Behind The Shade.

Salute Senoras!

Welcome To Mi Blog

Woke up this morning feeling glum but my energy was ready to be exploited. I looked at the mirror and let out a broad smile while admiring the beauty locked inside me. Last night was one of the best days of my life outdoors.

About Last Night

I was called out by my cousin's brother so we could hang out together for fun and I didn't hesitate to reply.

Yes! Yes! Yippee! Where's the location?!?... was my next question. _giggles

In an hour...

Please drop me here! I said to my uber driver.

Looking at the place I am to meet him, a nice lounge that its design thrilled me, I wanted to know what the inside looks like, if the outer part looks so astonishing how would the inside look like...

It was so magnificent, the interior decor was lit! Tbh!
In a flash, he ordered a barbeque fish, assorted peppered meat, fruit salads, a mesmerizing meal (well-garnished egg sauce), and some drinks with liquor. I ate to my satisfaction that my stomach was pleading, lol.

The gathering was boyish-men, ladies weren't invited. I was the only lady there, so it didn't give me the space to explore and take pictures at all and it's quite odd for me to talk unreasonable things so I engaged in a few chit-chats with them, and in a few minutes, I went upstairs into the hotel room. Everything was pleasant to me, I took my bath and went to bed.

Fast forward...to yesterday morning being Sunday...

It was raining heavily and in no time, it started drizzling so I decided to go out because I have an important business run I have to meet up. For a second, I thought about forgetting everything and just diving back into the warm comfort of the bed, but as soon as I remembered my goals, I knew there was no backing down.

In a blink of an eye, I was out. Whew! It was drizzling fast, it seemed like the rain pranked me because when I looked out of the room window, it wasn't so bad but when I was walking under it, it wasn't the way I saw it. Gosh, nevertheless I am already out! I can't go back! I was successful at waving the incoming bike rider after much negotiation of price, I hopped in and he drove off.

Before I hopped onto the bike, I wore my shades to avoid drops of rain preventing me from seeing my way as we drive to my destination. I am not a fan of wearing shades, of course, I rather move without it come rain or sun. That day was a different day for me because I saw the importance of the shades.

It entails " Protection ".

Protection from what??

1. Sun.
2. Face
3. Diminishing Fashion

There are so many explanations on why we need to wear shades/sunglasses, for example, to prevent dark circles under the eyes, prevent the eye's health from cataracts, the direct hit of the sun UV rays, reducing the bright environment by dimming the glare and most importantly fashion by elevating your appearance.

Have you thought outside the box about why some people wear shades aside from fashion and UV protection?

Take me for an instance, who is not in the league with those who fancy sunglasses. The reason I wore that one was best known to me.
Flash back to where I arrived at my destination, I paid the bike rider and left, but still, the shade was on my face. The fact that I felt insecure that day a bit contributed to it, it rained on me throughout the journey till I got to my destination, which assisted my level of insecurities to be high!

I felt embarrassed but my shades hide them perfectly, so I got no worries.
I walked freely because I felt hidden from the people walking past me, remembering it was still drizzling hard as I walked, and the dim view I was getting from the shades made me comfortable. I was sort of hiding from the world and just moving in the shadows of my shade looking happy. I realized that some people wear these shades to hide their insecurities and whatever they feel isn't cool with them.

I am a social bee, of course, but that day seemed like I was another person entirely, especially shying away from things, feeling like I am not capable of the task ahead of me. I got some stern looks from people, I think it was the shade haha! But who cares right?? I just walked past everyone like that!

As soon as I arrived at the store for the business run, my colleague asked me a silly question...

You must be joking right?!, why are you wearing a shade under the rain??!! ... she laughed out loud!

You look like a weirdo baby girl!... she added!

I wasn't mad at her, I was mad at myself for being such a different person that day, I just looked at her, smiled, and proceeded with what brought me there, which after that I left for home.

I feel everyone is entitled to change their feelings/mood but what if it is a feeling you don't understand??

Thanks for reading this piece!
