As we advance in life, we tend to have experiences which of course some leaves us smiling while other experiences are just so..... should I say painful or sad? Whichever one they all fall under same category. I keep saying to myself no matter how have been hurt by people who I least expect, won't make me change from being that good and sweet soul but same time I won't forget the lesson learned so as to avoid the same mistake from repeating itself.
I think I should start with the sad I will never forget then end it with the happy ones something like tragic comedy.š
First on the list I will never forget was when I lend half of my life savings to a very good friend of mine. have never for once trust so much to the point of giving out a large amount of money but for this particular person i trusted him like my life depends on it. He came up with a good suggestion and even though I was scared but again I want to believe he is different from the others so out of fear I called my younger brother who was helping me Keep the savings to transfer it to my account and lied to him of what i wanted to use it for. After doing the transfer to him not long he bought a new phone meanwhile mine spoilt and I couldn't replace it because I already budgeted the money for something else. Just a month interval again I stumbled upon some of his messages and realized he has been making huge amounts of transfer yet refused to pay mine. To cut the story short it's been two years since I lend out the money and his yet to pay back. š
I will never forget the day I wrote my first senior secondary school examination (WAEC) and failed one of the compulsory subjects. I cried like a baby and told God he never loved me if not why will he let me fail. But then I realized I was wrong and God was right after hearing the news of a girl who made all her papers in the examination and lost her life in a ghastly motor accident.
I will never forget the day I had to undergo a major operation and after spending weeks in a particular hospital, my dad's friend who was a medical personnel came to the hospital to visit and upon seeing my condition and how the hospital kept postponing the date of the operation he advised they transfer me to another hospital. Without waste of time my dad seconded not wanting to loose his only female child. Lo and behold less than 30mins arriving the new hospital, I was test run and the doctor told my parents they were lucky bringing me here else the next 1 hour would have been sorry we tried our best. Am strong and healthy now. šŖ
I will never forget my cousin sis wedding December 2023.š It wasn't my wedding but I was rich during the wedding especially the day she went to her inlaws house to perform their custom right as a new bride infact it was the money I use to buy myself Christmas clothes and shoe.
And lastly I will never forget the day I joined hive. I would say Hive has been my best gift this year cause I made my first post January which is the introduction post even though I opened an account two months before.
