The English dictionary defines friendship in a certain way but I think it doesn't capture the true essence of it so I decided to come up with mine. To me, a friend is someone who knows how messed up your life is and still chooses to be a part of it. You can't put a price on that now or can you? We are not at liberty to choose family but friends, we damn right have a choice and that's why when someone you thought was your friend, suddenly begins to act like a douche-bag, you simply put up with it or you send them parking from your picture perfect life, shinkena!
I'm one of those who have been fortunate enough to meet very wonderful people who find my craziness fascinating hmm that's if they are not so themselves oh! I'm the kind of girl who awakens a side of you, you never knew existed. In a positive way that is!
My darling Tina, was a proper girl until she met me and I made her know it's cool to scrape snow off the top of a clean surface and lick it the way we used to scrape the freezer and lick the ice flakes and call it ice cream (please forgive me for making your life a lot more fun) life is short people! Why make living life such a bore? I only had normal friends till I met this very special girl I want to talk about.
I went for church service that beautiful Sunday morning and as usual, I went to sit at the back with the boys. For anyone who knows a good choir, you know the sopranos are meant to sit in front. I'm not trying to sound conceited but I'm a bad arse singer! The type who will make you give your life to christ that is if you haven't but begin who I am, I don't sit with the rest of the girls because I hate the feeling of sounding like a canary doing back up singing for the dream girls. My choir director must have had enough of my ways and he asked me to either do the back up or leave the choir stand. I chose option b of course! I angrily went to sit with the congregation at the back of the church and just then, pastor said for us to shake the person sitting next to us saying something I don't remember. That was when I had the opportunity of meeting this girl.
My second encounter with her was on Valentines day. We had choir practice and we also had a party organised by the church. We had finished rehearsal and it was audition time for new members and that was when I first heard her sing. Her voice was like nothing I had ever heard. She was singing "Just to be close to you is my desire " the hair on the back of my neck stood gosh! She sounded like an oyinbo cd and from that moment on, I knew I wanted to be friends with this geh. I walked up to her and said something really funny and we have been friends ever since.
We all have different purposes for our lives and as such we might not have as much time as we want, to be with people we love. We grow up, get jobs, get married and have kids and somehow, we forget the very people who have been there for us from the beginning. I wanna use this medium to celebrate my friends and tell you how much value your friendship has added to my life. I may not get to see you as often as I want, I may not get to call you ever so often as I ought to but I love you all the same.
Happy birthday my darling Onome, here's wishing you good health, love and plenty pikin lol! Visit here blog here mypocketfull.wordpress.com never a dull moment there. Happy friendship day people!
