NO.

NO is the easiest thing to say and I can be tightfisted.

I didn’t write on here yesterday because I had written down on paper, which I have now misplaced. But that shows how life can be fleeting.

I was reflecting on some events that happened earlier this month and how someone pointed out how easily and sternly I say NO to questions and requests. If you’re conversant with me, you’d know that the easiest for me to say is NO, and without hesitation.

Some requests are automatically met with a NO. An example is asking to lend my book or be gifted a book I own. I’m extremely tightfisted with my books, so perish it.

I also dislike people ascribing possession to anything I hold dearly. For example, I do not like people who call my cats their cats or are too affectionate with them (except you’re my loved one).
