Na something you no fit tell your friend

You do one mistake and since then you dey talk to yourself with voice wey you no fit ever use for outside. E start before you even wake well well. The room dey quiet, dey make sense, but that voice no dey quiet or make sense at all. Whole day dey wait for you, and the first decision for the day na which voice go dey talk for your head.

Cold water dey run until e cold well well. One crack for tile wey you don look tire, no be today you first see am. Fridge dey start, dey stop. Your own hand, dey do the normal normal thing, while the voice for your head no dey rest.

If na your friend do this same mistake, you go sabi wetin to tell am sharp sharp. You go dey warm, you go dey helpful, you go still talk true say part of the wahala na their own doing. But you no dey give yourself that same chance, and no be because your standard high pass. Na because that harsh talk dey feel like you dey serious, like you dey take responsibility. But e no work like that. If person dey brace up against their own voice, all the energy go go for that bracing, so the harshness go chop the very thing wey e suppose give you.

Check wetin that hard mind dey protect. If na you go there first with the strongest word, nobody fit use am hurt you again after. Na real strategy sha, but e cost too much. E no be sharpness or discipline, na fear say person go talk am against you. Meanwhile, the people wey dey improve sharp sharp no be the ones wey dey talk to themselves like that; na the ones wey fit look their mistake face to face without shaking, and that one dey easy well well when looking no come with punishment.

So today, talk am back with the other voice. Same facts, no soft am, no excuse am, but with the kind words wey you go use for person wey you like. Talk am out loud if you fit, just once. E go feel like e no correct, e go feel small foolish, but na neither of that.

You fit dey your own side while you still dey tell yourself the truth. Those two no be enemy at all. Na only from inside that other voice dem take look like enemy.
