Rumours have a way of getting to reach the ears of the said person being rumored about, after all that's why it's called rumor
One rumour I had and I knew it was about me, I didn't need to wonder who it was about , I just knew it was me being referred to . Here it goes:
I heard some people talking one day just as I was about entering my estate gate,I stood at the aboki's shop to buy detergent that morning and only to overhear the group talking about how the girl had big butt and that she was a lash tech, they went on to say she had a sugar daddy who was sponsoring her in school and who also funded the shop for her, when I heard this part I smiled and I already knew I was the one they were talking about, I decided to wait a little so i could hear the remaining part of the gist.
Somehow, it got the fact that it was even my neighbour that was spreading the rumors about me in the estate, it's normal that I was being talked about, because why not it's a very small estate and everybody knows who lives where all in the name yearly get together party, well while some part of the rumors were truth, some others weren't and it made me self conscious.
Like why will I have a sugar daddy, I have a boyfriend for crying out loud, so if he had been the one to overhear all this , or if paraventure we lived in the same estate ,maybe that could have affected our relationship,but thankfully he doesn't and I'm left to wonder if I should even host the shop warming party I had planed to do this year for my loyal customers
Well, I will I have to have a think in that again, already I know it's not okay to even listen to rumors , wait will I even call this rumour? I think the name fit for this is Gossip,I think I should let them gossip more.
I had told my boyfriend on phone what I heard and he had a good laugh, because he and I knows he was the one who funded my shop and even funded my training in ghana, I had specially gone to learn how to tix lashes there.
This rumor got to me somehow, because I had to be conscious of what I did around the house or what I did In my shop, I also did stop talking about myself to my neighbour and only shared greetings with them, this is because I didn't want a situation where I would be uncomfortable walking on the streets , I am sure you can relate to how that feels.
Somehow I think I learnt a thing or two from this thing I discovered, I learnt to be more discreet in my dealings , if I wanted people not to say what is not about me. Even though some part might be true , doesn't mean I like being gossiped about , and yes I know it's inevitable.
