When you care enough to give people the very best of you and the care little to return the favour. Life as we know it is not fair, characterized by selfish, hypocrites and cruel people. Somehow I have learnt that a life spend making mistakes is better than a life spend doing nothing. I have made so many mistakes in my life that by now you'd think I have life's perfect formula. Being an undergrad living in a community where either people have made it in life or just want to portray that image that they have made it has become the order of the day. Drama queens are now a thing of the past as we have these now so called slay queens. They rule the social media and almost everyone whats to be them, be with them or so help me be acquaint with them. Trying to befriend a slay queen can you live you so broke you will not know what hit you, even with the same budget you used to use before they came along. At first I thought it was the change in this economy of ours that the inflation rate was too high. Then I saw so many people becoming less of who they were then I realized that while I am trying to fight inflation my biggest problem are these slay queens I've decided to associate myself with. From lunches in the fanciest restaurants to vacations in the most exotic but expensive places, somethings a normal person can not afford is what these slay queens consider nothing but a daily routine. And where do they get their finances might I ask? Because for as far as the eye can see not from parents or close relatives and they do not work, hence I wonder. I have never tried to ask but I can already imagine and I have conclusions of my own about everything. Life as we know it is not fair, as I get deeper into understanding it I've come to the realization that they treat me like a servant and because I'm so desperate to fit in when asked to jump I ask how high. I am so fun gone that I'm not sure if I can be redeemed. I have lost my ways of life which were pretty much simple and easy just so I can be recognized. To what end though, when do we say enough is enough, where do I draw the line..? Social media has become a home for them. However, as I dig deeper I find out that the lives they like to portray and thee lives they live in varsity are so different to the lives they live at home. They have become so engulfed by their lives on Instagram such that the life they live at home where their parents drag them to church every Sunday has been a thing of the past. Life as we know it is not fair, it does not give equal opportunities to every one and for one to climb the social ladder a lot of stripping is required. They will strip you off your dignity and to some extent even your morals. Money as they say is the route of all evil but for these slay queens its what give them status and they will do just about anything to acquire it. I have learnt they speak a different language from what the rest of us speak and are often quoted as saying :
Dress Like Olivia
Slay Like Bey
Own Like Opprah
Push Like Hilary
Dedicate Like Sherryl
& Age Like Taraji
But we all know that they might be able to do the first two the rest they can not.
