Cece's Safe Space

There’s a woman who sells food close to my store, and watching her daily routine sometimes gets me angry.

Every morning, her son goes from shop to shop taking people’s orders. He then comes back, takes their food to them, and later returns to collect the plates and money.

But some people won’t pay.

Some will tell him to come back later.
Some will say they haven’t sold anything since morning.
Some will even shout at him.

This boy can go back to a particular person two or three times and still return without the money. Sometimes, it will take his mother coming herself to ask for payment, and even then, some still won’t pay.

And this really breaks my heart

This woman wakes up early to cook. She gets to her stand very early, sells her food, and after doing all that, she still has to chase people for money for food they have already eaten.

Please, if you buy from someone who is running a small business, pay them when you’re supposed to. You may not realise how much extra stress you’re putting on someone who is already working so hard.

At this point, I think Facebuk is trying to make my life easier.

Imagine spending hours recording, editing, adding voiceover and doing everything thing to achieve a clean video only to end up with less than 1k views.

Then I take one picture, write something then post it and boom 💥 700K views and over 300 new f0ll0wers.

At this point, I’m not fighting it, in-fact I love it.

For now I’m sticking to the picture side.
The winning team has already chosen me.

Which team are you on
Pictures or videos?

My daughter’s school wears m***i on Fridays.

The school management recently posted that some parents have been complaining that bringing out clothes for their children every Friday is stressful, and they would prefer a Friday uniform.

So the school asked every parent to cast their vote.

To my greatest surprise, a lot of parents voted for a new uniform. The thing shock me🤣🤣.

And I’m here wondering, Is it only me this economy is affecting? Or there’s a new update on how people are making money that I haven’t received?

If you were in the WhatsApp group, which one would you vote for?

M***i every Friday or Friday uniform?

There are talents and strengths you have that you don’t even know you possess.

Sometimes, you won’t discover them by sitting around wondering what you’re capable of. Life will put you in a situation that demands a side of you you’ve never had to use before.

And when that moment comes, you may just surprise yourself.

There’s a side of you you never knew existed.

I used to see people getting trolled online and wonder how they took all of that without it getting to them. I also see their savage replies and wonder, “How did these people even think of such replies?”

Two days ago, I made a simple post about my cleaning habits, explaining that it was something I knew was wrong with me and that I’m glad I’m now allowing people to help me.

Somehow, a lot of people interpreted it in ways I never expected, some said I was just showing strength, others said I wanted to impress, while some said I deserved the “best wife” award, and other things I totally couldn’t relate to.

The post went viral, some of the comments were cruel and mean.

But surprisingly, I didn’t feel hurt. I actually had fun reading and responding to some of them. The savage replies I gave were simply energy for energy. Some backed down, some didn’t.

But this experience taught me something:

I definitely surprised myself.

You will never see me in anybody’s comment section behaving b@dly or bantering words with people.

I don’t go looking for trouble, and I genuinely have no interest in fighting strangers on the internet.

But if you come into my own comment section and decide that it is the perfect place to display yourself, just know that I will meet you there.

I can be very civil, very respectful and very composed, but please don’t mistake that for me being a pushover.

I’m actually laughing 🤣 😂so hard in the comment section.

I posted a picture yesterday and it went viral.

At this point, it’s aura for aura. If you give me energy, I’ll return it with interest.
