Do you know it's only in Africa where parents remove their spectacles to hear exactly what you're saying?

This will be a sort of diary thingie magie that I can write in. Get ready for rants, some tears (from me not from you lol) and a bit of humou...
You've made it this far (it's only been 4 parts idk what I'm saying) and you've not gotten bored to death! What a wow. You are an amazing and incredible human being. If we were talking in person, by now someone would have interrupted me and changed the topic 'cause no one really cares about what I'm up to.
Anyways, this probably should have have been part 1 of this book but it's not so get over it.

1) My name is a palindrome. This means that it can be read the same backwards and forwards e.g noon, kayak, level, mum.
2) I'm left-handed. I don't know why right-handed people are always so fascinated by this but they are. A couple days ago this guy noticed it and he said "Wow you're left-handed? I like girls that are left-handed. Wanna hook up?" You can't make this stuff up. That was the worst pickup line ever.
3) If this isn't me I don't know what is

I'm like the Queen of Procrastination. I'm that person who revises during lunch break for the test and gets a B. Procrastination is my best friend.
4) Everyone thinks I'm old. This has got to be one of the most annoying things in the world. I don't know if it's because I act mature or look it, everyone things I'm at least 3 years older than I really am. When I talk to adults there're always like "so what do you do for work?" or "what do you study in university?". Boiiiii can you ask my age and not assume things🙄 and when I reply, don't call me a liar! On New Years Eve I met this guy and when I told him my age, he fell on the floor and refused to accept that I'm younger than he thought.
5) For as long as I can remember I've always hated reading books in 3rd person. It just doesn't feel right but strangely my favourite book series is written in 3rd person. It's called Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I highly recommended reading it even if you're a 3rd person hater like me!
6) I'm the shyest person ever. If you just met me and we don't immediately click, it'll be so hard for you to make words come out of my mouth and most of the time it's not because I don't want to talk, it's cause I'm too busy not wanting to be talking to you that my brain fails to come up with things to talk about. The amount of times this happens is insane. I can literally just smile and nod through a whole conversation without saying a word. It's a talent. One thing I've learnt is that there's nothing more human beings love than talking about themselves.
7) When people ask me what my hobbies are a lot of the time I respond with "I don't have any" because I really don't. Sometimes I say I like to read in my spare time but when I read, I read in seasons (sometimes I can be a book worm for months and other times I can go months without touching a book unless it's for school). I also don't play any sports (outside of school) and I'm not into sewing or anything like that. The only thing I'm consistent with is staying at home being a couch potato and binging series on Netflix. That's not the ideal hobby I can mention to someone.

8) I'm a horrible texter backer. You text me, I see the message and I'll be too lazy to reply at the moment and I forget. Next thing I know it's a fortnight later and it's way too late to reply. So then I decide to avoid this situation by texting you first but when you reply the whole thing repeats its self. Sorry, not so sorry🙂
9) Pet peeves! Oof I have a lot of these. Perhaps I'll make a chapter dedicated to this subject. My biggest pet peeve is when people mispronounce my name. I have the simplest name in the world yet 8/10 people will mispronounce it. And it's not like my name isn't common. People are just too lazy to do it right. Ah and some people actually have the nerve to mispronounce it a couple hundred times after I've corrected them.
10) I'm proudly Kenyan. A lot of the time other Kenyans don't believe that because I apparently have an accent🤷♀️ maybe it's cause I go to a school that has a lot of British teachers and students so I've adopted their speaking mannerisms. Who knowsssss. And some people say I don't even look Kenyan. Where're you from?
