Can someone please take this responsibility off my shoulders for a while!! It's becoming like a burden, when the thought of it comes, my heart always beats faster and slower making it look like my chest wanna burst open.
There are a lot of responsibilities I wanna get off my shoulders but the question said just one "why one" so I'm gonna stick to that. When I was little I couldn't wait to just grow up already so I could make certain decisions for myself, I wanted to be responsible for my well-being but what I didn't know was the many responsibilities waiting for me.
No wonder a songwriter said "Adulthood is a scam" Now I understand better, it's because of the responsibilities that come with being an adult. Before now things were okay, everywhere was normal but currently, the economy of my nation isn't smiling with anyone, I thought we were friends and a nation's number one priority is its citizens but what is happening now is contrary to that statement.

Recently I was having a conversation with someone, and everything was going smoothly till he said something that strokes me, he said " With the current economic condition of our nation feeding is becoming more expensive every day" I argued with him on this till the conversation ended, I went home and the thought of what he said flashed through my head, then I sat down and began to punch my calculator.
I started with the amount I spend on feeding daily and then multiplied it by the number of days in a month, When I saw the amount I spend on feeding in a month, I was shocked at that moment I began questioning myself, with all these money I'm spending on feeding, the flesh entering my body isn't like the money "what am I missing", omo the flesh should just flood me.
After everything I realized feeding is way expensive compared to the other bills I pay, and the worst part is that I need food to survive. Now here is my answer to the question.

The one responsibility I would like to get off my shoulders is "fending for myself" cause feeding myself isn't easy "Imagine I have a family" I know the responsibility will be reduced because of my husband but then it isn't easy, most times when I go to the local market and see the prices of items skyrocketing I'd stand still and shake my head then if I don't purchase anything and wants to leave, the seller will tell me " madam if you don't buy now the price will increase tomorrow" I'll now ask the person "are you, God?" Why will the price increase? I will now conclude with faith "it will not increase".
Feeding is very expensive, I know the amount I spend fending for myself every day, and I know the amount I spend stocking my fridge with different meals. That is the major responsibility I would love to get off my shoulders " if it is possible".
