KNOWING YOUR TRUE FRIENDS By: Oluwajimi Thorpe



                       

Happy weekend to my readers, I will be writing on a very significant topic we all need to check in our life to see if we are making progress in our daily activities.
                            WHO IS A FRIEND?
 A friend is someone you love and who loves you, someone you respect and respects you, someone you trust and trusts you, someone who is happy to spend time with you doing absolutely nothing at all, someone that doesn’t care if you are ugly or boring, someone who forgives you no matter what you do, someone who tries to help you even when everything is confusing , someone who will sacrifice their life and happiness for you, someone that doesn’t care if you are rich or poor.
 Looking at this definition given above, how many of us can say to ourselves that we have friends in our life, how many of us can say we have people that will stand for us during our hardest time, how many people you call your friends are really your friends.
HOW MANY WILL  STAND BY YOU WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING?
 HOW MANY WILL STAY ON BOARD WHEN THE SHIP IS SINKING?
 HOW MANY CAN RECEIVE STROKES OF CANE FOR YOU?
 HOW MANY WILL GIVE YOU A HELPING HAND WHEN YOU NEED THEM?




 ‘’A TRUE FRIEND CAN ONLY BE IDENTIFIED DURING YOUR HARDEST TIME’’O.J.THORPE
 I don’t know about you, but I know about myself that this year I am changing a lot of fake people in my life, if you have someone that can at least do half of what I listed above hold on to them.
But if it’s the opposite, you just have to drop all those people for you to grow in life, you may feel you can’t do without them but later you will find out that it was the best thing that happened in your life, some friends tend not to add value in our life, they tend to slow you down, they tend to always expect from you without them at least giving a bit.
‘’Some friends are just in your life for what they can get from you, not for what they can share with you’’O.J.THORPE.
If i may ask you WHY DO YOU STILL KEEP THIS TYPE OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE?
Can you ask yourself WHAT VALUE IS THIS PERSON ADDING TO MY LIFE?
 Some people just have to leave your life for you to grow, if you are not growing in life you most also check the people around you that you call friends.
 ‘’A TRUE FRIEND IS LIKE YOUR SHADOW, WE RISE AND FALL TOGETHER’’O.J.THORPE.
 I can’t choose your friend for you, I can only enlighten you on the true meaning of the word FRIEND.

Echoes of My Soul By: Similafleur

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

Touching Story

     A cat was so faithful    that the woman    could leave her baby    with it & go out to    attend other matters.    She always returned    to find the child    soundly asleep with    the cat faithfully    watching over him.    One day something    tragic happened. The    woman as usual, left    the baby in the "hands"    of this faithful cat    and went out shopping.    When she returned,    she discovered rather    a nasty scene, there    was a total mess.    The baby's cot was    dismantled; his nappies    and clothes torn to    shreds with blood    stains all over the    bedroom where she    left the child & the cat.    Shocked, the woman    waile...

SEX-ESCAPADE

          Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it".  Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego. In our brother’s mind, he was good.  On the 14th of December, 2016,  she left him without a word. He called her, texted her, but she did not reply and he continued with his life and he dated no one else. Two months later, his brother had an accident and needed blood. Of course, he ...
