conundrum (first part)

Bolu is refreshingly straightforward, not one to overanalyze things or read between the lines. Despite her undeniable attractiveness, she sometimes finds herself doubting her own appeal, not because she suffers from an inferiority complex, but simply because she's often puzzled by the attention she receives from others. She’s the kind of person who takes life as it comes, navigating each day with a sense of resilience and adaptability. At 24, Bolu is a university student at the prestigious Lagos State University, a path she never thought she'd tread. Coming from a modest, lower-class family, the idea of pursuing a degree seemed like a distant dream. Yet, life had other plans, and she's learning to embrace the unexpected twists and turns. Though she's made it into one of the esteemed institutions, she can't help but feel like time is dragging her behind, especially when she compares her journey to those of her peers. Bolu is known for her sassiness and sharp wit, often lighting up the room with her humor when she's around people she trusts. She's the kind of person who’s fun to be around when she lets her guard down, revealing a vibrant personality that’s endearing to those close to her. While she prides herself on being considerate and thoughtful, she's also unafraid to drop the niceties when someone doesn’t deserve her kindness. There’s a balance in her, one that keeps people on their toes, but it’s this complexity that makes her all the more intriguing. Despite her achievements, Bolu sometimes feels self-conscious about her background. She tends to keep her humble beginnings private from her friends, almost as if she's ashamed of where she comes from. It's a contradiction she’s still grappling with, one that often leaves her wondering if she’s truly comfortable in her own skin. As she navigates the ups and downs of life, Bolu is slowly learning to embrace her journey, flaws and all, and find her own pace in a world that often seems to be moving faster than she is.
