Get To Know More...

olawaliumPosted for Everyone to comment on, 2 years ago5 min read

So, here is another break from my regular post to do this challenge. I like doing these kinds of posts once in a while because it's an opportunity for others to get to know the person behind the handle. It's like opening up a part of you for others to see and then relate with you. Thanks a lot to Princessbusayo for helping out with the questions.

Light on or Light off?

Someone once said that it's a tragedy for an adult to be scared of light but it's understandable in the case of children being scared of darkness 🤣🤣😂😂. I don't know where that theory came from but while growing up I've always been a fan of having everywhere light up. Whether there is light or pitch darkness doesn't make a difference because if you live in Nigeria, there is a higher probability that you would have experienced both worlds whether you like it or not. There would be days when you would sleep with light and there would be days you won't...just says also where the generator would be turned off around 12 midnight 😂🤣😂🤣. I still need to know who set that rule for people to always turn off their gen before 12 or by 12 midnight but in my adult life, I've left the generator running overnight too.

I guess what I am saying is, that I've experienced both worlds and to me, I don't have a preference but there is always that joy when you see light all around you... So, I prefer to have the light on...if you see me put it off, I want to force my baby to sleep and once she's asleep, I'm putting it back on.

Light or Heavy sleeper?

I guess this is dependent on how tired I am. Sometimes I can be awake when I hear a little rumbling and oftentimes, the rain would fall heavily and I wouldn't even know it rained until I check outside to see everywhere is wet. But in all honesty, if I am to judge myself on this, I would say I am a little in between...because some days I can be a light sleeper and most of the time too, I can sleep that deep. Before now, I would say I am a deep sleeper but ever since becoming a father, I might be asleep but I would always hear the moment she cries...it nudges me back from the faraway land I might have gone to.

Fan or no Fan?

I would always prefer the fan on. Even when everywhere is cold...I still want the fan on. Even with the Air Conditioning being turned on, I still love it when I feel the fan. I've been used to having the fan blow. I even got two rechargeable standing fans just in case there is no light and I don't feel like putting on the generator...I just love having the fan.

One or Several Pillows?

I prefer having several pillows all around me even though where I am determines if this is possible. If I am not home and all I have access to is just a pillow, then it's fine but there is this joy of having pillows all around me even if all I would use of just one; for my head and then another to just feel around me.

Early in bed or Late sleeper?

Hahahaha I must have been sick if you see me in bed early. I usually have people around me that would tell me to go to bed. I have a friend that would watch my online activities on Twitter and slate me the next day for being up at that time and still being up early. I've tried many times to sleep early and somehow, something would always drag me too late into the night.

I usually have a lot to do at night and I just love writing at that time so that I can be ready for the next day. I like preparing my articles a day before, but not always...depending on the number of things I have to do.

Thin or thick blanket?

I want a thick blanket every time even if the weather isn't favourable for it. There is something about that extra thickness rubbing off on my skin and since I like having the fan on every time anyway, it doesn't matter. A thick blanket, please.

PJ or Comfy Clothes?

I've never been a fan of PJs but I like it when I see them on others. I would go with comfortable clothes and if that involves just my boxer shorts and singlet, then fine. Comfortable, it is.

Drink Milk or Water?

Water...any time and any day. I have nothing against milk and I feel it's nourishing but it has never been my go-to on any given day. I take it...but I prefer water more. I take water a lot and I feel it's better.
