Nobody dey come today and the day still be yours. That kind sentence fit land for two different way, e depend on wetin you do with the next one hour. Light dey lie for floor for one long shape. The building dey make e small small sound. Na this be the raw material and e no lack anything.

One book wey receipt dey inside as bookmark. Kettle wey dey find e noisy middle. Birds for outside dey busy well well about nothing at all. Chair wey don take your shape sotey years don pass.

You don learn to read empty day as verdict. That kind reading dey cause damage, and e no just dey unkind, e wrong, wey mean say you fit correct am instead of just dey manage am. Solitude and loneliness dey produce the same quiet but dem no mean the same thing, so the feeling go come without label and na you go give am label out of habit. If you dey always give am the harsh label, ordinary free afternoon go start to cost you something wey e never carry from beginning. The hours no be the problem. Na the sentence wey you put on top am be the wahala.

Check am against your own evidence. Some hours wey you don spend alone, you no go fit trade am for anything, waka wey you waka, something wey you make, book wey you read late, and dem carry the same shape with the hours wey pain you. The difference never be the number of people wey dey the room, na whether you choose am. So the solution no be company, na choosing, and choosing dey available right now, e no go cost anybody anything. Afternoon wey you choose na different thing from afternoon wey just happen to you, even though clock no fit tell the difference.

So today, you go take one hour spend am on something wey you for happily do with friend. The good coffee, the long waka, the film wey you dey always plan to watch. Do am well well, as plan, no be as way to fill time until somebody call.

The hour go feel like say na yours, because na so e be. Na the whole trick be that, and e go still dey work even for every empty afternoon wey go come after am.
