This Thing We Call Friendship ll

There’s a but to my last post.
Friendship can be the best thing that ever happens to a person.
Ever heard of “friends turned family”?
That’s the kind of friendship I’m talking about—the one that feels like home.

It teaches you, cares for you, holds you above the waters, contributes massively to your growth, and shapes you into becoming the best version of yourself. It’s synonymous with love.

You must be able to relate to this, because it’s the true form of friendship that everyone must have encountered at some point in their lives.
It’s something so ordinary. Something so beautiful.

Just so you know, it’s not friendship when it’s far from mutual. Even the smallest things count.

Friendship is like medicine—if you don’t take it, you’ll never get better.
Find yourself a friend who cherishes you like she does her family. (It could be a he too) 
Then watch yourself blossom like a sunflower—radiant and full of life.

What Speaking Up Has Cost Me

Image
I loved expressing myself. I enjoyed sharing my opinions. But I barely listened to people—barely heard their words. At the time, I just wanted to feel seen—to be heard. And I was. But never again. Not after what it’s taken from me. Oh, I lost everything—respect, confidence, trust, friends, peace. The moment I knew I’d never speak up again was when I lost my confidence. I know—I said I wouldn’t listen to people or let them shape me. But I did. I let them take my voice. Only then did they let me have my peace back. Only then did I stop crying myself to sleep. Only then did I stop hurting. And now, my smile is back. I’m learning to listen more. Learning to zip my mouth. Learning to stay away from people who make me want to express myself more than necessary. Sometimes, giving in might be the safer option. It could save you from being hauled down a hill. Who knows? Maybe it’ll help you become a better version of yourself. * * *  This is jus...

Why I Started This Blog (Even Though It Scares Me)

Ever started something so far out of your comfort zone it makes your heart race? If yes, you must understand how scared and uncertain I feel right now. If no, then watch me grow—and help yourself make a good choice. Hmph! Chaos. That’s the perfect description for what’s going on in my mind right now. Two voices in my head can’t seem to agree about me putting myself out here, but one’s probably winning, I guess. I’m here writing, aren’t I? Also, let me add this so you’ll have a better understanding of why I’m not scared—but I am. Writing isn’t something I see as hard work or a chore; it means so much more. It’s a part of me. A silent truth I can only express on paper. A part of me that no one knows (which obviously will soon change). But it’s actually scary to come out and expose this part of me. Honestly, it feels like being naked. But I’ll definitely find a way to clothe and nurture that part of me—expensively, carefully, like it deserves. So, this is me—doing my thing. I ...

Because You Thought I Forgot You.

This isn’t in any particular order of how much my friends mean to me or anything. It’s just a harmless appreciation — and definitely a “show-off” post. Argue with your keyboard. Okay, let’s talk about Cynthia before she starts complaining that I didn’t mention her first. 🙄😂 You see this one? She’s a character — but she’s my character. We just click, and the energy she brings is totally out of this world. She always lights up the room with that smile of hers💗. Yeah, that smile — the one that always screams “Get a toothpaste like mine” at every chance it gets. Girl, I love you and you already know that. But hey, who said there’s any harm in reminding you of my undying love for you?  Ah! Adedoyin!!!! My babe that shows her love in small, unexpected ways — the kind that remind me that what we share is real. Thank you for always reminding me how pretty my forehead is.😭😂❤️ Do I really need to say how much our friendship and you mean to me? Nah. Nah. We already know tha...
