The Importance of Books
Hello everyone. How are you doing? I hope you are good and making the most out of your day. I haven't been writing daily due to some unforseen circumstances but I am still trying to be consistent. I think I am trying my best.
I didn't really have any topic in mind today but as I was scrolling through the various articles here, I got the idea to write about books. It sounds funny I know but seeing so many articles and writings made me think about books. Also I am on holiday and I haven't touched my books in a while and in some weird way I miss them. So I just thought to myself why not write about it. Now there are a billion things I could write about on this topic but let me start from somewhere simple, why do people read books?
By the way I hope the dip in the prices of cryptocurrency isn't affecting you or your day. If it is, I think you should just hold on because it will soon be over. It is just part of the market and the experience teaches us to be patient. Just the way it is falling down that's how it will also rise up.
Now where was I, yeah books. People know books as those big brown or white objects with an hard cover. It is mostly made from paper which is gotten from the pulp of wood. The sight of a book isn't particularly appealing when compared to a movie or a picture. This might be way most people better understand things when they watch it rather than reading it. A large majority of people if they want to learn or know about a particular topic would want to watch it or see it in action rather than read about it in a book. That's why I always say that practical and an hands-on experience is better than theory or what you learn in the four walls of a class room.
A lot of people do not like books and as such do not appreciate their importance in/to the society. People see it as boring and too much work, it isn't captivating or attraction attention enough. This explains why the libraries and close to empty nowadays. Most students do not use them at all. To them, the environment is too dull and lacks life. Some might even say it is like an abandoned house or a ghost house, the lighting might even suggest that.
Part of the blame lies on the poor funding of libraries and also the nonchalant attitude of library staffs towards matters pertaining the growth of the library. In short, they aren't doing their job as they should.
But this doesn't justify the attitudes of the students. They of all people should know better. They should know the importance of the library and the books it contains to their academics and their life in general. Books contain a lot of knowledge, thousands and generations of them. The knowledge passed down from generation to generation in the form of a pen and a paper. For someone to have such knowledge at his/her fingertips is nothing short of amazing. In some societies or cultures it could even be termed criminal. How can you know so much, you are not God. That is the advantage books give you.
Reading books doesn't necessarily make you wise but it definitely sets you on the part. Wisdom is the experience and knowledge that you gain which gives you the ability to make sound judgments. It could be on issues, decisions or even anything. Most of all it makes you a respectable person anywhere you find yourself.
Books also make you an important person to the growth of society. As a person you add value and resources. You can say that's why books are such an important part of the school systems. They are essential because it is way students can explore the world and everything in between without leaving their chairs. You can know and gain a while lot and as such be able to tackle problems around you. You become a problem solver and add to the society in ways you can only imagine.
I could go on and on about how books are so important but this article will take forever to end so let me just stop here for now. Maybe another time I will continue or just write about why students don't like the library and most teenagers are beginning not to like school. Well that's a story for another day.
My Sponsors.
Thank you for taking your time to read this article and hopefully it was beneficial to you.
Till next time and maybe while you're waiting open a book and read.
My Day At The Bank
I don't really talk about my day here on read cash but since my day was a little bit interesting, I decided to share it. So sit down and try to enjoy the story, I hope I don't bore you.
My day started early this morning. I usually wake up late but since I was going out I needed to wake up early. I woke up around 5:30am to the sound of the alarm I set on my phone. It was really loud so I tried to locate my phone to turn it off without getting off my bed. I did that and went back to sleep. It rang in another ten minutes and I couldn't ignore it. I stood up and turned it off never to ring again. It was still dark outside and I was feeling a little bit sleepy. I sat down for about twenty minutes on my bed still trying to recover from my sleep.
I finally stood up to go and take my bath and thank God there was hot water. I ironed the cloth I was going to wear out so as that I look good and presentable. I had my bath and dressed up and was ready to head out. I wasn't able to have breakfast because I was in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare a meal because I wanted to get to the place I was going to early and also because there wasn't a lot of provisions in the house, we didn't have time to go shopping yet.
I told my dad I was heading out and he said okay. This was around 7:45am. I was going to the bank to complain because as usual they are behaving anyhow. I usually wonder why banks do this, frustrating the lives of their customers. If it is not deducting unjustifiable amounts of money from their accounts to blocking the accounts due to some unintelligent excuses. I am not joking but I think they are out to get you, to make your life very uncomfortable.
I had to get there as early as 8:00am to avoid the long queues at their customers services center which is the only place in the whole banking hall that the queues are long. You would wonder why they haven't shown concern that of all places that is where most people are going to, not even the deposits line. You will expect them to do something about it but they've done nothing which is disappointing but what can you expect.
I didn't leave the house on time so I couldn't get to the bank early enough. It didn't take time before I found a cab to take me there and I highlighted in front of the bank. I didn't know that the price of transport had increased so I spent more than I budgeted for but it was nothing.
I entered the banking hall and went to their complaints center. The queue wasn't long but their staffs were taking their time. I sat, patiently waiting for my turn hoping that they would be able to solve my problem today and not postpone it until tomorrow because I needed to get it done today. After waiting for almost one hour which felt like eternity it was my turn but one man was about to scatter everything.
Turns out he was very angry with the bank because they have been deducting his money anyhow from Christmas into the New Year and as such he wasn't able to celebrate the season with his family. This must have hurt him badly because he threatened to cause a scene if he wasn't attended to immediately and that the money deducted be reversed back into his account. He was actually going to fight with them or any of their staffs because he was already shouting on top of his voice. It was so serious, security had to come to calm him down or show him the way out. He eventually cooled down and was attended to.
Fortunately this incident did not affect me as I was attended to also but I wasn't able to find a solution to my problem. The lady behind the desk told me that I would need to get some certain documents before I can be attended to. I asked her if that was all and she responded affirmatively. I left the bank disappointed and headed home. Another time and money wasted.
I got home and had my breakfast which I skipped and then slept throughout the whole day. I think I was exhausted from my outing. I didn't really do much for the rest of the day and that's the summary of how my day went.
I would like for you guys to go check out my sponsors and see how amazing they are. They've been really supportive and I will also like to appreciate my new sponsor @Abubakar450 . Thank you very much.
Till next time guys and hopefully I will tell you something more interesting than my boring day.
A New Year, A Different Me.
It's a new year for all of us, at least for most of us if you are on my side of the world. When a new year begins people experience varying emotions. Some are happy, excited, enthusiastic, sad and indifferent. People just celebrate and experience it in different ways.
In my part of the world, most people mark the new year with a cross over service. It is a church service that is done on the night of the last day of the year into the morning of the new year. So you get why they call it 'cross over' service (no pun intended). I would say majority of the people who attend this service are the ones that haven't been going to church the entire year and as such try and use this to bribe or should I say deceive God. They go to church with a long list of prayers (or demands) telling God what they want for the new year as if he is a fairy of genie with three wishes.
It doesn't work like that and no man can deceive God. Nonetheless most Christians go to church and dedicate the new year to God. They pray for themselves and their families. They prefer to spend the last night of the year in the presence of God than their home. That's their preference and no one should judge them for that, let everyone spend the last day of the year as they wish.
A few number of people also have some sort of 'ritual' that they do at this time of the year. You could say that they are superstitious. They like to do this probably because it brings blessings to them in the incoming year and it is also a way of warding away bad omens. In summary, people just have their different ways of doing things.
Personally for me, I am indifferent. It is just like any other day/night to me. I don't really see anything special in it and I don't think I have any reason too. People start the new year with new year resolutions, a new beginning, a fresh start. To me, I am just wondering why you couldn't have started on any other day. Why did you have to wait for the new year before starting.
I see it as you being lazy or procrastination at it's peak. If you want to do anything the best time to start is now, not waiting for a special moment. Don't get me wrong, I am not against new year resolutions or goals or plans. I just think that it is better to begin now than waiting because who knows, it might be too late.
I attended a cross over service and I didn't make it something big. I just told myself that it might be a new year but I need to keep going harder, bigger and stronger than ever before. Not relenting or giving up because that is for the weak or fainthearted. To survive in this world you have to be resilience. The world is not a bed of roses and you have to work hard to get what you want. I know this already that is why I am putting in extra work this year to improve myself and make me a better person.
I am saying a Happy New Year to my awesome sponsors. Thank you for the encouragements throughout out the previous year, you guys have been awesome. I look towards more collaboration between us this new year. The sky is our starting point.
Now on to new year resolutions. This is easily defined as the goals and plans people set out for the new year. They hope and wish that by the end of the year, they must have achieved them. This is not the case most of the time but we can at least appreciate them for their efforts if they make any.
For any resolution, you do not need to put any unnecessary pressure on yourself. It is not the end of the world if you do not achieve the goal you set out to. Just make sure you made an effort and that you improved on yourself within that period. It could be in terms of skills, talents or jobs. It is all about taking yourself to a higher pedestal and making yourself more valuable.
In the process you might even meet people that will change your life for the better and move you forward. There are a thousand and one things you could possibly achieve.
Also make your goals or resolutions realistic, something achievable and not extreme. You can start with something small and then walk your way up. Rome wasn't built in a day and so it is a step by step process not an overnight journey.
All in all just make sure this year is different from all other years and you are better off at the end of it.
This is just what I have to say about the new year. I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I pray we all grow in this year.
Till next time.
Unboxing Boxing Day and New Year
Boxing Day originally was regarded as the day after Christmas when children and adults alike unwrap the gifts Santa Claus dropped for them under the Christmas tree. I know this is all fairy tales and myths so let me give you the more modern version.
It is the day when people remember the less privileged in the society and give to them. They go to the streets and give them gifts and other things just to help them. This is a selfless act that should be commended.
Generosity is an attractive attribute and everyone loves a cheerful giver. Giving is important and people should know that. We should make people know the importance of giving back to the society and helping people in need. It is not all about what you can get from others or what you want for yourself but for once putting others ahead of ourselves. Helping people get things that we see as normal for ourselves but they see it as a luxury. It is not easy out there and most of us know that. The pandemic has made everything worse especially with this new variant. So helping people in need is the least we can do to make the society a better place for everyone.
Boxing Day isn't only about giving it is also a day for celebration for some people. Some might not have been able to celebrate during Christmas so they use this opportunity.
Like in my city, there is this popular party that is done yearly on boxing day. People from all over the city come together to party and have fun together, it is almost like a festival of some sort. I haven't attended any but I hope I will be able to go next year, it seems like a whole lot of fun.
I would love for you to meet my amazing sponsors. They are the best.
I was supposed to write this article on the 26th but I wasn't able to. So I decided that I must at least write something down about it in my next article. I hope you were able to get one or two things out of it.
If you are yet to know, today is the last day of the year and a lot of things are going on. Most people are thankful for the grace to see the end of another year and the opportunity to see a new one, they are posting appreciation post on their social media handles to all the people that made 2021 a memorable one. They are also recounting their experiences, the good bad and ugly. The lessons learnt, the people they met and the loved ones they lost.
A lot of people are actually doing this on their WhatsApp status updates. I spent almost the enter day scrolling through people status and seeing them type one or two things about the year. I wasn't mentioned in them, so I wondered if I was a bad person (jokes aside). It just shows how grateful people were and we should be too. The year hasn't been easy on most of us and we can agree on that. Dealing with the pandemic and a bad economy isn't easy coupled with the dip in the value of Cryptocurrency towards the end of the year.
We survived and we should be grateful, it is no mean feat at all. I wish I could post some of the appreciation write ups here but I would be doing that without the permission of the owners which isn't good. Nonetheless we can do likewise and write or talk about how the year was for us. The ups and downs. Our happiest and saddest moments. The life lessons we learnt and the people who made our year a memorable one.
After this, we should lay out a plan for the new year and how we will make it our best year yet. I am not only talking about new year resolutions, I'm also talking about making plans to achieve our goals. We all should make a conscious effort to make 2022 different from 2021 and we can only achieve that by taking actions. Actions that will change your life for the better.
It can be a fresh start for you or just another day. It is your choice to make.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who made my year. A special shout-out to @Abhay and @Semaj2k21 for introducing me to this platform and taking me through it, you guys are truly the best. I also want to thank the BCH Naija Forum, you guys made me feel at home and you are one big family.
Till next year guys and to those already in the new year, Happy New Year.
First Year University Experience (2)
Hello everyone. I decided to make this a series and if you haven't read the first part, I urge you to so that you can understand it better. My experience really can't be told in one article so I will try to spread it as much as possible.
I stopped at the last part at the point where exams were approaching and I wasn't ready so let me continue from there.
A week to exams and my preparations were a total mess. I didn't even know where to begin or start from. The whole registration and settling down had taken a lot out of my time. Only God could save me. Oh did I forget to mention, I made sure I attended all the social events on campus.
From fresher welcome to gyration to departmental week and parties. Take this from me, there is no shortage of parties on a university campus. Always one going on at any particular time. I unfortunately made the unwise decision of attending most of them. I wanted to be the social guy, didn't want to be the socially awkward guy I was in secondary school. I also thought that since this is my first year, I better make the most of it as I won't have this luxury again.
I'm not going to lie, the parties are lit. Lots to eat and drink and there are lots of ladies if you get what I mean. The music, fun and women will make your night. Also the fresher welcome are also nice as you will get to eat proper food there and you also get souvenirs. Most of them are organized by fellowship as a way to get new members especially among the 100 level. I just like almost everybody attended not because I intend joining them but because of the goodies I get just by attending the event.
But take this from me, all of this is not worth it because I paid for it. The time that I could have spent reading and studying I decided to waste it on parties thus, putting myself in a very dicey situation. So another word of advise, always plan/spend your time wisely. I am not saying that you shouldn't have some fun but you should not do it at the detriment of your academics. Like my father always says, there is time for everything.
Back to the story. I didn't plan my time well and it was almost time for exams. So like any normal student, I resorted to TDB. If you don't know what the acronym means it stands for Till Day Break. It is loosely defined as what students do when they need to catch-up with their academics. They spend the whole night doing nothing but reading their books. They literally not figuratively bury their heads or even their whole body in their books because desperate times call for desperate measures. This method isn't ideal or even recommended but it is every student last resort.
I started TDB a week to the start of exam and it wasn't easy at all. I had to subject my body to a lot of discomforts just to avoid falling asleep. I could seat on the most uncomfortable chair or drink a cup of only black coffee or I will put my feet inside a bowl of cold water just so that I wouldn't sleep. Some times it worked most times it didn't, I just had to do something I couldn't just watch myself fail. I had to enlist the help of some of my friends. We read together and also solved questions together. This really helped me as I was able to study well.
It was already time for exams and I could say that I was fifty percent ready. I knew that I had tried my best and left everything for God, maybe he will show me favor.
I wrote the exams and did what I possibly could do. I don't think in any paper I answered all the questions. If it was objective I would just guess but if it was theory I left the space blank. I didn't resort to cheating or maybe I should use the word examination malpractice at all not because I am a man of principles (the parties should have told you that already) but because I was simply not good at it.
I tried it a few times and got caught but thank God the invigilators weren't strict. They allowed me to go without an hassel. But everytime I tried I got caught so I decided to just stop completely, guess I wasn't built to cheat.
The exams were finally over after two weeks and we were done with the first semester all that remained was for us to see our results. I wasn't hoping for anything good but let us wait and see.
I would like you to take a look at my sponsor, aren't they the best? You too can become one.
So that is the second part of this series and of course there will be more, I hope you are learning one or two things from my experience?
Till next time and once again Happy Holidays.
Nigerian Christmas
Christmas means different things to different people. It could mean a time for a massive exaggerated celebration and display of wealth and affluence or it could be a time of sober reflection for some. The fact that this was the time Jesus was born into the world to save all of us from our sins. While for another set of people it is just another day in the 365 days of the year, nothing special about it.
However the day is to you, it still means something. Since Christmas is close to the end year the celebration goes together. All over the world people celebrate whether they are christians or not, it doesn't really matter to them. It is just a time to celebrate with friends and family, to celebrate the achievements made during the year and also to spend some time with family.
There is a lot of fun fare about it in the US, the whole Santa Claus thingy. It is at this time of the year that you hear a lot of Christmas songs and jingles. Most businesses putting up decorations for the season with the most important being the Christmas trees.
Also, a lot of children start to write down what they want for Christmas thinking it is Santa Claus that is going to get it for them not knowing that it would be their parents. Most parents also carry their children to go and see him or as we fondly call him in my country, Father Christmas. They sit on his lap and tell him what they want for the season and also take a picture with him after he has given them their presents.
This time is full with a lot of fan fare. Celebrities release songs about Christmas, love, sharing and what they think the season means to them. Talkshows host and also comedians make jokes and skits about Christmas trying to make their audience smile and laugh. All in all it's a time to have fun and make merry.
In my country, it is a whole different ball game. It is like a party competition, who can out do the other person or who can show he/she has money.
Here, we like parties more than anything else and it now becomes more prominent towards the end of the year. This is the time when most market men and women make the most sales. A lot of them become millionaires just during this period. People buy provisions in large quantities such as rice, yam, tomato, pepper, chicken, goat meat and fish for the parties they want to throw. Nobody will want to carry last.
Some might even rent event centers for their parties or they can get canopies and do it on an open field. They then go to invite almost everybody that they know. From their workplace to their neighborhood and even church, everyone is invited that is if you're on good terms with the people or person organizing it.
The morning of Christmas is the most busy morning of any day of the year especially if you are organizing a party. The kitchen is even more noisy than a factory because of the number of things that will be going on there. From the soups to the jollof rice and then the frying of the chicken (I really pity the person that is going to remove the feather of the chicken). Not forgetting the drinks and then there is the cake and fruit salad. It is really a crazy place.
I really commend our mothers and also the last borns, we do most if not all of the work. From preparing the food to preparing the house for the guests and then serving and attending to them, it is not easy. I have heard what a lot of children go through, the amount of chores they have to do. Some even go from house to house in their neighborhood giving people food. But all of this is not in vain as some kindhearted people give them money and it could be a lot at times so that makes the whole stress worth it.
I cannot forget the dishes. At the end of the day, it is like a mountain in the basin. The washing of plates is like an exercise on its own, the amount of time spent there seems like eternity. The tasks is usually given to the person that did not do any chores that day. You can call it a sort of punishment.
But then all this celebration makes you think that isn't this vanity. Isn't this just a display of wealth you think .That we are just celebrating and not even thinking about the main reason for the season. I think we need to change in this regard.
Even in all of this, I can say that Christmas is fun. You get to see family and friends that you haven't seen in a long time. You get to talk and remember the good times. You also get to meet new people and also make new friends.
For my own family, it is always a time of celebration. We did not make it an elaborate celebration this year, it was just something simple. I will tell you guys more about it later on.
I recently got a new sponsor and my old sponsor @DocLayla just renewed her sponsorship, thank you very much.
I have been busy recently and the festivities just made it worse. I will try to be more active here and engage more articles, you will see more of me.
Till next time and happy holidays.
Gratitude
Gratitude simply means showing appreciation for what a person has done for you. It is a virtue and not everyone has it.
Not everyone is blessed to have this important virtue as they did not cultivate it or make it an habit and this is either quite unfortunate.
We all have been stuck in one situation or another that wasn't nice at all and we needed help from family, friends or even a total stranger. Someone came through for us no matter the situation or how uncomfortable it might have been for the person. The person helped us and was literally our savior. The only right thing to do is to show appreciation in one way or another.
Like they always say it pays to be grateful. When we thank someone for helping us, it shows that we are not ungrateful human beings and we truly care about the person or what the person has done for us. This will encourage the person to help us another time whenever we may get stuck.
Ungrateful people or as I would rather call them, ingrates are one of the most disliked people on the planet. The fact that they cannot not even say thank you or make a simple gesture really pisses a lot of people off.
If you are that kind of person it doesn't pay you at all. Not only does it limit the number of people that can or want to help you, it also makes people to dislike or detest you because they might see you as proud and being bigger than everyone. This puts you at a disadvantage because no one wants to be your friend.
Grateful people are one of the most blessed people on the planet as everyone wants to be around them. They are loved in all tribes and cultures. This is because they understand what it feels like. They know what it feels like to sacrifice your time, presence and resources just to help people out. They know that this isn't easy and thus show gratitude.
My awesome sponsors, thanks for the support.
Some might be showing this from a place of genuine intentions while others may not. The one's that aren't genuine about will soon be caught and their intentions will be brought out for the public to know. This is always embarrassing for them as everyone will know that they were living a façade and that wasn't their true self.
We all must show gratitude whether we like it or not and we must make it an habit, part of our lives. This leads to me remember a story I once heard.
There was a certain man who needed help from his friend for a place to stay. He was going for a job interview outside of town and he needed somewhere to stay. It was only his friend that he knew was living in that town and so he asked his friend for help. His friend knowing him since way back in the university decided to help him because he remembered the good times.
He was welcomed into his home and he really made himself feel at home and by that I mean the man over stepped his boundaries. He turned his friend room upside down and did whatever he liked because he thought his friend wouldn't mind because they go way back. That wasn't even enough, as the saying goes familiarity breeds contempt. He didn't even thank his friend for allowing him to stay over as he felt entitled to it. His friend didn't even talk, he just ignored it all.
Few months later, he had another job interview in that same town. He didn't even bother calling his friend that he was coming over as he expected him to open his doors regardless. When he got to the gate he knocked and kept knocking but no body answered. He called his friend but he did not pick up meanwhile his friend was in the house watching him from the windows. The man was visibly upset and angry wondering why his friend wouldn't open the gate for him. He left the place many hours later frustrated and tired. The friend meanwhile was laughing inside the house. That serves him right he said to himself.
This story just goes to show that showing appreciation or gratitude for what people do for you is important for you to have any future help from them. It also prevents you from being a laughing stock.
Thank you for reading.
This wasn't what I planned to write but I've been busy all day and I had to quickly pen something down so I hope it suffice. Also, it is an important topic for us to discuss as the society is changing and more people are having an entitlement mentality. I hope things change starting with this article.
Till next time and Merry Christmas in advance.
First Year University Experience
Like the title says this is an article about my first year in college or should I say university. Whatever you call it, I'm here to recount my experience, issues and lessons.
I think I resumed on the 13th of June this year. We had started classes earlier in the year around March but those were online classes. We did that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The first semester was drawing to an end and it would soon be time for exams. So we had to resume physically and we were giving four extra weeks for lectures and to acclimatize in the new environment.
Settling down wasn't easy and the fact that we started lectures on the first day didn't make matters any better. I remembered I didn't go to school on the first day even though there were rumors that we were going to start lectures immediately. I didn't believe it and even if it was true I didn't miss anything by just skipping a class or so I thought. The lecturer surprised all of us by giving the whole class a surprise test. We were all shocked.
His reason was that he has been teaching us online through out the semester and he just wanted to know if we were listening in his class. Most of us did not attend the class talk-less of paying attention. So we were surprised when he told us to tear a sheet of paper. As you will all guess most of us didn't do well and he ended up not using the test to grade us. What a waste of time.
I ended up going to school the next day, my first day in University. My father was really angry with me for missing the lecture of yesterday but I couldn't care less. We just had a single lecture that day because the other lecture we were supposed to have got cancelled because the lecturer wanted us to settle down.
After that I went to my Hall of residence to go and start processing my accommodation. I was going to do a lot of registration. They were asking me to bring things and even do things that weren't relevant. I am going to give you a very important piece of advise, always carry as many passport photographs with you as possible. You are going to need it.
I wasn't going to possibly finish that kind of registration that day and it took me 3 days to finish and then a week just to be able to move in. After that I had to go to my department for departmental registration. They really frustrated my life there.
The secretary was asking me to provide documents that I didn't know even existed. I was like what is all this rubbish. I had to go looking for them and this really took a lot out of my time and resources. Another word of advise, always make sure that the documents you need are ready and available to avoid any form of embarrassment.
Also make sure you negotiate with sellers because they will definitely increase their prices just to cheat naive students.
When I was finally done with both the departmental and Hall registration, I then had to go and register for the courses I was offering. My class rep wasn't there to assist me so I had to do it all by myself. I went to each of the departments one by one and had to make the HOD sign in front of the course. Most of the time they didn't sign it that same thus delaying me. I had to go back there the next day hoping that it had been signed. If I was luck it was.
This whole process left me physically, mentally and emotionally drained and I was tired of it all. In the midst of all this I had classes, practicals and test. I just had to find a way to juggle everything together and it just wasn't working. University life isn't just how they portray it in the movies. It isn't all fun and games and I learnt that first hand. If only someone had told me about all of this and then prepared me.
The four weeks were almost over and exams were fast approaching. I wasn't prepared at all and I had just recently moved into the hostel, just starting to adjust. I had to do something quick and fast to save the situation and stop me from failing my first semester exams.
I just got a new sponsors in the person of @Jehoshaphat and I will like to specially thank him for this rare opportunity. I would not let you down.
I think I will turn this into a series as I have a lot to write about. I've really seen a lot (pepper).
Till next time and Merry Christmas in advance. I'm starting to feel the season in the air or is it the dust?
Who owns the Song
So my day was normal and just there until I heard the latest gist on social media. Mind you a lot of things goes on there so it will take a lot of controversy and drama for a particular story to stand out. It's a whole different world on social media especially Twitter.
Oh! I'm so sorry I didn't ask, how has your day been? I hope it hasn't been too stressful mine was ok just had to sort out one or two things in school. I just want to say that you should keep pushing and not give up, you can definitely achieve whatever you set your mind to.
So back to the trending gist. The story contains three main characters and a subordinate character. One is an upcoming artist (from the trenches), the other is an established dancer turned music producer, another is a very popular musician who is from the street and the last one is a very popular man in the street or to put it plainly the trenches. I can't mention their names but you should be able to follow me.
So the upcoming artist, established artist and the dancer released a song together that turned out to be a hit all over the country (surprisingly because I don't see anything special in the song). Now the dancer took the credit as the owner of the song and the other two acts are the featuring artist. Also he took the lion share of the proceeds from the song as expected. You will expect it to end there but it didn't, there was more going on in the background.
Surprisingly or should I say unsurprising the upcoming artist had a problem with that arrangement. He had an issue with the fact that he wasn't the lead artist and he was even more angry that he was put as a supporting act. The dancer put himself as the lead act while the other two as featuring artist thus collecting the lion share from the proceeds of the song especially from online streaming platforms.
He was also annoyed with the fact that he was invited for a show and a very popular artist sprayed him money while the dancer picked it for him. When he was done and asked for the money he was given $600 out of $3000. He felt extremely cheated and was left disgruntled.
He made the mistake of complaining on social media which I would say wasn't a smart move. He made a video explaining how he was cheated from his own song and then issued threats towards the dancer. This really caused a lot of rancor on the internet especially on Twitter.
A lot of people had very different opinions on the matter. Some were of the opinion that he wasn't properly treated and that he was also cheated from the earnings of the song. They agreed with him that he was supposed to earn more and be the lead artist of the song and that the dancer should return all the money down to a single cent that he was denied of. They were like that's how up coming artist in the music industry are cheated.
The other divide were of the opinion that he was being very ungrateful. They were like he was coming from the trenches and that he should show at least an atom of respect and appreciation to the person that brought him to limelight. Some also said that that's how this new artist behave when they taste the spotlight, they do not remember the people that brought them up and they let the money enter their head. He should at least show some appreciation by giving him an amount from the money he earned.
The popular man that helped him wasn't having any of it and was very disappointed with him. He was deeply pissed off and sent him packing from his mansion back to the streets. He was like he couldn't be taking care of his mental health and career at the same time, it was too much for him to handle.
No matter how you look at it both sides are to blame. They had their roles in the mess that resulted and the situation could have been resolved behind the curtain. There was no need for them washing their dirty linen in the public thus disgracing themselves.
This just goes to show you the happenings in the music industry. I personally do not care about the issue and it is just amusing to me. Just like any other celebrity drama, with time it will die down and people will probably forget that it ever happened.
Let me appreciate my one and only sponsor, thank you for the continual support.
Till next time or another social media drama which will probably be soon.
Barca
Before I start my article, I just want to say that all FC Barcelona fans are going through a lot right now and we should send them some BCH. That was just a joke though. There are a lot of things I could possibly say about this club but where will I start from, maybe from the beginning of our problems.
If you haven't guessed by now that I'm a Barcelona fan well I am and if you think I am about to start ranting about the club well you wouldn't be wrong. Let me start from the beginning.
It all started when Neymar left the club for PSG in a big money move. The highest amount of money paid for a player in a transfer at least for now was paid. That was the beginning of our problems. We all know how that move turned out. The player hasn't particularly shined in the club and he has only provided average performances when he is not injured. But I'm not here to talk about that.
After he left the club Barcelona had to replace him even though I don't think it was necessary. They made a panic buy and went to buy an injury prone player from Dortmund. I can say that we paid a very exaggerated amount for a player like that. The move was a mistake from the onset and I knew it. It was so bad he was injured when we bought him like that sign wasn't enough.
Then the following year we paid a large sum of money for a player who was quality but it was too much. The price was huge because of the already over inflated market. It was a good buy but we were all shocked by how the move turned out. His first season was bang average. We thought that he would improve but he didn't and he even got a season ending injury.
We decided to cut our losses and loan him out not knowing that karma was coming back to hunt us. Barca met him in the champions league and he scored one of the goals that sent us out of the competition. It was an embarrassing defeat. At the end of the season he came back but got injured again and since his been back, he has been a shadow of his old self. He was never the player we bought from Liverpool again.
The club made another buy in 2019, a player from Atletico Madrid. It was an okay buy for a player his quality even though the transfer fee was on the high side. I wouldn't say that his time at the club was a total flop, I would just say that it was a average. We expected something from him especially after our number 9 had left but he failed to deliver. He never stepped up and when he did it didn't really matter.
We loaned him out at the beginning of this current season back to his former club and even brought in a more useless player.
All in all, this club had really made some dumbfounding transfers. Like you will wonder who approved this transfers. I just mentioned the big money moves but there are numerous others. Some that weren't even necessary and a waste of money. This just highlights the club recent transfer policy. Spend over bloated amounts of money on players and give them huge amounts of money ad salary.
You just look at the salary of some of the players especially the ones underperforming and you are just amazed. Average players collecting salaries that they can't even possibly collect in the Premier League. The fact that they make this contracts last long periods of time doesn't help matters.
But luck hasn't been on the club side too. Who would have known that most of this players who flop. I would just say that the people who are in charge of the club transfers and the club medical services are to blame for the failed transfers and the recurring injuries. Also don't let me forget to mention the club former president. That man is the worst Barca president in history. He made some questionable financial decisions and thank goodness he is finally getting to answer for it.
There are a lot that I can write and I will still write about the problems with the club but that's an article for another day. I just hope things get better because they are looking like it.
My wonderful sponsor. I would really like any form of encouragement.
My day too was interesting and I think I might write an article on it.
Till next time.
I'm Back (again)
Hello everyone sorry that I'm just writing in a long while. I'm not feeling too well, this Harmattan season is telling on me. Dust everywhere. I'm literally inhaling dust. It's not be easy.
Also, I've been going through a lot in school. Even though my exams are over I still have a number of things to do. I have to sort out my accomodations issues and also clearance.
During the course of the week the result of one of the paper that I wrote was released and I was not impressed. I knew immediately when I saw it that it wasn't my score, I doubt if they even marked my script at all but that an article for another day. All in all I've been busy with one or two things and then I became sick.
But that doesn't mean I haven't been reading articles on read cash. If anything I've been reading more. I make sure I leave a like and comment on any article that I visit. I'm sure some of you must have noticed me. Some of the articles that I read are really insightful, I learn new things anytime I come here.
Recently what I've been noticing is that people have been writing in one competition or the other. From Christmas challenge to the BCH myth busting challenge. Thanks to @Abhay I've become acquainted with both challenges. I have seen some really interesting write up especially from him.
Some are writing because they want to win it while for some others, it's just fun. I'm not participating in it because for one I don't know much about cryptocurrency and the other I'm not really an excellent writer so I just write what I can here and hopefully someone can notice me.
Readcash is a really nice place to be and I've mostly been active there but I don't know what is wrong with noise cash. It has been a while I earned anything there and I'm really active. I hope that the problem is fixed soon enough so that I can go back there.
Let me get off the internet for a while and talk about the environment. To be honest no one likes this Harmattan season, like why is everywhere so dusty. I think it's worse now because of climate change. I can literally feel myself inhaling dust and my body is reacting to it well at all.
It's so cold, hot and dry at the same time. How is that even possible? I seriously can't wait for it to be over, I would not miss it at all. Like how can I be falling sick when I'm not AA (don't worry only people from where I'm from can understand that statement).
The only good thing about this season is Christmas and I'm eagerly anticipating it. It is going to be so fun. So much to eat and drink and I get to see most of my family members again and it would be good to be back home. Oh how much have missed home, I wonder when last I ate good food. I can't even remember.
Let's take time to appreciate my sponsors
Well, that's all for now and I'll try my best to keep on writing articles. It's not easy especially now that I am not feeling too well but I'm a man and I have to keep on pushing.
Till next time.
I'm Back (from wherever I came from)
It feels good to be back here on read cash, I can tell you that for free. Oh how I've missed you guys so much. Your articles and exceptional (also hilarious comments) really makes my day and keeps me going. I've been unavoidable absent due to reasons beyond my control. I has exams and other personal issues I was going through that time but thank God I pulled true.
I finished my exams with mixed feelings. I wrote some well and others not so well but all in all I'm hoping for the best because I literally put myself through hell all through that period. I had countless sleepless nights, attempted lots of quizzes and practice questions, I literally buried my whole body in my books. It even affected my relationship with my friends and girlfriend but in the end I hope it was worth it.
Sorry that it took me that long to explain myself but I just had to do that to clear any doubt. I absolutely love this place and anytime that I'm absent I have to explain why especially if it was for a long period of time (which this certainly was).
While I was away, I met new people and also strengthened the existing relationship that I had with some people. While for some, we grew apart unfortunately. This period really made me to think a lot about certain things. I had a rethink about certain relationships that I have and how it's better that certain people aren't in my life. I know this may sound toxic but it is a difficult thing for me to do to retain my mental health or should I say sanity.
But I wouldn't be fair towards myself if I didn't mention that while I was away I was still active on noise cash and posted regularly on the platform. I commented and liked certain posts especially the ones on Food Trip. That channel is really interesting and I think you guys should check it out.
While my activity on read cash wasn't really noticeable I liked a few articles and even commented on fewer ones just because there wasn't enough time.
One thing that has certainly changed in me after this exam period is my sleep pattern, I don't think it can ever be normal again. This school has really damaged me physically, mentally and not forgetting financially. Truly school is not for the weak.
I know it doesn't get easier from here infact it gets harder and tougher and I just have to adjust or should I say adapt to survive. I have to subject my mind and body to training all for the greater good because I certainly want to finish with good grades at the end of the session.
Well that is the summary of why I haven't been around and I hope I've been able to explain myself well enough. So get ready to see more of me.
I would like to appreciate my sponsors and thank them for their continual support.
I would also appreciate any form of encouragement.
Till next time.
My Journey into Crypto
Hello everyone, I know this is the first time that I'm writing an article on read cash but please forgive me. I've been busy with school work and exams are too tell you the truth school hasn't been easy. I just hope all my efforts will not be in vain.
But now I'm back and ready to give you all great content and like the title says, I'm here to tell you about my journey into Crypto.
Who would have thought that I will be involved in crypto. If you had told me this two years ago, I would have probably said that you have lost your mind. I never really respected people who made their money from the internet or digital world, I always thought of them being lazy and not willing to work and make money the old traditional way. To put it simply, I despised them.
But then upon entering the University my perspective on then started to change. I realized that I had a myopic view of the world. The world was evolving and times were changing, new avenues were being opened to make money from. Forex, Affiliate Marketing and Cryptocurrency were few of the many that were available.
I expressed interest and my good friends introduced me into Cryptocurrency but not directly. They told me about read cash and noise cash and how I can make money by writing on this platforms. I liked writing and I also liked money so it was a win win situation for me. Then they told me that I'll be paid in BCH. I was like what's that?
They explained that it was a coin just like Bitcoin and Ethereum and that the value was rising steadily. I was cool with that and started writing. I made a reasonable amount from both platforms and the cash really came handy when I was stuck in a financial quagmire.
Then I was told that I could trade in other coins, buy coins and sell coins for paper money. I was introduced into Airdrops and tokens. I was also taught about wallets, the different types, their disadvantages and advantages and also how to choose the wallet that best suits you. I also learnt about the Blockchain. Of how it is so large and secure, how it is a collection of wallets. It is so complex and intricate
I also got to know that transactions are secure, private and almost non traceable. Then their are gas fees just like the way there are bank charges and it varies for different wallets.
I know that there is still more to learn in the crypto market and I am truly ready to learn. It is so vast and interesting, I wish it could be taught in University in my country but my country dislikes it as it cannot control it like normal money. This is one of the greatest advantage of crypto. The people have control over their own money which is a form of financial freedom.
I really appreciate my friends for this opportunity, you've greatly added to my life.
I would like to appreciate my sponsor for their continued support.
Till next time.
Toxic Relationship
I am sure that we have heard this before and we've probably heard it a lot particularly from people who are in a romantic relationship with the wrong partner. Some people use it rightly and also at times wrongly. What we do know is that it is never good for the people who are in those kind of relationship.
Simply put, a toxic relationship is an abusive relationship. It doesn't always mean that one partner is physically abusing the other but they are emotionally, psychological, mentally and even financially manipulating the other. We should bear in mind that there are different forms of physical abuse and one isn't greater or should I say better than the other. They are all wrong and should be condemned by everyone.
What I just gave you was a layman definition. There are different meanings one deeper than the other and looking at it from a different angle but still with the same conclusion, it involves manipulation.
In my whole life I have seen my fair share of toxic relationship and some of the people who were or still are in it are my friends and I always ask them this question "why are you in this relationship"? They all have different replies but none of them is sufficient. Let me give you some of their answers.
My partner has money, not any kind of money but crazy money. A large number of them are in the relationship because of what they can get from their partner. Let me use where I stay for an example. Most of the young girls are dating internet fraudster or as they are more commonly called 'yahoo boys'. Majority of them are in the relationship not because they love him (they couldn't care less about him) but because of the money they get from being in the relationship.
They are subject to abuse by their boyfriends since they too know that all they want is money. I have seen them beat them, insult them and even mess up their minds. They might get the money but they would have lost their dignity. It is like collecting a loan of ten dollars and you end up paying ten million dollars, it just isn't worth it.
Also some of them come from broken homes and families. Their parents are no longer together, either they are separated or divorced. As such they do not know what love is and how it feels like to be cared for, that's why they end up in the wrong relationship because their partner deceived them or they were too naive.
The kind of parents they have also plays a major factor. Really, some people are unlucky to have the kind of parents they have. That is why not all adults are capable of raising children. Some of them are broken and as such they cannot produce anything good, when you now bring a child into it the situation becomes a whole lot worse.
Children growing up with those kind of parents end up choosing a partner just like their parents since that's what they've known all of their lives. This is really sad and heartbreaking because parents play a major role in the kind of adult their children turn out into.
It is a fact that people who are in toxic relationships are better off without it and are traumatized after the experience. They come out with scars not necessarily physical ones but also emotional ones and they no longer believe in love. They are scared and don't trust anyone again. It will be difficult for them to enter any relationship again.
I personally know of people who have had the experience and have vowed never to let their guard down again, this will definitely affect any relationship they might have in the future.
Let me give you my honest advice, if you are in a toxic relationship leave while you still can or should I say while you are still alive. It is never too late. Your future self will thank you. Protect your mental health and life. The person doesn't love, he/she is just using you. Don't say that you can control him, that he might be violent with everyone but with you he is calm. That is a lie and you are only deceiving yourself. You are not different from any other person. Be wise.
I just wanted to share my thoughts on this topic with you guys because I've been seeing a lot going on around me especially here on campus. You guys should stay safe there is a lot of crazy things happening (no pun intended)
I would like to appreciate my sponsor. Thank you
So sorry I haven't posted in a while, I will fix that. Been busy lately and yesterday was an extraordinary busy day but don't worry I am always here to give you guys great content.
Another time.
If Superhero Movies were a Reality
Anytime a new superhero movie is released into the cinema or any streaming platform, my brother always ask me this question. What if this happens in real life? And my reply to him is always thank God it doesn't.
A lot of things go on in movies that are very distant from reality. From the technology, to the characters, to the fights and the reaction of people in the movie after a fight that has destroyed hundreds of properties and taken thousands of lives has occurred. I think we need to discuss some of this things.
Firstly, I am sure humanity will cut cost and instead opt for a life where we wouldn't want/need a superhero. I am sure you are outraged now but calm down let me explain myself. In my honest opinion superheroes cause my more damage when they are around than when they aren't even though they do not cause the damage personally.
Their presence in a particular place has already caused the place to be a target to bad guys. The bad guys do not care about how they get to them or the number of people that have to die before they reach them. To them, the ends justify the means. So they are willing to go through any length so as to achieve this goal. If the superhero isn't in that particular place, there wouldn't be any need to attack it as it would be pointless and a waste of time. This singular act alone saves the government billions in tax payers money and most importantly saves lives. In short no superhero beside me means I get to live to see another day.
Secondly, their fighting scenes. I know they are meant to make it look all cool and that but they should take it easy, it's getting to unrealistic. I just finished watching a recently released superhero movie (do not want to mention the name) and I am thoroughly disappointed with the fight scenes. The speed at which the characters move when fighting is just beyond me and they expect us to believe they are humans. Like they literally suspend themselves for a second in the air and that isn't their super power (if they have any). Also fights don't take that long in real life because there is something called exhaustion. Most people if not all would get tired if they fight the same length in the movies.
Superheroes are guilty of this especially. They fight destroying buildings unnecessary, like would it kill you to take the fight away from the city and go maybe somewhere like a desert or Savana. I really pity the mayors of those cities.
The actions and inactions of superheroes have devastating effects not just in their life but also in the lives of the people they've sworn to protect. There are countless illustrations that I could mention but I would leave you to go and decided which one you want to see.
The way they play out the effects of this action in films is very different from what would happen in reality. Let's take for example of half of the world's population disappeared with the snap of a finger. Society as we know it will disintegrate. There is a high probability that civilization will be set back by a couple of hundreds of years. Sticks and stones here we come. Economies will collapse, militaries, governments and educational systems would not be able to handle the shock and therefore stop functioning. The world wouldn't be the same as it once was.
Superheroes do good things and help the society but their presence is too much of a danger to us. I think we would be better off without them because I do not think that if anything in the movies happened in reality currently, we would be able to handle it. No after the global pandemic and the political tension between countries. We wouldn't be able to come back after that.
Do not hate me for saying all that. I said it because we already have enough people protecting us. The military, police and secret service are all up to the task when well equipped with the right equipments. We don't need someone with so much power defending us. There is only so much power someone can have before they become corrupted by it.
But with all of what I just said I don't think any of it is happening soon, we still have a long way to go in terms of technology and civilization. So, let us take solace in that we still have a long way to go before any of that happens.
P.S. I still love superhero movies. I am a big D.C. fan and Batman is my favorite superhero.
Let me give a shout out to my sponsor, thank you very much for the encouragement and support.
It is still the same old me. Another time.
Young Love
Most people say that your first love or relationship teaches you a lot (that's if you learnt anything from it). That statement holds value to some point.
Young Love can be described as your first time of feeling a strong affection towards someone. Some call it love or lust but you can call it whatever you want. All teenagers have felt this kind of feeling before. The feeling you get when you see that girl, when she smiles especially at you. Her eyes, the look she gives you when she is angry. You feel head over heels for him or her.
The whole experience teaches us a lesson both in the easy way and the hard way. Some of us stupidly fall in love and do foolish things for the ones we love and most times we regret it when we look in retrospect. That is why I always say that we are foolishly in love at that point in time.
Even at that, our first love is probably our truest form of love. When we genuinely care and love the person, no ulterior motives at all.
All in all we learn lessons both good and bad from this experience but it is important that we all go through this. It is part of life and a form of passage of rite into the relationship world. To tell you the truth you will need the knowledge. To know the kind of person to trust, suspect, give your all too and who truly cares, respects and loves you.
The Experience
There was this girl that I had a crush on in secondary school. Her name is Jessica. She was very pretty, dark-skinned or was it ebony and was blessed in every aspect if you know what I mean. We became close friends in our final year even though we knew each other since kindergarten.
I had feelings for her for a long time but didn't have the courage to tell her. My friends said that I should stop being a coward and tell her. That the worst thing that could happen was that she would say no and I wouldn't die. Still I didn't do it.
I knew other guys in my class liked her and some of them were already making moves but she kept rebuffing them. I prayed every night for her to keep saying no but I didn't know for how long it was going to continue because she was already showing some of them greenlight. I knew that if I didn't shoot my shot now, it would be too late.
I told my friends about my plan to ask her out and they gave me some advice, some being useful and others being downright crazy. I took some of them in and threw majority of it out. They weren't going to put me in trouble in my young age.
I went to the local mall to go shopping for the gifts that I'll give her when I ask her out. I got her a diamond necklace, a box of chocolate, a pair of earrings and lip gloss. I asked my sister for things to buy and she suggested those not after forcing me to tell her who I was buying all this for. I told her on the condition that she wouldn't tell our parents.
It was on a Friday afternoon after school that I told her. I called her out after our last class away from her friends, took her to the back of the class and told her I wanted to tell her something important. She already saw the gift bag in my hand and was getting suspicious. She asked me smiling mischievously who that was for and I told her it was for her. She was surprised. I then confessed my feelings towards her and told her that I've been crushing on her for a long time. I toasted her until she was blushing from cheek to cheek and then asked her to be my girlfriend. That is when I received the shock of my life.
She told me that she was already seeing someone and that I was too late. I asked her when this happened and she told me that the guy asked her out just the day before. I then asked for who he was and she said it was my best friend Daniel. How could Daniel betray me like this? Just because I was delaying to ask her out he decided to go behind my back and date her. What a friend indeed.
My relationship with Jessica and Daniel broke down shortly after that incidence and I was happy when I heard that they broke up. That serves them right. "You don't treat your friends like that and get away with it" I thought.
I learnt a lot of lessons from this experience both good and bad. Also I think that's one of the reasons my future relationships haven't ended well. I haven't been able to trust any woman after that experience. Hopefully one day I will get over it and move on.
I would like to appreciate my sponsor for the support.
Another time, maybe another experience.
The H.P. Incidence
For those who don't know, the code name H.P. on campus stands for Hot plate.
My school is one of the 'special' ones out there. What I mean by that is they still don't allow hot plate, electric stove or even gas cylinders in the hall of residence. They expect us to be cooking with kerosene stove, can you imagine? In this time and age, so much for first and best.
Almost all students complain about this. It isn't convenient to be cooking with a stove especially with the rising cost of kerosene. The price of kerosene increased by almost a 100% in this year alone. The fact that they expect students to bear this cost is still beyond me. This and coupled with the fact that they allow marketers within the school to sell it at whatever price they desire. No form of regulation at all.
Also, stoves are not an efficient form of heat generation as it takes time to cook food. This waste students time as they could be doing a lot of productive things. Even when done and they put out the fire, the smoke fills up the whole room and the smell is choking. No one can literally stay in the room when this occurs. The gas is very poisonous and will surely affect students lungs. Also it affects the atmosphere thus contributing to climate change (not like the school cares about it). All in all cooking with kerosene stove is bad, the world has moved and as such the school management should follow likewise. Even the roadside food vendors use gas cookers.
I hope they listen because they have little or no regard for the plight of students.
The Incidence
I said all of this or should I say ranted because of my experience. Hot plate is illegal but I wasn't going to spend all my money buying kerosene and I wasn't going to be choked to death by the smell of carbon monoxide.
I got the H.P. two days before it was seized. That was really painful. I blame myself because I wasn't sharp enough. I let my guard down. The H.P. was particularly efficient for it size and it was really good.
The man must have had someone watching me or he must have been monitoring me himself because how he caught me is still bugging me till today. He came knocking on my door one night all of a sudden. I was cooking with it and he must have perceived the smell of my delicious food. He claimed that he knew what I was up to and that I should open the door to my room at once.
I panicked and delayed for at least a minute so that he would think that there was nobody in the room but he didn't fall for it. He kept knocking and threatening me until I had to open the door before he knocks it down. He took it and started threatening me and all but I knew he couldn't carry out those threat if did not want to lose his job. He should just carry it and go away.
I couldn't sleep that night because I didn't know what to tell my parents, they still don't know.
Don't they know that it isn't convenient to be cooking with stove? Most students use hot plate because it is easier, faster and doesn't generate a gas that can kill you and by the way almost all students use hot plate and they know about it, they are just being wicked.
I'm still trying to recover because I can't let this get to me. Thank you for reading my rant, don't worry there is still more to come.
If you want to sponsor me here is the sponsorship block.
Another time.
About Myself
Hey, I am here to tell you one or two things about myself. I hope you like me, who knows we might share one or two things in common.
My childhood was regular, nothing really special about it. I wasn't really an outdoor person and I stayed inside most of the time burying my head in books. My father and sisters always told me that there is more to this life than what's in the books I read. That I should go outside and make friends, I should go and experience the world myself.
I never listened to them because I was a bit socially awkward. I never talked outside and people thought I was weird because of the. Like what was I supposed to do when there was nothing to talk about. I only talk when I need to and I don't see anything wrong with that.
My teenage years were practically the same. I only had three friends and few acquittance. We still keep in touch even though we are far apart, that's why I call them friends. They can always be there when you need them.
I really value friendship and I don't just call anybody my friend. You have to prove to me that you are worthy to be called that. Until then you are just somebody that I know.
I really opened up during my university days. Why wouldn't I? The University is a very open place and you will meet different people from various backgrounds, you can't but just open up.
This is were I have seen some of the best people in my life, people that I've actually opened me up even with how stuck up I am. People that have added positively to my life. Thank God I found them.
I've also seen terrible people. The kind that makes you wonder where they were raised or if it was a responsible adult that trained them. I have found 'special' ways to avoid those kind of people. They are bad company.
All in all, I can say that I am a calm reserved person who doesn't talk a lot. I value relationships and also good friends and most importantly, I value honest.
So, that's me.
I would love your encouragement and support to keep writing.
Another time.
