THE THING ABOUT FRIENDSHIP.


I believe that one of my greatest assets are quality of friendship I have in my circle. I can even swear to having the best support system and all. 

A friend of mine came over today, it has been like forever since we last met, there was a lot of catching up to do and it was totally fun. Traveling down memory lanes we realized it had been 6 solid years down this line. 

To have someone in your life that long is something golden, right since JSS1 till now, the journey has been worth it. Of all the people I was friends with when I met her, she's the only one whose friendship had stayed this long and gotten better. 

Trust me, it hadn't been easy. She can be a pain in the ass, her superpowers are being annoying and strongheaded. Being friends with her taught me tolerance. 

Have you had someone so annoying that you feel like just walking away from them but you just can't because you love them too much? Honestly, that's hard. To love someone even when mad at them, I had to learn tolerance and she was my scheme of work(smiles)

For anyone else, I wouldn't put myself through that stress, but again she isn't just anyone. With the time we've been together, we've both impacted each other's lives and I feel so proud of how far we've come. The storms, fights, and quarrels, it has been God. 

Dearest reader, the thing about friendship is it never going to be all rosy, there are going to be terrible fights, and there are going to be compromises made but it's all part of the friendship and what makes it stronger. One lesson this friendship taught me was to always be the bigger person, it seems petty but it does a lot good.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
