Today dey fine well well, but you dey live inside one worse day wey never even happen. E still early. Light just dey climb small small and nothing no dey wrong for this room. Somewhere for front, one day dey wait, and you don already dey pay for am, but e fit be say di day no go even send bill at all.

Di cool side for pillow, wey you don leave since one hour ago. Tap wey dey run until water begin cold well well. Person car door, e bang twice, then engine start, then quiet come back. Na just normal sound of morning wey no dey ask you for anything at all, for now.

You don dey rehearse future wey never come, just so you go ready for am, and na di rehearsal self dey drain you. Make I explain how e dey work, e no mean say something wrong with your character: body no fit sabi difference between danger wey you imagine and di one wey dey happen now, so every time wey you rehearse, na real stress you dey spend on something wey never even happen, full price, and e go happen as many times as you run di tori for your mind. Most of wetin you dey rehearse no go ever happen. Di small wey happen go meet person wey don already tire from di rehearsal, and na di opposite of ready be dat.

Ask yourself wetin real preparation dey look like. Na plan, wey you go write once, for di thing wey you fit name. Dat one get end, and e no go pass ten minutes. Wetin you dey do instead no be preparation, na simulation, and simulation no get stop button, na why e fit chop your whole week finish comot without leave anything behind. If real step dey, do am finish. If e no dey, den di worry no be readiness, na just tax wey you dey pay for one Tuesday wey you suppose don enjoy.

So today, write one line about wetin dey true right now. No be forecast, no be di side wey tins fit turn bad. Just today, as e be. Then let tomorrow go back to tomorrow, where e belong, make person wey don sleep well handle am, because dat person go sabi pass you wey dey now.

Di day wey dey front of you dey fine, no lie. You get right to enjoy am. Dat one no be say you just dey hope for better, na correct correct reading of Friday morning.
