw them once in a while but I was always with my brothers, always their goalkeeper when playing football and sustains lots of injuries, when it comes to movies i prefer war, crime scenes because i grew up in the midst of my brothers although it was fun while growing up.

Until one day my mum called me and asked if I preferred the boys life to a girl's life? I was confused and asked her why, she replied saying I am too authoritative and that attitude is majorly for boys and she went on and on… it was so bad that I literally only had boys as people who I could call my real friends. It is said that girls are meant to be calm and collected while the boys can do whatever they want, in my case the reverse was the case, I was literally behaving like a boy the only thing differentiating me from the.boys is my dressing.

People then started calling stubborn and a bad influence, when I say people I mean my family members and neighbors cause I was always doing strong things, things that girls of my age can not do I will do those things with ease without flinching😁. Then my mouth was my weapon, my confidence and my steeze was 💯 because I know I have men that could fight for me when I run to them,my brothers will be so ready to challenge anyone that comes close to me looking for my trouble, whereas my strength level was 0.00% sometimes my mates who are girls will say I play too much and they always strong plays, they can't measured up to my energy and I sometimes become lonely. Hmm, such is life.
As for getting rid of my authoritative attitude or should I say work on myself, I'm still a work in progress with the help of people around me, books and other things, it is not an easy journey as there is a joy that comes with being authoritative but also you can be seen as a bad person.
