I am a Victim, Are you?

This is not in any way a case of scams or any related stuff rather it is a case of how I have made myself a victim all this while. Please, I will like to plead with you to read this post with a clear heart of sincerity and readiness to do the needful if you find yourself in the category of persons who have become a victim of themselves. One more thing, I will try as much as possible to make this post as short and clear as possible for easy comprehension because I believe that part of the reason why we read other peoples posts is to learn one thing or the other from them. Having said that let me move straight into the issue of the day.

Are you a Victim?

To be fair, I will not blame anyone who after reading this post finds out that he/she has been the major reason why getting favours from people and most especially from friends has been hard. I will love to ask every one of us this important question. What happens if this platform shuts down now? I know a lot of us will shout God forbid and whatever prayer they can come up with in other to counsel such a thing from happening. Well, before you go ahead doing that, let me tell you that the only thing constant in life is change and whenever it decides to happen, it will surely happen. I am not in any way saying or praying for it to happen but what if it happens today? Have you asked yourself this question or are you just like some of us who are busy thinking of the things to write in other to get better earnings? Please, be very intentional in reading this post for you not to miss anything.

There is a fifty per cent chance of you being a victim of what I am about to say in this post therefore you should not take your eyes off the lines and paragraphs. Let me ask us another important question. How many friends have you made since you joined this platform? Some of us have made quite a huge number of friends while some others are yet to get to that level. Whatever be the case, what will you do if the platform shuts down now, would you just sit back and watch your friends blow away into the thin air? We all have friends in and outside of this platform and most times we fail to understand that we might be the reason why our perceived friends don’t see us like true friends. When was the last time you heard from your friends? Making friends is one hail of a big task but sometimes we think it is just by drinking, partying and playing together that determine who a friend is. This is why most of us only remember our friends when it is a thing to party and after the partying, everyone shuts the door waiting for another party to come. How often do you reach out to your friend?

I understand that social media has made it even harder for us to maintain true friendships especially with people around us because we are always glued to the internet. Have you reached out to your friend since the beginning of February? I am a victim of this because I barely reach out to my friends especially when they are not close by. It is not just me. I believe that some of us here are suffering this same fate and it has become the very reason why most times we find ourselves finding it difficult to share our problems and challenges with them. You cannot just wake up one morning and decide to lay your challenges on the doorstep of a friend you barely call. This is where most of us are getting it all wrong. Now, some of us have spent over 6 months or 1 year on this platform and yet we do not have any particular friend from this platform we can call or have a heart to heart connection with. This is because we are more focused on working for the money rather than creating connections that can last us a lifetime.

If you do not believe that you might find your missing rib on this platform then you are still not getting it right. Not just the missing rib thing, you can find that destiny helper you have been looking for all your life just because you extend a better hand of friendship even outside this platform. I am a serious victim of what I am talking about and that is why I decided to bring it here because I believe there are some others out there who are also victims of this same sin. I call it a sin because we are meant to develop and connect even beyond this platform in that way, if for any reason the platform shuts down today, we will not lose our friends entirely especially those we have created strong bonds with. Let me remind you that there are some of your classmates and colleagues who could have been of great help to you in terms of surviving in life but because you have barely reached out or talked to them since, after school, you cannot summon the courage to ask for their help even when you know that they could be of help. There is nothing wrong in doing the calling and texting even if they do not respond or reciprocate. One thing you will know is that they are seeing your texts and calls which means that you are making an effort to reach out to them because you see them as friends. You may not have the chance to hear this again or anytime soon therefore, decide today to take it upon yourself to reach out to your long lost friends. Remember, we both have no excuse if we end up losing our friends.

This post has become longer than I wanted it to be therefore I will end it here but before I do that, I will like to drop my Telegram handle (@davinchysax) in case you want us to become friends even outside of this platform. I will sincerely cherish your friendship. I do not want to remain a victim again and I know you do not want the same either. I will make a conscious effort to reach out to my long lost friends. Please do the same too.

Davinchysax loves you.
