You people don't know ball.
And it shows.
Why do you deny yourself heaven? Why do you deny yourself the blissful taste of bread and noodles?
Hello my wonderful newsletter audience. If you’re new here, hi. I’m Najwa, and I write whatever goes on in my head, fictional or not. Do well to subscribe to my newsletter so you’ll get notified when I send out a new one.
If you’re a returning subscriber, do you eat noodles and bread? If yes, hello to you, if no, I want you to know that you don’t know ball.
Today, I was tired. I wanted to eat noodles, but I had beautiful, fresh bread. And so my ancestors whispered to me, “why have one when you can have both?” and I did! It was beautiful, so beautiful.
When I tell people I eat bread and noodles, they call me all sorts of names, some call me a monster, and some say I’m a criminal. One time, one girl called me a witch. This makes me wonder- what do you people eat? Why do you deny yourself heaven? Why do you deny yourself the blissful taste of bread and noodles?
It’s day 11 of my 12 days of newsletters challenge, and today has been so beautiful. I spent the whole day with my friends, and everything was okay. You know those days when everything just feels right? The weather was cool, the fan was doing its job like it collects a salary, and everywhere was clean. We all wore oversized t-shirts and ate noodles straight out of the pot. I mean, they did chase me away at some point because I tried to introduce them to my bread and egg cuisine, but that’s not important.
The air is soft with laughter, random arguments, and a comfortable silence that only exists in friendships that don’t require performance. The world outside is loud, the news is bad, and people are mad. Everything feels like it’s moving too fast, demanding too much. But here, in this room, everything is simple. The noodles was hot, the fan is working, and my friends are here. Maybe life isn’t so bad afterall.
500 subscribers???
A few days ago, I posted a Note and said nobody will rest when I get to 500 subscribers, and guess who got 500 subscribers?! Meee. Yesterday, I didn’t feel so good, I was tired, and I just wanted to sleep. When I saw that I had gotten 500 subscribers, I waited for the excitement, but nothing came. I was just… There. But today, I’m so happy that 500 people saw my newsletter and thought “I like it here, i’m going to subscribe.” I’m so happy, I could cry. When I started this newsletter, I came from nothing-
Sorry, I wanted to try out my motivational speaker skillset.
Thank you all for staying, reading my rants, indulging my unseriousness and letting me take up space in your inbox.
It pains me to think that some of the 500 of you (now 509) are missing out on the sacred experience of eating noodles straight from the pot and securing hot, fresh bread before it finishes. This is a community, a family even, and yet you’re all out there suffering, eating noodles from plates with no bread. SMH!
Thank you for subscribing, for reading, for laughing (I hope), and for making this space feel like home. Now i’m going to do karaoke with my friends (terrifying them by singing very loudly, and being tone-deaf while i’m at it)
You deserve to be prosecuted for that combination of food
Noodles and bread is not baddd😭
