Chapter 7 - 7 Chapter 7: Living with my roommates

I became cool with all of them though it was very hard at first. We started out well, i was much closer with only four of them: Tolu, Tochi, Temilade And Fisayo. I saw fisayo like a mother figure, she was older than all of us in the room and she was the best with all those meals she prepared(y'all remember that I'm a foodie 😅). From her, I learnt how to prepare a very wonderful egusi soup and a fantastic stew. Tochi cooks for me and Temilade, anytime we were lazy to cook and they are always awesome. All of them were very good and it was a pity that we had only a year to spend together.

Living with them was great(I know that) but at the same time, I lost my confidence. I hate losing my friends (not as in death) but getting to the point that we no longer relate well with each other. I always wanted to please them even at my own discomfort and this really affected me. I should have known that in this life, not everyone is here to stay as your friend till eternity. While some people leave your life, some other people will fill up that space. I became obsessed with them, not wanting to do anything that would make them angry. All in all, I became a puppet and I couldn't do anything without them.

At that point, my relationship suffered from it but I was not to be blamed because it wasn't meant to be from the start. Most times, I don't have things to say to him and I found our conversation really boring but I don't want "us" to end. I wanted to keep my promise to the end and it later became a problem for me.

When I look back at those days, I can't help but to think that, it shaped me to what I am today. Life can be unfair at times but we just have to forge ahead and face it head-on. At times, I also think that life is interesting in its own way.
