FRIENSHIP: MY MEMOIR

A friend of mine sent me a text one day saying a coin is easy to earn but real friends are hard to find. The coin depreciates but a friend appreciates so when u find a real friend keep him  or her.

This is a memory I want to keep. It was a very delicate time of my life, was a time when I was shutting people out and was a time when I needed to make some certain decisions that will affect my future. They helped me out without even knowing and took the weight off my shoulders. They helped me feel great with whom I am as a person and helped me see hope that there is a better tomorrow. They deserve more than just this memoir so they will always be in my heart. I have other friends too, great friends, awesome friends and they all hold a special place in my heart.

Three guys one girl.
Azor( CEO learnTutor),
The one to be very blunt with you and tell u,“ ah ah why, it’s my destiny”. When you need anybody to encourage you and push you to bring out the best in you, he is the one. When you need someone to help you even when it is not convenient for him, he is the one. When you tell him you need a job he tells you create a job. Always pushes people to be their best. He has a good ♥ and a great spirit. A good friend to have.          

Benjamin (keengskeed CEO 360 music)           The one who said, “you know when you don’t wait for them to zone you and you zone yourself, I have brother zoned myself already”(lol so stop touching my hand). He is the one to show that he is wild so people get scared of him. He is the one to light up the room and make everybody laugh but underneath it all he has his fears too and he has a good heart. He is a good example of do not judge a book by its cover. You remember the $500 we want to get from YouTube to take to the beach to celebrate Christmas and the channel bag you promised it’s still hanging oh (lol) also remember what I always say that when u become well known I will always tell people that we use to drink garri together at jedidiah(i spoil show? 😂)          

Yinka (CEO putme academy).
When I first came into jedidiah he was the one who will care for me. Get the food and say i brought spoon for you, we will wait for you when you are done. When you call him and say yk buy this or that when you are coming, he will ask is that what you want, OK I will and he will get it. The one to enter into the computer and turn it upside down. Any issues You have with internet and computer, he will solve it for you. He is the quite one and the apostle amongst us. But I heard you like woman( no be me talk am, na Azor tell me oh 😁). He is calm a person and a great friend too.

Everybody seems to be doing something great for themselves but in it all, each one still have time to be each others backbone. That is what friends are for. You know that junction where we use to stop and gist for a few more minutes before departing and everybody takes their different route like we will not see each other the next day, I feel people would have noticed it so let’s change location (lol). Even with our individual differences, there was still unity. I am grateful we crossed part.

You all are welcomed to share your experiences too with friends. When you comment invite them to come read it. Make someone smile today it goes a long way.

OLAF (my precious animation friend).

Can I ever outgrow animation stories? Does it mean I am still a kid?. Why do I like the character olaf so much?…… You will Find out after reading.

It is tricky right……. Olaf is suppose to be a snow man but he likes  warm hugs.  I can’t picture why anybody will not like olaf especially if you like to give warm hugs. Olaf as a character is very interesting.
Olaf has so many good character but I will be progressing from his childish innocence because to me was what led to his other good attributes as a character.

Olaf has this childish innocence round about him that even when the reindeer wanted to eat his carrot nose he told the reindeer"i know you are trying to kiss my nose but I like you too".  Does it mean he was oblivious to the fact that the reindeer wanted to eat his nose (reindeers love carrot)? Ofcourse he knew . Then why did he give that response to the reindeer?.

Meeting olaf for the first time he talked about summer without knowing he will die when summer comes. He just rattled on and had his own thoughts of how to enjoy summer and then he sang (I love the song olaf sang about summer). Even when olaf knew he will melt he was still helping out to bring summer back with careless abandon. He was willing to sacrifice his life for the common good of everybody.

Olaf had his really funny moment but the one that really cracked me up was when olaf considered himself a love expert, can you Imagine that (lol). Olaf was also ignorant but not in a stupid way it was wonderful ignorance.  If there is any such word.

Olaf was protective of everybody even protected the reindeer that wanted to eat his nose but that singular act made them best of friends at the end of the show. That is why one of the sentences that captured my heart from the show is “only an act of true love can fall a frozen, heart”. Olaf persistence stay with the reindeer even with his nose at risk and showing him love let the reindeer become olaf friend. It is noteworthy that olaf loves his nose because to him it added to his beauty.

I could keep talking about olaf but I want to draw lessons from his character. To me frozen is not just a cartoon I learnt from the story but olaf’s character intrigued me more.

His childish innocence , protective ability, funny nature, love, wonderful ignorance, willingness to give up his life for the good of everybody, his care for the people around him and so on. As adult we can learn from olaf.

FAMILY.

I have always wanted to write on this topic but I wasn’t able to put the words together. Being in the right environment and in the mood of celebration, I feel happy to finally be able to hold my pen and write on this topic.

A family is said to be the smallest unit in the society but in the real sense of it, it is not. The bond,the love and the togetherness shared here is greater than the society as a whole.  I have not had time to sit and think or really notice how much my family means to me but I know better now after deciding this topic as a case study(smiles).  After going out and not seen them for a very long time I understand better. It is really true that distance makes the heart grow fonder.  After getting back from church on Sunday and everybody is at home I start to realise how happy I always am whenever I am with this particular set of people. Watching my parents smile and watching my siblings laugh and running around I realised how important it is for me to always want to see this.  I could keep watching the laughter and smiles everyday of my life.  I also noticed how important it is for me to be a part of the reason they are smiling and laughing.

As a family when we get angry at each other or even shout at each other, they don’t always last and the next minute we are playing together again. As a family we get each other’s back and fill in for each other’s short comings.

Till now I haven’t put much thoughts to  people I consider my true friends.  If u will agree with me you will also notice that people you consider your very good friends after a while you start to consider them a part of your family.  Either you consider them your brother or a sister. That is now considering them more than a friend.  This because having a family is very important to anybody.

 After all the hustle and seriousness attached to a year from the beginning which is January to the end December I bless God for the birth of Jesus and a date being fixed before the end of the year to celebrate.  So we all get to put the hustling and the seriousness aside and just be happy. Which means no more parents going to work and siblings going to school or me going back to go and finish my one year enslavement(lol). I know you are laughing back at me that it is just for a while but I bet you I am going to make the most of it and I bet you will do the same.

With the joy of the holidays in the air and the celebration of Christ in mind I know I will be getting and seeing a lot of laughter and smiles so I hope to watch and enjoy every moment of it and make a memory of it that will last me till the end of next year. I need it to carry me through the hustle and seriousness of next year(lol). I will try not to be too stingy and do an edited version of this topic which will be on how this holiday went with me, my family and friends.

From the song used in lion King 2 “we are more than we are, we are one family” and I also thank God for creating this unit called family.
