Person wey I neva meet dey use di tin wey I make. No be favor, no be say I beg am. Dem find am, e do wetin dem need, and na dat be di whole transaction. Sometin wey I build comot go work without me standing near am dey explain wetin e be for. Di only sensible answer na to go make di next one.

Short message dey di screen from person wey I no know. Four line, no big grammar, and e better pass big grammar, because no reason dey for dis world wey go make dem generous about am. I don read am more times pass wetin I go admit. Cursor dey blink inside empty file for down.

For long stretch I dey make tin for hiding and I no dey tell anybody, and I dey call dat one say I get standard. E dey more like say na fine hiding place I just find. As long as nobody see di work, nobody fit judge am, and work wey nobody fit judge no fit improve too, so na di whole upside I dey trade for di comfort of say nobody go ever see me do mistake. From inside e dey feel like humility. From outside e keep everytin small, and na small be di price wey I dey pay without ever seeing di invoice.

To tok am wit mout no be shakara. Na to let di tin exist for somewhere wey no be behind my own eye, where reality fit reach am come correct am. Every work wey I don finish better di moment wey anoda person fit see am, and not even one of dem improve during di months wey I spend dey quietly polish am inside darkness. Feedback no be di fee wey dem dey charge person because e finish sometin. Na di only tin wey dey make di next one better pass dis one.

So today I go tell one person wetin I dey make. Wit mout, wit plain word, no sorry for im front and I no go first make am small so dat nobody go fit accuse me say I take am serious. One person na di requirement. Di number no be di point. To move am from place wey safe well well but useless completely, go place wey human being fit respond to am, na dat be di point.

My own, real, and oda pipo fit reach am. None of dose three need am to first big, and to dey wait for big na exactly how tin dey remain none of dem. Small and real better pass big wey dey only for imagination.
