This is a throw back story about the time I got curved, circa October 2017 B. B(before bae). 😂😂 Have you ever been curved? I know the men will find this more relateable than the women because we usually hand out the curveballs out here in these streets. Well basically a curve is a reject. A rejection slip. Like, you shoot your shot and it completely ricochets on you, hitting you straight in the heart. That's a curve. Now as a female, I have been curving these negroe males all my life. I could even write a book titled THE SUBTLE ART OF THE CURVE because I have all the knowledge of giving dudes the curveball nice and easy without creating hatred and hostility😁 Most women have it engrained in their DNA. But karma never forgets, nor does the universe. With all the curves I'd been giving dudes, I never once imagined that I, Selina Shiraku Teyie, would ever be curved😂 Okay, I'm not saying that I'm a big deal or anything but, I do consider myself to be somewhere on the list of people who are considered to be "a catch". The thing about being curved is that:

1.You never see it coming because you are being lead on really well. 2.You never see it coming because of your hubris aka overconfidence syndrome. 3.You never see it coming because you are crushing too hard and you've basically become an idiot. For me, it was hubris. I got too cocky, I never thought I would ever get curved by anyone. I was handed the classic curve, "I just want us to be friends." The notorious friendzone. Like I don't have plenty already🙄😂😂😂 Plus he had led me on, with all his mixed signals and I guess I was crushing hard already. All of the above then. Anyway, after a week or so, and a good venting session with my roommates, I got past it. I realised that I actually loved the friendship we had. We had a great thing going and we would have ended up ruining it. A curve is not the worst thing. If you look at it from a different angle, it could be a blessing in disguise. Like my curve saved a friendship, another curve could save you from a person you are incompatible with and it would probably take you a nasty heart break to finally realise🤷 But just a word of advice, if you gotta curve someone, be nice. Put yourself in their shoes. Ask yourself how you would feel if you were on the receiving end of that curveball. Would it knock you out and give you a figurative concussion? Ps: Be honest. Most times, the truth in a curve is usually better to the recipient than a lie. At least in my experience that's what I found. Be honest. I still cringe when I remember that day though. It was a Friday🙄 

Hey guys🤗 I know I missed Friday and Saturday's posts but there were unavoidable circumstances. But don't worry, I will make it up to you guys😘 Hope you understand. 

Xoxo, Tess❤️
