REMINISCENCE: STORY OF MY LIFE.

The past made me, the future is what I make myself. The words that I awake with in each new dawn. That even though the dreams of my life have not been achieved, it can and must be achieved. From the pains of the past I developed a clearer vision of my future. The story of my life is a story riddled with passions, sweet memories, and sad moments. How can I write about the story of my life and not talk about love? I am an outcome of love from (father and mother) and I have felt love in my veins, I have been loved and have loved. I must say that love is the greatest gift one can ever get in a wicked planet like earth.

Life on earth proves that even though we spend our entire life searching for permanent happiness, what one could ever have is but transient happiness, that the journey of my life in a country like Nigeria is not a push over. A friend once said that you do not know how strong you are until your faith has been put to test. Like most men, I have made mistakes in life that became a life lesson, I have been bruised and hurt by those I loved and trusted that at a time the only adage that I lived by was: no joy in this kingdom. I have cried in the dead middle of the night, when I could not feel the prowling eyes of anyone, letting it fall like a rainfall. I remember when tears of pain was my only solace, when pain and suffering was the only friend I had, when hunger made me become angry of my life, when my life was filled with bitterness and hatred. Like a movie, being acted; every man on earth is an actor acting a role.

Life in childhood.

Life as a child is one of the treasures of life I will never forget easily. It was a time when the love of parents was very obvious. It was a time of naked dances in the rain, when dreams was young, when everything was a marvel to a young mind. A world were nothing could ever reach, fantasies and dreams intertwined together in this world that no trouble could reach. The times when the problems and troubles of my life were but a few, just give me a snack and all my worries would be forgotten like the wind. 

However, a man with many flaws is what I became. For sometimes, I am the man whom I condemn and criticize. How could one describe me as a perfect being when imperfection flows through my blood? Even when the story of my life is being written by me, yet I do not know how it will end. In one of the lonely days of my heart, I craved for the love and touch of a woman, for no one wants to be alone. when I think I have seen it all, done it all, life seems to teach me a new math and prove to me that” no man knows it all” life tells you that amidst the millions of people on this earth, it is but a few who care and would love you

On this my birthday, at this juncture, by this time of my life, I will forever pledge my allegiance to those who brought light into my dark life; My beloved mother Mrs Victoria, who gave me the love of a lifetime, my family whom God blessed me with, my friends (robby, nony, chapman, E.U, wald) who have shared in my sorrow and happiness on earth, and made me understand that family is not only blood. 

Finally, remember this I say to you; you are the hero of your life. Let no man, born of woman take that away from you. Someday in the sands of time, when my body cannot be differentiated with dust, I want  you to remember that I once lived, I once laughed and most importantly I once loved, and that your happiness is in your hands. In time to come when I sleep to wake no more I want to be remembered with a smile to your beautiful face (my reader). i will spend my entire life in search of permanent happiness which is almost an illusion in this world of mine
