Hello Dearest Community, It's been Raining for days now and also it's been very cold, this kind of weather always makes someone feel lazy, weak and tired, just that we can't change what God has designed, so we just have to endure it, so make sure to stay warm this period.
So you know how they say everyone has that one thing that instantly lifts their mood , no matter how bad the day is going for them, Some people say it’s music, yesss....o I can still relate to this too, some maybe getting a call from someone special, or even just taking a short nap. But for me most importantly, let me not lie o it is food.
Yes o , you can call me a foodie or whatever they call it , Omo, I don’t mind at all, but the truth is, when my tummy is full, my mood just changes for the better, Like everything starts to feel good again.
Okay.... Let me tell you something that happened just recently, so I have been low on cash for a few days now, and I was just managing myself quietly , you know those times where you are doing mental maths on what to eat and how much you can afford? Ehn.. yeah that was me.
So for most of the days, I was just eating rice and beans , Nothing else.,. something with stew,
, not too much extras , and after a while, my body just started shouting “enough o!” see I got so tired of eating the same thing every day, Then, I started feeling somehow like body pains, light feverish feeling, and general weakness.
It wasn’t just sickness from nowhere , I knew deep down it was my body was reacting to the same food routine I had lol, So I started to crave one specific dish (I don’t even want to say the name because I still have not eaten it till now),
but when I calculated what it would cost to prepare that food… omo, I just sighed, there's no Money for that...
Me,I had to push the craving aside and think of something else I could manage that would at least give me small joy , That’s how I was just thinking about what to eat when a friend randomly sent me some money he had promised to send and just like that joy started.
You need to see the way I jumped up instantly, I did not even waste time, My mind immediately said, “Go and buy tea!” And that is just what I did, hot tea with bread felt like a Christmas meal, I just sat there drinking the tea slowly and just enjoying the sweet creamy goodness, like one CEO relaxing after a board meeting, lol.
Yeah ,even though the dish I really wanted was still on my mind,somehow just having something different and something warm in my stomach made me very happy , I smiled for the first time in days, just because of food.
So yes, food does brings me instant joy, not small joy o, I mean complete better joy , you know the kind that just clears your mood and automatically resets your brain, and makes you feel like maybe this life is not so hard after all.
