It was on 11 th November 2018 when I was walking through the city in an attempt to run some few errands when I had an encounter that seemed unique to me. From a distance, I spotted some young individuals along the street throwing pillows to passersby and engaged in some kind of a fight using the pillows as weapons. I had never seen such a thing before and I was hesitant to walk along the street for the fear that it could have been something serious that could have been dangerous.
Sine I did not have another way home, I had to towards the already forming group of individuals fighting one another using pillows. There were many pillows stacked together on one side of the path and as people passed by, pillows were thrown to them and a fight would ensure with the pillows. Upon getting to the spot, a pillow was thrown towards me and hit my face. I felt irritated because I was not willing to get involved in the activity that was going on.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
As I tried working my way out of the small crowd, more pillows were thrown towards me while some participants in the crowd urged me to pick up a pillow and engage in the activity. Almost all the other passersby were accepted to engage in the activity and it seemed weird to them that I was not interested. I had a lot of errands to make and therefore I didn’t have the time to engage in the activity. Although I later on came to realize that the activity known as pillow fighting was just a mere fun activity, I didn’t have time to spare for it.
I felt irritated by those trying to insist that I should take part and almost burst out of anger and fury. However, I realized that I needed to control myself in order to ensure that I didn’t cause a scene. I therefore had to give in for at most five minutes in order to earn my way out. Although I gave in, the activity was not fun to me.
Another episode occurred on January 15 th 2019 at around 3p.m. as I was in the company of my friends heading for a very important meeting along one of the streets in the city. We came across a group of young people doing some dance moves and people passing by were being urged to join in. Most people passing by joined to an extent that some motorists parked their cars aside to join the dance.
Although the activity seemed enjoyable, we didn’t have enough time left before the start of the meeting. We only had approximately 20 minutes before the start of the meeting. However, one of my friends suggested that we spare some five minutes and participate in the dance. All the others apart from me agreed with the suggestion and within no time, they were already in the group doing the dance leaving me alone. My decision to differ with the suggestion was based on the fact that we had a distance to walk and we had limited time. I felt angry and frustrated by my friends because I was new in the city and could not leave alone because I didn’t know the meeting place. They further pulled me into the dancing group forcefully and against my wish.
I decided to just stand in the midst of the dancing group because participating was against my wish. However, I realized that it appeared weird and those around me looked at me with astonishment. In an attempt to deal with the anger inside me, I danced despite the fact that I am not good at it. By the time we left for the meeting, it was late and we found the meeting half way and therefore missed out on a lot of things and a fine imposed on us as per the rules of the meeting. This further aggravated my anger and after the meeting ended I had to vent out my anger towards my friends by expressing my disappointment in them through words.
