Adulthood is hard. The bills keep getting higher and higher, and the responsibilities keep getting more and more. I find myself looking for where to return this Adulthood that they sold to me because I don’t want to do again. There is impossible pressure from everywhere and everyone, at work, at home, from your friends, it seems like everyone is out to get me!
Then there is now he impossible pressure to get your significant other some extravagant gifts, like a G-wagon for ‘just because’ (hey! It’s like this adulthood is not getting to all of us).
Sometimes I find myself secretly wishing I had a significant other that would surprise me with these presents, but I am as single as they come and as happy as I can be.
I always feel betrayed when I see a debit alert. Like, can’t the money in my account not reduce? Can’t we move from glory to glory?
NOTICE: THESE ARE JUST BANTS.
What says “I Love You” more than giving someone the chance to feel the absence of some responsibilities adulthood has given them? Thanks, mom and dad.
With the help of some awesome friends, I was able to come up with some wonderful gifts that your significant other might enjoy.
1. New tyres. GUYS! One tyre is 30k. T H I R T Y thousand NAIRA. And if you’re like me, you buy them in sets of two, then three. That’s 60k, then 90k, for all four and then the spare. That’s 120k on top of the rubber.
2. New Rims. Gotta look sharp when you roll out. Sharp and shiny.
3. Gift card to service your car.
4. Rent. House is now cost o. Some times I hear rent prices and I cry. What’s the point of buying all the shoes and bags if I don’t have a place to keep them?
5. Resprayhis/her car. That quality oven baked one. Maybe in a new colour sef. The colour that your significant other has been eyeing. Just “borrow” the car for a week and return it with a fresh paint job.
6. Buy a bag of rice. Indian rice is so delicious. You could totally do more than one sha.
7. Data. We thank God for NTEL unlimited data that’s 12,500. At least we don’t have to pay for data with blood and tears. And we can Facetime, and WhatsApp you without crying.
I don’t know what else to add to the list. What do you think? Let me know in the comment section.
Do have a lovely week, and remember that Christmas is almost here.
