COMFORT FINALLY FOUND COMFORT
The Woman My Village People Sent to Me
Those days, Comfort was always throwing jabs at me in the comment section.
NONE OF MY POSTS MADE SENSE TO THIS LADY.
I could post something funny—she would react with anger.
I could make a serious comment—she would still react with anger.
Even when she found my comment under somebody else's post, she would press that ANGRY REACTION like Facebook had employed her as a full-time opposition leader.
Her name was Comfort, but honestly…
SHE NEVER MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE.
I started suspecting that my village people had personally recruited her.
Maybe they held a meeting and said:
“This Mariano is enjoying life too much. Let's send Comfort to disturb his peace.”
So one day, I came up with a brilliant plan.
I thought:
“Let me tell this girl that I like her. Maybe love will soften her heart.”
I gathered courage and told her:
“Comfort, I LIKE YOU.” ❤️
Do you know what she replied?
JUST ONE LAUGHING EMOJI!
😂
My confidence immediately left the group chat.
I felt embarrassed, but I tried to remain strong.
Then, several hours later, she replied again:
“Ever since I was born, I have never seen darkness complimenting light.”
AHHHHHHHHH!
I nearly vomited my ancestral confidence.
My stomach started boiling like hot water.
I asked her:
“Wait first! WHO IS THE DARKNESS AND WHO IS THE LIGHT?”
She replied with another:
😂
That was the exact moment I decided to carry my pain like a responsible adult.
I unfriended her.
BLOCKED THE EMOTIONAL HIGHWAY.
And from that day, I stopped seeing her traces on my timeline.
For FOUR GOOD MONTHSSSSSS!
Peace returned.
My posts began breathing.
My comments could finally sleep peacefully.
THE RETURN OF COMFORT
This morning, I woke up and reached for my phone before checking whether I was still alive.
I opened Facebook.
Friend requests everywhere.
But one name caught my attention.
COMFORT.
I froze.
I looked at the screen.
I rubbed my eyes.
I looked again.
“MY GOD! THEY HAVE SENT THIS WITCH BACK TO ME!”
I entered her timeline to investigate.
And that was when I discovered something that shook my entire spiritual foundation.
COMFORT HAD FINALLY FOUND COMFORT.
The woman who previously looked like a stockfish had apparently entered a new chapter of life.
Her transformation was so serious that I had to sit down.
I whispered:
“Lord… is this the same person who called me darkness?”
I started facing a difficult dilemma.
Should I accept her friend request?
Or should I protect my peace?
I told myself:
“NO! NEVER AGAIN, O YE SPIRIT OF DARKNESS!”
Because what if I accepted her?
What if she started throwing angry reactions again?
What if she returned to the comment section and resumed her professional duties?
I was about to decline the request.
I even positioned my finger properly.
But somehow…
MY HAND ACCEPTED IT.
Now, before you judge me…
It wasn't what you were thinking.
I had simply discovered an important lesson about life.
ALWAYS FORGIVE PEOPLE—ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU NOTICE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THEIR LIVES.
Because life is about growth.
Life is about forgiveness.
Life is about second chances.
And sometimes…
LIFE IS ABOUT ACCEPTING A FRIEND REQUEST AFTER SOMEONE HAS EXPERIENCED A VERY NOTICEABLE TRANSFORMATION.
Comfort, my sister…
Welcome back.
But please…
NO MORE ANGRY REACTIONS.
