Everyday we begin a new journey as human being. We move from one place to the other to achieve many different purposes. On the way to the destination, it's another task on its own. Well unless you're a rich kid who has a chauffeur to drive you to your destination while you relax in the limo.
When i'm on the street walking to school, work, a friend's house, cinema or where ever,.. like i said, it's another mission on its own. I'll list some of them below.
1. Mission to avoid odd looks from strangers
2. Mission to look cool while walking
3. Mission to avoid any criminals
4. Mission to look clean and stay clean till you reach your destination
5. Mission to greet people you know on your way
6. Mission to prevent being knocked down by a vehicle
7. Mission to avoid being late
8. Mission to appear as a nice man or woman to that person of the opposite sex
9. Mission not to fall
10. Mission not to appear like a mad person
There are many missions i could have listed, but ill just leave this at 10 missions.
These 10 missions will get you thinking until you get to your destination. Now here's what pops in my head while i pass through all of this. Here as the 10 or more question is consciously or unconsciously thinking on the way.
1. This person i don't know is staring at me too much. What's wrong? Has he/she seen something? Or did i leave my zip open?
2. First impression always counts. Am i walking cool enough? Maybe my life is a reality show on another planet so maybe i should walk as cool as Vin Diesel. What if a hot girl spots me? That's a big reason i have to nail this walking thingy.
3. It's dark on this lane. Someone could snatch my bag from me. Which road should i take, and which one is the safest. Is somebody following me?
4. I'll be meeting someone really important to me and i cant afford to look dirty. Hope this lady staring at me likes the looks.
5. I want to greet this person but he looks busy. Should i greet him or just pass by. What if i greet him, and he fails to greet me back. I would look stupid.
6. Is it safe for me to cross the road now? Am i too close to the streets?
7. I want to arrive early but dont want to look sweaty. I have to get there early but that means ill have to run or something, which will make me sweat, and now i dont look fresh like i did in the mirror back at home. Should i continue walking faster or just run?
8. Hope i picked the right outfit. What's she thinking when shes staring at me. Does she think i look cool enough? She's too fine to lose you know!
9. It rained today and the ground is quite slippery, so im always checking to see if my trousers have gotten wet. I'm like..is my outfit wet?
10. I love hiphop and as a matter of fact i feel like rapping to the lyrics of this song. However, maybe if i rap out so loud, i would appear as mad to every stranger who sees me saying words when im not even speaking to anyone but myself.
I hope you can relate. Kindly share!
