The Remains

Whatever event it was or occasion that was celebrated, there is always something that is left afterwards that reminds you of that event or occasion. Be it pleasant or horrible, there is always something that causes the joy or pain to linger on or be forgotten - the remains!

This friendship started a very long time ago even though i don't remember how it started. It was so cool. Very convenient for each party especially because we could get someone to talk to all the time. Someone who really did listen and gave comfort. Someone who understood our world and wouldn't judge us. Someone who actually lived our world with us. It was a great friendship! An adorable one!

Days went by, weeks went by, months went by and then years went by, we lost touch, got in touch, lost touch again and got in touch again too. The friendship wouldn't die. The remains of the friendship lingered on. It was pleasant. One that isn't easy to let go. A lovely one.

After getting in touch again, the friendship grew to a new different level. The love was different, the kindness superb, the support extraordinary. Ideas were shared, plans were hatched and execution done together.

We got each others back and looked out for each others good or so i thought. Maybe this wasn't true. Maybe i was living in an illusion.

We have lost touch again and i am now confronted with the remains of the friendship- this time the remains are a mixture of joy and pain. Of pain probably much more. I'm now confronted with the decision to allow the remains to linger on or disappear. Allowing it to linger on means i'm harnessing the hope of getting in touch again. A hope which i don't think it exists!
Literature and Christ lover!

People of Many shades

Image
One of the most difficult people to live with are those whom you cannot tell who they really are or what they really want. Double standard people. People of many shades. You cannot tell their real intentions or what they really feel about you. I believe it will be much easier to live or co-exist with someone if you knew who they are or what their intentions are. That way, you are well able to move around them freely and easily. People of many shades or double standard people are difficult to please. The difficulty in pleasing those lies in the fact that you cannot tell who or what they are; in order to make provision for that ‘who’ or ‘what’. You can only try to do something and hope that it meets their expectation. Most often than not, expectations are never met. And if you are the kind that worries a lot when someone is not happy or pleased with you, you end up in a state of constant worry. This could leave you depressed. People of many shades or double standard people are ...

Purple Birthday

Image
My excitement kept growing that at a point i thought i will explode out of excitement as my birthday approached. Deep within i felt some joy that i don't remember ever feeling when  my birthday was approaching. As to why or what i was excited about, i cant tell. All i knew was that, my birthday was gonna be special. I woke up in the morning, determined not to remind my family about my birthday cuz i always did. I picked up my phone and switched my mobile data on as i usually put it off before sleeping (thanks to the Yellow mobile network that 'steals' your credits even when the phone hasn't been touched for hours...lol) and read a message from my lil sis who was sleeping ryt next to me, wishing me a happy birthday. I smiled at her and replied, thanking her for starting my day ryt. I picked a dress out of my wardrobe and leaped to go and iron it so that the lights do not betray me. I then made ready for my friend's wedding at 11 am. I was excited about the wedd...

Fun at the lorry station

Image
A magnitude of fun burst out among numerous young boys and girls all over. Some chasing each other and others teasing and pulling the clothes of the other. These young boys are probably driver’s mates. The ones who have a touch of romance are seen trying to talk to the young girls who are selling one thing or the other in a pan on their hands. Some try to position the items in the pan properly for the young girls; all to score some romantic points...lol One thing you cannot fathom is what these young boys and girls are happy about. It’s an early morning at the lorry station with a lot of activities all over. Everybody is engaged in one thing or the other; calling out the names of the towns/ cities the vehicles are going to, pulling the clothes and hands of prospective passengers to climb on a particular vehicle, selling items your mind could imagine; from pepper to phones, preaching the word of God, selling songs on pen drives, etc. Despite all of these, the young boys and girl...
