"I know am beautiful, stupid"

"You are beautiful my daughter, my lovely daughter" I can to this day hear clearly my dad's voice when he told me I was beautiful, he was the first man to ever tell me how beautiful I was at a tender age of about 5 or probably even younger. So I know am beautiful and dont need anyone to tell me so for me to feel good especially when it is coming from a guy who is trying to get flirty.

Today, I looked good as usual and was on my way to church very early in the morning and I felt good about my appearance and my lovely naija gown. As an usher in the house of God, my position was to stand right in front of the sanctuary and usher people all the way to the front and give them seat. I love doing that and itz no big deal cos I enjoy seeing people getting comfortable. However, it becomes unbearable for me when I have someone staring at me ceaselessly for no cogent reason.

There was this particular guy that just wouldnt look away, what I did was, when I saw the guy standing up to go the wash room I followed him and told him to stop staring at me cos it was making me uncomfortable and I need to concentrate on my work. I gave him a heinous smiled to make sure he got it into his head that it was no joke and quietly walked away. Now, I believe my friend when she said there is no difference between some people and a GOAT, a goat is a very stubborn animal, very agile and annoying that goes back to the same spot where it was chased from.

As if I had just told this guy "please stare at me and whisper sweet nothings to me" It got me annoyed when he began to say things to me from his seat, and once I turned to look at him and his lips, I figured out that he said "you are beautiful" without thinking, I found myself saying "I know am beautiful, stupid". Only then did I realize that it was wrong of me to have done that.

I hate it when people, especially guyz try to flirt with me for no reason and then tell me things that I already know. It'll only take the grace of God for me not to like this guy and have no prejudices for him when next I see him, am suppose to love my brothers in the Lord and I pray for grace to love all and sundry both those who are reasonable and unreasonable.

I love everyone and hope to bring out the best in everyone, I pray I can continually handle issues like this with all wisdom!
