Gosh!!! I see it now, that last post was highly eeeeeeehh...motional
:& Did I really write that?? I can
be such a drama queen. Seriously, even if it isn’t about fear ...why so much
drama? Mtcheew. And just like that, I’m over FEAR ;) Anyways, talking about
something totally different...Age perception...let me explain, age perception
in the sense of how people tend to assess and address you, based on how old
they think you are. Honestly, I think everyone should play it safe and address people
with common courtesy, but sadly being associated with the Nigerian culture that
demands that you dress the way you want to be addressed and other ‘bad belle’
characters that don’t expect others to be at the level they are; judging with size
or other outward characteristics, you find yourself wondering WTH!!! Personally
I don’t care how old people think I am, that is until my rights are
being infringed on as a result. It’s really annoying when people feel they can
talk to you anyhow they like just because you’re small (compared to them), calm
(compared to them), respectful (compared to them), in contact with your inner
child (compared to them) or just cute :D *running way*. But there is this set
of people who just poor out respect/courtesy, even though they might think
otherwise in their mind... they give it out and you are none the wiser because
they first acknowledged the fact that everyone is a human being. I have so many
of such people as friends though; it’s the ‘queer’ minority that I don’t understand.
And really the tables can turn, in this race called ‘life’ you succeed or fail
based on the relationships that you are able to harness or ...not harness. I
believe that even if it is not in ones nature, a conscious effort should be
made to be nice and approachable.
