ME ON MAKING NEW FRIENDS

ME ON MAKING NEW FRIENDS.

I was alone and scared, 
Not sure of what to do next. 
It was a new place to me,
I didn't know anyone, or anywhere. 
I was shy and timid. 
I didn't know who to ask for directions. 
They all laughed at and mocked me. 
Scorning the very ground I walked on. 
I miss my old place. 
I had a voice then, 
An image. 
But then I thought to myself, 
What makes here different from my old place? 
The people here are as human as the ones there, 
And I am as much a stranger as I was back there.
I decided to break the chain,
Ease the negativity off of me. 
There was this girl I'd see ,she seemed to have the same problem as I.
"Hi. Can we be friends?"
She almost leaped for joy. 
I thought to myself, 
You'd probably never know how much your words can mean to someone, 
How it can save someone's life. 
As I linked my arm through hers, 
And we walked side by side, 
I felt invincible! 
And judging from the smirk on her face, 
She felt the same way too. 
There she was, 
My first new friend.

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
