Lessons Learnt

There are three things bothering me today. One, things are never what they appear to be. Like that couple that appears to be happy together. They seem made for each other. The truth is, although the man is your regular prince charming of the tall, dark and handsome fame, he has a few weird issues about him. For starters, he does not like kids because he does not see any point in bringing another human being into an already overpopulated world to suffer the way he suffered. Then he has no stable job and hopes that by dating a rich lady like you, you might be able to give him some money to buy himself a car. Two, I am always being lied to. Like that man who is always complaining about being lonely and never having any women to sleep with. The truth is, even as he complains about being lonely, he is trying to date an under aged girl probably because he will not have to worry about being in a serious relationship that will lead to marriage. He can always say to the girl, ‘You are too young to marry. I’ll wait for you to finish your studies first. Let’s not have children now. I still need to make money for us.’ Three, when will I ever learn to stop giving out my phone number and email address even if my phone is blocked from receiving any calls apart from those on my accepted list? For the last two weeks I have been receiving phone calls from strange numbers and text messages from one of these numbers. I found out from a friend when he called the number that it was a man who claimed to be my friend. However, he could not spell my name right and would not tell me who he was. When I asked Cruise about it, he saved the number on his phone and assured me that he could find out who the person was. I am yet to ask Cruise if he found out because I do not want to talk to him. I have been ignoring him every time I am called to the office. He tries his best to come and greet me but responding to his greeting is as far as I will let him in. On second thoughts, these three things should not bother me because they have helped me learn a few lessons about life. Next time, I will not be that naive.
