Summary of my week: Silent Breakdowns, Office Gist & A Stranger I Can’t Forget

 If I had to describe this past week in one word? Unexpected. It didn't come with big drama or any life altering moment but somehow it managed to shake me a little. It was one of those weeks where nothing really happened, but everything still felt like something. Between unexpected glances from a stranger, random questions from a colleague, and a silent emotional crash no one noticed… I was moving through it all on autopilot

So, here’s how my week really went, brace up

Let’s start from the top:

Work was regular, the usual stress, but nothing I couldn’t handle. One of those “abeg, I can’t kill myself” kind of weeks. I kept my head down, handled what I could, and left the rest to vibes.

But somewhere between my routines and pretending to be productive, three interesting things happened, random and unexpected: 

1. The Stranger I Didn’t Speak To… Three Times

So there’s this lady. I’ve seen her three different times within a week, same bus stop, around the same time and each time we meet we lock eyes, for that split second it feels like something could start...but guess what I did the three times? Nothing. I didn't say a word.

I looked. She looked. We both kept it moving like nothing happened. Now I’m here wondering if life is playing with me. Like, why keep bringing her around if neither of us will say anything? At this point, I’m convinced either she’s shy too… or God is trying to test if I still got it😅

But one thing’s for sure if I see her the fourth time, omo, I’m not missing that opportunity again. I’ll update you guys.

2. The Colleague That's Oddly Curious About My Romantic Life

There’s this female colleague who has made it her personal mission to ask about my love life. Randomly dropping questions like:

“So… you sef get babe?”

“why doesn't she call to check up on you at work?”

“Sometimes, you act like you're single. Hmmm......are you?”

And I just laugh, cause what do you even say to questions like that?

It’s funny… but part of me is starting to wonder if she’s just curious, or if there’s more behind those questions. No moves made yet but trust me, I’m clocking the energy.

3. That Midweek Emotional Crash Nobody Saw

Somewhere between all this soft drama, something else happened, quietly.

I broke down this week. Not in front of anyone. Not with tears or anything loud. It was internal, a kind of emotional exhaustion I couldn’t fully explain. Everything just felt… heavy. I was tired mentally, emotionally, mostly worried about figuring my life out.

I showed up. Did what I had to do. Smiled where I was supposed to. But inside, I was running on fumes. No one noticed, and I didn’t expect them to. Some breakdowns come dressed like regular days but, I made it through. And that counts.

The Rest of the Week?

Pretty chilled.

I got some writing done, caught up on rest, and reflected a lot. Still learning to slow down without guilt. Still figuring life out day by day.

What I’m Taking With Me:

* Maybe some things are meant to find you more than once.

* Your next love story might  just be waiting on you to say “hi.”

* Minding your business is the real peace.

* But also… maybe I need to stop minding my business just a little less next time I see her. 

* And even when I’m not okay, showing up still matters.

Final Words:

If your week was a bit chaotic, weirdly peaceful, or full of almost moments like mine  just know, you’re not alone. Life doesn’t always give us answers, but it gives us enough stories to laugh about. And that’s something.
