It cannot be everyday that we find ourselves fortunate over the choices we make in life or over the circumstances surrounding our birth or environment. There are people who wish daily that they were not born in their familes, state or even in Nigeria at all. Who can blame them though. No be only dem go sabi where d shoe dey pinsh pinsh dem? Anyway, to those ones, we say, may your future bring better luck for you.
That being said, this piece is going out to the ones for whose sake some of us would never contemplate another origin, citizenship or ancestry. This is to the people who have stayed and persevered through all the years of our drama filled lives. They, who scripted the dramas with us, lived with our personalities, and we admit, even for us, it is never an enjoyable task. You guys always have kept our engines running. You have made life for us an experience to look out for everyday.
Just so you know, you beautiful creatures, who come in the name of mother, father, brother, sister, best friends, cousins, uncles, aunts, neighbours, haters too, (yes, even those ones too), you all are the centre of our world. Just take away you from us and what's left? A helpless child left on the street to fend for himself, or a daughter abused and abandoned, or even a bored youth driven to despondency or deliquencies. Just imagine!
You awesome people always have our backs, praising us when we excel, scolding us when we disappoint, supporting us when we fail, laughing at our dry jokes, cheering us even when no one else sees the need, encouraging us, disappointing us, drawing tears from us, falling in love with us, crahing in love with us, recovering in love with us, reminding us constantly never to settle for less. You rock our world.
We may not tell you everyday, we may seem to not cherish you enough, not ever listen to a word you have to say, not adequately show to you enough, but you are the God we see. Thank you for being so awesome. Don't ever stop. And we'l try harder to show you that we love you, even if we know that we'll suck at making that promise real. You rock my world y'all..
