In life we are all shaped by our experiences, there are events that cause us to fold and unfold and refold (lol) and it's only as we grow older that we will understand the essence of it.
Growing up, I didn't really have the opportunity to visit alot of places, due to financial and economical reasons, it was hard enough for my parents that they had to send I and my other siblings to school because,ofcourse education is most important,so I didn't even bother disturbing them even though I felt left out all the time.
I remember one time, it was after a long vacation from school and when we resumed, my friends and class mates back then were having a discussion on the many places they had visited during the holidays and I was in their midst, so quiet, listening attentively and laughing when necessary because I didn't have anything to say, then out of nowhere someone said " Eunice don't you want to gist us" and go the first six seconds I was speechless, I didn't go anywhere and I could not cook up any story in such short notice and I just bursted into subtle sobs and every body was confused.
I was so embarrassed to the the point that I couldn't even give any explanation for my actions and I just walked out of the gathering as fast as I could.
Enough of the sob story, now that I think about it, it is so hilarious 😂 and I don't wish for anyone to experience that.
Fast forward to few years later, life has changed and I barely remember some other similar events, but one thing I am certain of is that these experience made me see life alot differently. It made me appreciate every single opportunity I have as an adult to go out, visit new places or even old ones, I'm so delighted every time I get the chance to go out.
Just going out to a nice restaurant or an art gallery may seem insignificant to alot of people but I understand life is different for people and we don't get to share the same experience and all that but I can't fully describe the joy and satisfaction I derive from engaging in those activities.
And as they say " happiness is found in the little things of life".
I visited an art gallery and the enthusiasm before I got there was second to none😂, I was so excited to be there but nothing prepared me for the way I felt looking at those big paintings hanging on the wall, I was fascinated by the view.
The furnitures I saw there have never existed, honestly I Loved every bit of my experience.
The decorations, flower pots were so beautiful, they had this African Calabash vibe to it, the upgraded version of a local Calabash, and it is painted black which made it look luxurious.
I did take alot of pictures to make memories and look forward to doing this over and over again.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
