Hello Everyone in this Amazing community
I hope this post met you all well
Today's prompt topic, is one of the most relatable prompt I ever wrote or deliberated about.
We Humans are very dynamic beings, we can easily find our ways through navigating things we come across with, both physically, tangibly and Audibly.
Usually we can remember things but there are many possibilities of forgetting things too.
It doesn't matter your age, sex or location, you can't escape it.
I have always been messed up, many times because of forgetting.
Here is one of the most tragic thing that happened to me because I forgot.
So this happened to me in the Year 2021, December 13,My House Got burnt on due to forgetfulness.
I never really thought my lack of remembering things will drag me to one of the biggest loss caused by me, I ever had or experienced since the time I started my business.
That fateful day, I can remember vividly that I wanted to cook beans (poridge bean), so I picked the beans, hoping to per boil the beans first, I took that old boiling ring, put it in a big Mug, and pour the beans hoping to get the beans per boiled before I transfer it to the main pot for deep cooking, just right after I poured the beans to the mug the power holding company took off the light and instead of just switching off the boiling ring from the socket, I left it there hoping Probably they will still bring back the Light since I was at home, I will just unplug whenever the bean got per boiled,to my misfortune a customer called me in shop requesting that my services was need, without thinking twice, I left the bean and the boiling ring which was plugged down and rushed to shop,
I was in shop for more than 6 hours, in shop there we are being supplied electricity through the same power transformer, but there was still no light over there In the shop as of that time, so with the confidence that we got no electricity supply I felt relaxed and I forgot that I plugged down the boiling ring at home, just after some series of missed calls on my phone from one of my Neighbor at home, It finally dawned on me that there is a big problem at home, I carried my bike rushed down home, but before reaching home, I saw some thick some coming from distance that was when I knew ,I was in a very big mess, to the biggest scare even on reaching home I noticed there are several people inside my home trying to put out fire,
All My essential gadgets; My Laptop , My Tablet, my other small phone, the company's properties with me consisting of point of sales machine (p.o.s), My clothes, my shoes, everything valuable had burnt to ashes.
That Day which was December 13, 2021 was a very unfortunate and unforgettable time of my life, the aftermath of that day made me put into measures of Getting hold of myself especially on the aspects of remembrance and forgetting things or events.
What are those measures I put in place now?
Ever since the tragic event, I bought a Jotter and a Memo book, all I do is to write down all the necessary things that I might actually forget.
I created a kind of routine, all planned out to keep me in sync with my everyday activities and work.
My phone has also been a big help, reminders, alarms, Todo apps, have all been very handy in helping me get hold of my self.
