Nothing gladdens my heart than the remembrance of my youthful days
Yea, it is a great morning filled with the so much glory of the Almighty God and without any questioning, I know you all woke up quite well and an the right hand of life today hehehe... Even me too, I did wake up same.
Today, I'd like to share with you guys a little more about my youthful days and what it was like plus the things I really missed about it hahahaha...
Everyone undoubtedly has a humble beginning being a child until adulthood and before the said adulthood when the brain is said to be more developed and could take care of some if not all challenges it is faced with, we were once children with our feeble and rather too direct minds in our attitudes and our general ways of doing things that seem very much alike.
During my youthful days, I can remember vividly that I was always naked and bathed more in the rain than I'd love to bath in the bathroom but now I'm an adult, it doesn't entice me anymore as I have too many things to hide away from the eyes of every passersby, but as a child back in the days, it was full of fun and excitement then especially when Babatunde my childhood friend would always come to our house reminding me about the sudden change of weather condition that indicated IH wants to rain and at once, the both of us would eagerly be waiting to see it rain and once it starts, it's usually an obvious no point of return for the both if us as we will bath so much in it and at the end of it all, feel very refreshed from the cool natural water from the atmosphere.
After the rains are over or after we had been done bathing in the cool refreshing natural rai water, we'd then go straight into another round of play which we usually the hide and seek game.
It was a well placed game that we enjoyed so much as kids back then and we do it in such a way that everyone of us playing it would go into bidding while we allow just one person out of the whole of us to go searching out for the rest others who hide themselves in order to be sought out for and once the seeker persons finds anyone of the hidden persons, then the person who the seeker finds first would then start up from where the initial seeker who had found him or her had stopped to seek out another person from the pack if hidden persons including the former seeker as well.
This picture above is the house where we usually play our popular hide and seek game.
The amount of joy we do receive as kids doing all that is usually very much an untold one as most of the time, even the elderly ones are always happy seeing us engage ourselves in such a friendly and accident free children's game and it leaves a lot of our grannies in a laughing conditions that seems to help in adding more cuboid to their life span as that's what thy need to be doing everyday to endure a longer time in this world.
We were also into the habit of fetching some water from our local streams that were available at that time and never have we fetched water from such local streams without inviting everyone of us to join up with their gallons to fetch water for their own family usage even when it is very obvious that at that time, most of us do have enough water that ordinarily should have been enough to take car of the family's house chores, yet, we do find the joy to join up with the rest kids a land go straight up to the stream cos we've always never ever forgotten the gathering of ourselves as one for we like to move in packs just like wild dogs, gray wolves and even a pride of lions and a swam of bees hmmmmn, that's how important our togetherness was back then and everyone loved what they were usually seeing about us.
After fetching water from the stream, and back home, we'd share our food together with each other and after the eating are over, we'd stay together to spin a brief yarns before we all resign ourselves back to our various houses for a sleep.
In fact, most of the stories we told ourselves then were popularly a tale called "The tales of moonlight". and guess what, everyone really enjoyed it so much cos we most of the time, do have the pleasure of the very aged ones amongst us who told us these stories from their experiences of the events of the past when they were young and the animals behaviours back then.
It was indeed an enjoyable daily routine for the whole of us being kids and the next day, we all wake up for school and that we did almost at once and still manages to move in packs to our various schools and then waits for each other after the closing hour to all go home together in our collection as a group that other kids back then envied us having seen the unbreakable bonds that was in existence between us all.
We all grew up with same like mindset and till date, those our past and unforgettable memories as kids are still things we relish till date that we had to create a WhatsApp group where we do reach each other and still reminds ourselves of how much we bathed in the open rain without covering ourselves with wrappers and we all laughed very laud for the remembrance of what we did back then as kids still makes us laugh so much as the picture of Yemisola one of our friends from the group is showing when we all went for a night outing in a close by bar.
What we did back then just can't be replicated again no matter how interesting it was cos we are now adults that have a more developed brains to decide what ought to be done and what ought not to be done.
Above picture shows me chatting with our other group members right inside my barbing salon and right at that spot was when I agreed marrying Bimbo of which our wedding plans and date would soon be announced and pls remember you are always invited from all over the world pls.
To the glory of God, what we had started as a children's play has now turned out to becoming a more realistic thing as eight persons out of the entire group have decided to marry each other and their wedding dates well fixed of which I shall be present no doubts.
This below picture is that of Kehinde and Lolade who are also getting ready for marriage as well.
The rest of us who are still unmarried from the group will be the ones to do all the necessary committee of friends and men in suit on those said days when their marriage bells will ring hahaha...
I have also found the love of my life also from the group and her name is Bimbo and guess one very special thing about her? She's very very caring and beautiful and we are both happy having agreed to marry each other just like our other friends in the group did as well and I can say I'm the most happy person sharing this with you my rad.cash family members of the product of what real friendship should result in and I also do wish to invite you all to come for my own wedding ceremony as I hope I'd not be disappointed after placing this invite hehehe...
This above picture is that of Bimbo, the girl I want to marry from our group. Hope she's beautiful?
Good morning and do have a pleasant day ahead of you all.
