1st June, 2009.
It’s the beginning of a new month. It’s also the dawning of a new me. Don’t understand? Allow me to clarify. See, due to recent events, I’ve been forced to re-evaluate my life and the choices I’ve made and tend to make. Before we get to deep, I bet you’re wondering who I am. Well, I’m a young guy; just your typical average everyday Nigerian young guy who enjoys going to the movies, hanging out with his pals and playing his Nintendo DS. Well not really. See I’m kind of odd to most people probably because I tend to spend so much time in my head. But enough about me. Let’s talk about what brought me to this point. So what’s going on in my life you may wonder? Where to start? Well, I’ve got one best friend who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word priorities; who isn’t comfortable unless he’s committed to about a zillion activities, a second best friend who has the obsessive need to get high whenever he can, a boyfriend (yep, I’m gay) who claims he loves me but yet feels the need to sleep with every Tom, Dick and Harry, a clique who sees me as the backup money bag, a job I don’t actually enjoy and so on and so on. All in all, the typical average life of a 20-something gay man. Life’s pretty eventful. But yet, I’m not happy. What is wrong with me? Why am I not happy? I’ve got a great job, good friends, in a relationship but yet I feel I lack something. What is this special thing that I lack? That’ll make me feel alive again. I’m been forced into this mundane existence where the simple things of life no longer provide me comfort. Well I’m sick of it. There has got to be a change. This marks the dawn of a new day. No longer will I strive to go with the flow. Life’s too short to deal with hassle of peer approval. It’s time for a revolution. Here’s to breaking the flow. It’s all on me. Always has been
For Real,
