BEAUTIFUL FRIDAYS - by Gift Olabode

It is a bright, sunny day at my end. I love Fridays, and today is one of them because… today is Friday! 🤭 I sang happily in the bathroom with my melodious voice (I wish 😆) as I got ready for my day. I mean, this is the last day I’ll be preparing to go out to work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my weekdays because they’re productive and they keep revealing a better part of me. I mean, they keep exposing my superpowers. 😌 But because it’s Friday, I decided to keep my mind jolly and emotion free. Just a light, soft little insight for a soft day. 😉✨ My day was going smoothly, and did I mention I went on a date? 😋😋 Best part of my Fridays. And nope, I ain’t giving you the details. 🙂‍↔️ Happiness was dancing freely in my belly as we talked and laughed until, somewhere in the middle of our melodious conversation, he asked me about my strengths. I really wasn’t planning to have a serious conversation, but I guess we needed to get right to it. So I started talking. “I can make you discover parts of yourself you never knew existed. I can give birth to a side of you that had never lived before. I can open the doors of my mind and let you wander through them, allowing you to taste only the parts of me I choose to reveal. I can quietly rent a room inside your head without asking for permission. You’ll carry pieces of me into your thoughts, your conversations, your perspective… sometimes without even realising it. I can kill the parts of you I hate and water the ones I love.. I can make you look at yourself differently. I can make you see yourself as you truly are — or perhaps, as you were always capable of becoming. And my bleeding? Oh, my bleeding can be horrific. I’ll cut myself and serve my blood on a silver plate.I’ll place the wound on the table, sit quietly before you, and make you look at it. I’ll make you confront it. The ugly.The beautiful.The broken.The breathtaking. I’ll make you sit with every part of it until, somehow, you begin to find beauty in the very things you once wanted to look away from. And then, slowly… you’ll begin drinking.I'm not bluffing, I've done it before. I can sneak good into your mind without you noticing. I can make you carry my words long after I’m gone. I can put my life on the table and make you see the beauty in it. Because you see… the pen is in my hand. I was still talking when I noticed the horror, amusement and complete confusion spreading across his face. I smiled with the utmost satisfaction. 😂 “Relax,” I said. “I’m a writer.” 😭😂 The smile slowly returned to his face…. Anyways, I’m loving my Friday. 🤭❤️ How’s yours going?
