Homonyms : Never Have I Ever

Image Source

I grew up with my mom always reminding me that having an abortion was a taboo not just in our family but against the tradition where I am from and anyone who got an abortion dies.

Truthfully, I have not just heard awful stories about her sisters, my cousins, and relatives who tried it and never came back alive but I have witnessed a senior niece of mine who went behind her parent's back to commit abortion because she felt she wasn't ready for a child yet, unfortunately, she did not survive a day after she came back home from the hospital she went to carry out the abortion.

Witnessing her death at dug a tender age has been a nightmare for me and when I mistakenly got pregnant, I had no option but to give birth to the child who is now eight years old, and ever since then, I have made sure to have safe sex or stay away from sex during my not-safe day because I don't want to be found wanting at any point. I wouldn't want to see myself die while committing such acts.

Never Have I Ever Smoked

Although I live in a neighbourhood where kids and teens want to try out the new trend and become big girls and boys, I am surrounded by friends who smoke like it is their daily bread and their parents have no problem with that, my siblings smoke including my parents but for me, smoking is a Big No. I have never tasted it. The thought of smoking alone makes me cringe even if I am around them when they smoke.

Never Have I Ever Rode A Bicycle

Growing up, I lived in an army barracks and as a child who lived in such places, we dare to try anything and everything but one of the things I never ever dared to try is riding a bicycle or even having a bicycle of my own.

I am afraid of heights and secondly, I have watched my friends get injured while trying to learn how to ride a bicycle when we were young, so for the fear of heights and the thought of having injury all in the name of learning how to ride a bicycle because of course, I knew my parents were not going to pity me when I come back home with an injury with an excuse that I had it while trying to ride a bicycle, I never ever thought to riding one or learning how to ride one.

Never Have I Ever Gone To The Beach

My fear of large body water right from a young age especially because of the gory stories I heard from my mom about how large body waters killed people and aside from that, I once lived with a roommate who always told me scary stories about her village streams and those stories has deprived me of the joy of going to the beach anytime my group of friends brings up the ideas about visiting the beach.
