Last Week Of the Year Vibes 💃💃
Here is a conversation between two people, one from the past and another in the present. May Raheemah and December Raheemah are having a discussion in this writer’s subconscious.
May Raheemah: (comes in with a frowning face) Was this our agreement? No, tell me. Was this what we planned?
December Raheemah: Hey, *Mako girigiri bami jare*. I just figured going a different route would be more interesting than our planned style. Don’t you like it?
May Raheemah: (accepts grudgingly) Yeah, this seems like it would be more relatable. But you know, sharing the achievements, losses, bridges crossed, etc would be a better close of the year. Shey, you don’t want to follow the social media trend as usual and share your l’s and w’s?
December Raheemah: You know, we were usually regarded as weird and strange since we didn’t follow most social norms. We are now worse, my dear. So, you using that social media angle wouldn’t even work on me.
May Raheemah: Okay oo, But at least, were we able to meet any of our plans? Did we actually follow through with everything despite the disappointments and failures?
December Raheemah: (stands up and holds May Raheemah): Faaaaam, you should legit not meet either August, September or October. Those months, ehhh. You would want to flog them for how they mishandled things. If you want to know the meaning of dark, just look at them. But woh, that one would be a story for another day. You know na, that I am the usual happy month. Let’s just leave the past where it belongs.
May Raheemah (laughs a little): Okay oo, Joyful *Egbon*. I want to know about some other things. Our relationship with people (family and friends), please tell me you finally made some new friends and you left the house some more.
December Raheemah: 🙄Maybe, we did. Maybe, we didn’t. I think we mostly strengthened the acquaintances we had and made them into friends instead, even unconsciously. We also set up boundaries and stopped caring so much about gestures we received from people we had once been close to or even called friends. We learnt to not be scared of sharing our achievements with people we deemed friends. The major part was realizing that having just 2 or 3 friends that you can fully rely on and who are very supportive, could be a win.
May Raheemah: 😁It’s really great to hear that. I can recall that it was quite hard before to share happy news since there was this notion of coming off as pride or not being warmly received with support. Always wondering why we don’t receive as much as we give out, not knowing it was just mindset.
December Raheemah: Yes o, my sister. Let’s even leave that aside. You know that man we were eyeing by the end of April? You would be glad to hear that he is currently ours.
May Raheemah (shakes butt happily): *Mad oo*. Soooo, we too can get to meet someone that feels like we were created with his stolen ribs.
December Raheemah: 😂Stop with the cheesiness jare. But sha, it feels wonderful to be in this kind of relationship for reals. Let us sha keep the flame burning.
May Raheemah: *Iyenikoko*. But ehn, December Raheemah, you can talk oo. A conversation that I had planned to keep very concise😏😏
December Raheemah : *Mabinu*. There is still more sef, but sha, maybe we should just stop here. I have gisted you enough already.
May Raheemah: Yes ma. *Ebawa ki ile oo.*
December Raheemah: Wait, wait. I have a message for January, in case you have a chance to speak to her. Please tell her to try to maintain the present trend for every aspect of her life. She shouldn’t get overwhelmed and make sure to set a good pace for the other months. You know, our own new year starts on January 26th. The others would be reliant on her, but that shouldn’t make her feel pressured. She should also learn from the past and take viable lessons from it. I believe, in sha’a Allah (SWT), everything would go as planned.
*Mako girigiri bami jare* - Don’t stress me.
*Ebawa ki ile oo* - Extend my greetings to your people.
*Mabinu*- Don’t be angry.
* Iyenikoko* - That is quite important.
*Egbon*- Elder one.
