Wednesday the 9th of August, 2017.

Dear diary, last week was very intense and nerve-racking for me. It was the final week of my "Confirmation". We were made to attend a retreat, go for confession, etc. The retreat was very boring (and unnecessary, IMO). I had to sit there and watch a couple of annoying catechists talk and show themselves. I literally had to tell myself to relax and shut them all out. It was the final week, I was almost there. See, I have no problem with the elderly catechist, just the cockroaches who think the are catechists, okay to be fair, I like(d) two of them, the rest could crash and burn for all I care. With all this confirmation drama, I got worked up. It was evident. Stress reflects on my face.

What is this bloody "confirmation" this girl keeps talking about? Confirmation is a sacrament of the Catholic/Anglican church. Let me give you the church's definition. "Confirmation is a sacrament through which we receive the holy spirit, in order to make us strong perfect Christians and soldiers of the church". It's kinda a MUST DO. After Baptism, you move on the "Holy Eucharist" then "Confirmation" comes. The Bishop himself is the minister of this event. Confirmation. It's a big deal like that. Now tell me how I wouldn't have been tense? Tell me how I could have relaxed. Just tell me. I literally couldn't wait for it all to be over, and boy am I glad it is!!

I planned fun and unwinding with Aanuoluwapo my friend. The opportunity came, I grabbed it like my life depended on it. My life sorta did depend on it, you have no clue. So here I am, relaxing, at peace, at ease, no cares in this world.... Okay, maybe one care.... Totally one care. Money. That's the only care I have, other than that, fun, fun, fun, fun!! I arrived here yesterday, after packing like I was going away for like two weeks. Hahahaha, you should have seen me pack. I only forgot two things; my cleanser (for the life of me, I dunno how I forgot this! I mean I saw it, brought it outout.... It beats me) and my beauty blender sponge. But it's okay, I thankfully brought my Glycerin and Rose water solution, that'll do. And for the blender,, well, I'll make do somehow. Nothing can ruin this for me, nothing.

I already made friends, asin that same yesterday I arrived o. Females, lovely females, and some males (they knocked on our room door and we let them in, two guys like that.) Even tho they were strangers, I didn't feel the need to "cover up". I was wearing a pant and top when they came, I still didn't change. One of them crawled into bed with us. The other sat at the edge. Aanu had met them once or twice before, I was just meeting them. Aanu said they had never come to the room prior to yesterday. Aanu had been there two days before I could make it down. I even had to bathe in the room of one of them, the one who sat at the edge of our bed. Reason, our hot water wasn't running and I couldn't bother calling, it was late... Scratch that, I prolly just wanted to retaliate somehow, maybe?

                              
Before the whole "guys in our space" thingie, the owner of this establishment saw my friend and I taking a tour of the place and he introduced himself to us. Nice man, I like him already. Within the first five minutes, I found out his age, 51. A bit about his family, his state and a few things like that. Aanu says he likes me and is hitting on me, I don't quite see it, I choose to be blind (I told her this). The girls and I went to karaoke, the man (I just mentioned) came personally to set it up for us, he also gave us drinks on the house. See why I like him??? It was soo fun! Lots of jumping up and down as we sang, lots of laughter, the playfulness, all of it. And to think we all met here, save for Aanu and I.

Today was sooo nerve relaxing for me. I was alone for the most part of the day. Later at noon, I asked a friend to come see me. He'd been my friend since like December but we hadn't met, today was perfect. Hey you, it was nice seeing you, thank you for coming and teasing me about my height. Lol. Oh and, after you left, I went to sit with the man, you know, the owner of this place, the one you saw me standing with when you came into the building, the one you said looks like he likes me (agreeing with my friend), yeah, him. I sat with him and he asked me to order anything I wanted. Is he cool or is he cool! Lol. We sat for about 3hours, just talking about random things. You could say we're now friends, I mean we exchanged numbers so yeah, we're friends! Gotta run now, I'm going to the gym baybay! I need aggression.

Dear Diary, Ugh! As cheesy as I'm about to sound, I'm gonna go ahead and say; HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR TO YOU!!! Hey, I added something new, I said "fucking". That's a change. 😁 I feel so disconnected from you, my precious book of not so secret secrets. Something got me interested in sharing today's 'experience' with you. Here's what happened. My breasts have gotten bigger. As in extra large. As in gigantic. Everyone is excited but me. Ugh! All my old bras no longer fit, still I have been holding on to them, wearing them even though they longer fit. Look, don't blame me, if you saw how alarmed I was last year when I discovered my breasts could fit a really large bra! Imagine how I feel now!! Its a lot for me to handle! Okay, I recently learned how to do breast cup measurement. (I'll post the chart for you to see), I all but fainted seeing my cup size. I am now a G cup! A FUCKING G CUP!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! I don't have any children, ...

Dear diary, yesterday was my country's independence day anniversary, I suppose it's safe to assume you are Nigerian as well, you know, seeing as you're MY diary. Right?? Anyways, I had made plans with two of my best friends, Gabby and Trina, to go see a movie. I'd seen the trailer sometime last month and I was like, 'I MUST see this with my gurls!!' The movie is titled "The Women".  Do you remember that one time I was dying to see the film "Wedding Party" and i missed it? I couldn't let that happen again! Asin I COULDNT!!! TRINA.... Let me tell you something about Trina. That girl has serious issues with time. Trina is NEVER on time. If you like, tell her an event is by 9pm, she'd still not have gotten ready by then, there'll be one excuse or the other, you can count on Trina for excuses. Knowing her, I told them to get ready by 5pm. I had another best friend (Blessing) call Trina to inform her that I had a flat battery and i ...

Dear Diary, wassup wassssuuuuupp!!! (I'm not asking, I'm telling you). So the past few weeks have been packed with various challenges, and with these challenges came different kinds of emotion. I went from hyper, to meh, to omg, to angry, to help me! Etc I don't feel ready to disclose the basic reasons why I've felt this way. Hopefully I'll find the....courage? (Is this the word I'm looking for? I'm not sure but I'll settle for this) So, the "courage" to tell you. One thing I can say for sure tho, it wasn't easy, but there are people in my life who make it better for me, these people won't leave me (it seems). They have made it their job to "check on Amy, make sure she isn't drowning". I'm not mocking, I'm legit appreciative. These people aren't even my "family" (you get me?) But I consider them family, I don't care what social studies told me. I was supposed to be in my state by now, technicall...
