Na the kain company you dey keep, e go turn you become am

Na person dey wey anytime you near am, you dey feel sharp well well, but you never see am for plenty months now. That name enter your mind before you even finish read this sentence. The morning dey clear, nothing dey rush. Phone dey for table and the whole day still dey wait for you to send one message.

Cup dey with smoke wey dey turn sideways for light. Somebody car door bang for street, then engine start, then quiet come back. The building dey make the small small noise wey e dey make early morning. Jacket dey hang for door, e never comot for many days now.

You don dey treat the people wey surround you like just background, no be something wey dey affect you. But na there the cost dey hide: your standard, your way of talk, and wetin you dey call normal, na the room wey you dey spend most time inside dey set all of dem, quietly, without anybody decide anything. So if you spend one year among people wey don stop to try, your level go drop small small, and you no fit even point the exact place e happen, because e happen through absorption, no be through argument. Nobody go convince you make you agree. You just go adjust yourself small small until e become normal.

Now check the direction wetin dey run. If nearness fit reduce standard without you permit am, then e fit raise am the same way too, and this no be just hopeful talk, na the same mechanism, just dey face the other side. The people wey dey make you feel like you fit do more, dem no dey just flatter you; dem dey show you one normal wey you don drift comot from. Na why one hour with the right person fit reset whole month, and na why make you allow those hours pass, e go cost you more pass wetin e feel like for that moment.

So today, send one message. To the person wey dey make you want become better, put real date inside, no be just vague soon. One line dey enough. The date na the main thing, because plan na the only version of this wey fit survive one busy two weeks.

You don dey drift go wherever room you dey. So choose the room. Na the change wey no need plenty effort, and e go work whether you believe am or not.
