LIFE CAM: 2go almost ruined my life.

See this picture? that's a bad state. Very bad state. Be careful not to find yourself in this ever. Its just a 40% chance of you getting out.
If you think I'm talking about being drowned in water, please think deeper. Lol.
A lot of things drown people in life. wheewsh!
Let me give you an example: That ocean in the picture represents 2go. (A chatting application that was quite popular about  6-7years ago.)  And those hands? Those are of course my hands.
2go wasted 3years of my life. I mean wasted, drowned. pause, you know how fresh palm kernel is being processed until the oil is produced,? Exactly! that was how this application processed me.

What brought about this post?
Yesterday I was discussing with a friend of mine and somehow I mentioned that I spent3 years looking for admission. and then he asked; ''so what did you do with those 3years? I looked him straight in the eye balls, I made sure I caught them, and then I answered: ''2go''.
He looked confused, I saw that he looked confused because I could see a mixture of amused and shocked. LOL.

So back to my post. 2go dealt with me o. I lost my sense of being, sense of respon
sibility, sense of respect, it was crazy!

Morning, Afternoon and night, I was on my phone, I slept and woke up with 2go on my mind.
My mum got tired because I dodged chores and got  very bitter when she sends me on errands.
She complained to my aunties and uncles "all over the world" and they would call me on phone to scold me. I cared less. I was happily stubborn.

Let me blow your mind- One day, armed robbers came to our house and guess what gave me away? the 2go backlight. Normally when the app is active, your screen remains active, your backlight never dims out, so apparently I was 2go'ing outside my house, and I slept off...
 I forgot to go back inside and lock the doors, and when the armed robbers came into our compound, they saw the light from my phone telling them ''this way gentlemen'' and then they came to me and slapped me up! I was their tour guide for that night. I took them round the house and after their robbery, they grabbed me again and I showed them to the gate and they bade me good bye. sigh 
That would be the smoothest robbery in history.
It was that bad.
And I didn't realise what I was doing to myself. I didn't learn a skill, didn't bond with my parents considering that attended a boarding school and didn't get ample time to do that, didn't start blogging with all that Data! that one is most painful.

Imagine if I had started blogging with that time, or learnt a skill, or done something solid.
I didn't have motivation, nothing challenged me, nothing moved me, my only thought was to enter university and get to the highest star (rating) in 2go.
Looking back now, I wish I knew better.

If I could go back to those years, I would first; give myself a heavy knock on the head, learn a skill, start my blog, and delete 2go app from my phone. nonsense and ingredients!!

But there is a thin line between ''regretting'' and ''learning from your mistakes''. And I thank God for that option of ''Learning from your mistakes''.
I don't regret those years, something good came out of it after all, I discovered my hidden talent in one of the 2go rooms and made the most use of it. I'm very sure you are guessing what that talent is. hehehehe. but... lets leave that one first.

So back to the picture; 2go almost ruined my life, but thank God I survived it. I made it out alive. lol. And because of that, I have excellent appreciation for Hard work, Wisdom, inspiration, and any other thing in that family tree.
I want my existence to send out these signals especially to young girls.
Hence Ije.

Shalom!
