Farting should be generally normalised.

I wrote this newsletter like a month ago. I just felt like publishing. 😂 1. It's been a few weeks and so much has happened. Like, a ton. I don't even know where to start, but I won't bore you with all the details.

Who's been thinking about me?

I literally cried my eyes out on my way home one of these nights. It felt strange most especially the cause of the tears but it just hit ticking the box ofabout crying in the dark that just hits differently when you're feeling low.

When I got home and my dad opened the gate, I had already wiped the tears on my face and hurriedly went in went when he called me back asking in yoruba that "ki lo ṣe ẹ to ṣu ẹnu bayii" meaning: what's wrong and why did you pout your mouth this way in the most hilarious tone but the laugh wasn't coming. He wasn't bothered, though and he said something funny and I had to just forcefully smile.

Shortly after, I used my coping mechanism to console myself. I felt better, and you wouldn't have guessed that I was in such a state just an hour before. I let out a fart, and my dad walked in just in time. He threatened to retaliate, but I told him he wasn't around when the fart happened. After all, no one should be scolded for answering the call of nature.

It reminded me of my old roommate, Shukrah, who never minded anyone farting and believed it was okay to do so anytime. That's one of the reasons I liked her. You could hear sounds from anywhere, and no one took offense and I think it should be like that generally unless it's a particularly loud one that you can laugh off, then it's all good. Some people are just too dramatic when it comes to fart like they don't do all these things, too. Oh, please. 😆 

P.S. I need to keep up with writing weekly, or I'll lose the consistency of this newsletter, just like my YouTube channel. But the channel isn't dead yet, and I've been thinking of new ideas. Let's stick to this newsletter together.

Right now I don't think I have the energy to cry because I have been battling chronic catarrh for 2 nights now and crying would just be me shooting myself in the leg. Fuck! I hate catarrh. 😭😭😭😭
