A friend in an unlikely place.

Dedicated to Ajibola🌼



 Quiet, modest, reserved– these are the words I would use to describe you. 

We've known each other for five years,

I remembered the first time I got to know you.

It was at camp, at an hostel. It was a popular story building having a wide spaced compound. There were about four identical structures in that building. I had gone over there to see a mutual friend, and fellow departmental mate. 

It was morning, my sister and I were both sitting outside, by a pole of some sort admiring the sky. 

We were so surprised to see you but it was a pleasant surprise. We didn't know we would get to meet anyone else we knew here. 

I think you even greeted us first. 

You were different from what I had originally thought. This was around 200l.

As opposed to being someone who liked to keep to themselves, you were easy to talk to. For the first time, I asked for your name and you told me,

AJIBOLA. 


I later got to know that other people know you by a different name. It made me wonder a lot of times if I was the one who kept forgetting your name. 😂

Since then I've had a positive outlook about you and always respected your input in things. I saw you as a friend from that day.

THE TOWER

We're all going up, striving for something, A better house, better cars, better jobs... But what really matters the most? That is the billion dollar question, right? Why do we do all of these, what is the end point? We know the end though we don't know _when_ it comes, But along the way, striving for these things, let us not forget those who love us, those who were there, those we laughed with, those we became stronger with, This life is indeed vanity but what's more is what comes after our race,  Will you be the winner of the race or the loser? Eternity is longer than our mortality, I can't not make it home after all I've been through here, So with each floor I climb, I must never forget what lies beyond the top of the tower, It's either I fall off, Or I fly beyond, So, dear reader, what will it be? Want to fly with me? From a flower in her garden, Taiwolilly ✌ . . . . A/N: It's been so long😣, I'm sorry for the late update. Please do let me know what y...

The Coconut

Brown on the outside but white on the inside. Brown signifies dirt, even more than this is the texture that the coconut bears. It is hard and almost impossible to break without an external force. There is nothing appealing about the appearance of a coconut, but on the inside... On the inside is sweetness, pureness and softness. One entity and yet different from two perspective. A person may seem very hard on the surface, by your standards a very tough wild human being, but he feels too just like you do. In fact, he might be softer than what most might think. Have you ever thought about why he does the things he does, why he's arrogant and acts out? Maybe more than an over inflated ego is a softness, a sore part he's trying to hide. The key is understanding people though it's not always easy, 'cause you need patience and love; two very scarce things these days. I'm not excusing them but I just think, there is a reason for eve...
