Painful Addiction
"What happens when a nerdy girl falls for a playboy?" "They say that pain is a sign of weakness leaving your body but in my case, it's a clamp that refuses to let go of my heart no matter how hard I try." Chisom has had a complicated life but when she meets him, the world seems brighter and everything feels a thousand times better. Even though Chisom masquerades as the strongest person she knows with nothing being able to move her, deep down, her emotions are as fragile as an egg: easily shattered. Meeting him was one of the best things to happen to her. He was her first love but would he be her last?
Perfectionist
Knowing the crazy amount of effort you put into something and later on, you don't get the results you were expecting has to be on the list of one of the most frustrating and infuriating things to ever happen to a person.
I had always been an extremely competitive person, right from my primary and secondary days.
Every competition I signed up for, I would always put in all my energy and effort in making sure I came out tops and when I didn't, I would cry myself to sleep and there would be no amount of comfort that would make me feel any less like a failure.
A perfect example of this was when I competed in an inter-school spelling bee competition in SS2.
I had prepared for months prior to the event. I wouldn't sleep, eat or even take a shower until I had memorized the spellings of every word I had in my quota for each day.
