Public embarrassment made me laughing
The time is 11:05pm and am here to tell a funny story about myself
Before yesterday I always thought I had enough energy to do some things as I always do.
In my early 20,s or Late 20,s I challenge anyone that comes around me because I had the needed strength to fight them and I will always win, till date people are scared of me where I grew up, I was always winning medals for coming first in running while in secondary school.
I never knew that I have lost lots of strength especially after childbirth and am in my early 40's so I was thinking am still that same person, but yesterday it became obvious.
Monday got me laughing at myself.
Yesterday afternoon I went to get something for the house, on my way coming back it started drizzling looking like it was going to rain, so everyone were running to get a shield from the rain because it was getting a bit heavy, so deep inside me I thought I can run very fast, I took off and started running, the next thing that happened surprised me, I saw myself on the floor, I literally fell flat on the floor and people came around to help me stand up, everyone was saying sorry sorry, I couldn't figure out what actually happened
I looked around I didn't see any wood or stumbling blocks that caused me to fall, I just started laughing, I managed to get home, I had some brushes on my leg and elbow just because I wanted to run fast and escape the rain.
When I got home I called my mom and related to her what happened, the first thing she said was do you think your still young, very soon you will become a grandmother and you want to run like your still in your 20's I couldn't stop laughing at myself.
Just on my own I recalled some simple things I find so hard to do this days, so I started asking myself so really am getting older and that means I will have some limitations in things I have always been doing in life, I couldn't get sad because many of my age are dead so instead of being sad I just kept laughing and in my head I thought about how to do somethings in a new way to avoid falling down or hurting myself.
Even as am putting down this content am seriously laughing at myself, remembering the way I fail like a bag of garri on the street that day.
But is this really funny 🤣?

STOPOh dear, I'm so sorry you had this experience and sustained some bruises in the middle of it. But I can tell that the realization you had from it was necessary. Sometimes we think we'll be forever young until our age starts telling on us. But you know what? We can be forever young in our hearts and souls, but also acknowledge that our hands and legs will no longer carry us like they used to.
I loved this post, with the exception of comparison for those your age who have died. Cheers.🤗
Yes our flesh can get old but our heart and soul are forever young
