Fall, Bounce And Learn >> Hive-Reachout weekly prompt 56.

Am a lover of music but am very much picky on what I listen to because they I am aware that what one listen to edify or destroy the soul, I was not in school when this thing happened I was presently at home so on that fateful day I was out for my daily movement which if I can recall I was out to deliver a message to some one, I was on my way when I met a friend of mine vibing to a music on his phone and as well discussing with a friend, on getting close to them I kind of liked the music he was playing so I asked if I can collect the music from his phone and he opted in.

He gave me his phone and was focusing on his friend because it seems that what they were talking about was really interesting so when he gave me the phone I was selecting music from the phone when the phone vibrated and I was in a hurry to hand it over to the owner when it slipped and fell from my hand. At that point I freezed for a bit before regaining consciousness and then bent to pick the phone while my chest was beating so far that any one near me at that moment could hear the beating, while picking the phone the screen was facing the floor while the back was up so I turned it over and saw that the screen cracked but at that moment could not tell if it was the screen guard or the calibrator or the main screen that was affected at the cause of the fall.

The next thing was to on the screen to detect where and where was damaged, it was at that point I discovered that the owner of the phone and the person standing next to him had already turned and was watching me like a movie with no word coming out of their mouths, I eventually turned on the phone and it was blank but at a moment it would blink with different colours that would enable you see the wall picture of the phone, it was at that moment I knew I was at the wrong place at the wrong time and that I was in for the worst, if it was my phone I would have still be shaky but not to that level plus the phone I was holding looks quiet expensive more than what I was using.

After the whole back and forth at that moment the owner told me to go that if he found out how much the screen would cost he would let me know so I left that place but not with the normal me, I was disturbed for the rest of the day because to me this was some thing that has never happened to me so where would I start from, it was at that moment I wished I had pass them and not stopped just maybe this would not have happened to me and I would not have been in that predicament, days later he got back to me and told me that the screen cost about #50 to #60 thousand naira and that I should contribute what ever I have, after almost two months went by that I was able to gather something reasonable because I would not want to contribute less since I was responsible for the act.

I have actually been facing lots more problems than that but I just pictured out this incident inorder to explain something, trails would surely come temptation would never seize but then what do we do to overcome such, and to be honest with you all I would say there's not just one formula to operating that's why even mathematics deals with different formulas for different problems to get different solutions, so I would say same applies to me that when I face life's trail I employ different skills in responding to them, something I tend to solve the equation which is the problem that is already figured out, I might tell someone above me inorder to get advice or even support to be guided on what to do or what not to do, and mostly attending to such situations calmly is the best strategy because it give room for one to know what and how to go through, and after one has consulted other people to get their own opinions such person can now attempt solving the puzzle or problem and afterwards pick one or two from such situations that would help tomorrow.

These and many more are the lessons I have learnt that has reshaped me and I now use as my strategy of bouncing back. Thank you for reading through with me please do well to leave a comment about any input you would like to inorder which would help me further. I still remain your favorite girl @graceze enjoy the rest of your day 🥰.
