It's Not Their Wish Pt1.

Do you think they prayed for it? Do you think they are in love with the lifestyle? No! They didn't pray for it. They never wanted it. It's just so unfortunate that life is not treating them well. What do you do when it seems that life is not treating you well? I think you should just flow with the wave but you should have it in mind that you are surely going to laugh at the end. Life cannot be very cruel. It is full of challenges and it needs you to fight back. Who cares about how many battles that you have fought? Do life really care? No! The only way you can prove to be a great warrior is to face your challenges and make your story a beautiful one. Let me share a story.

I met a guy for over five months now. I met him accidentally and he seemed to be a very cool guy. There's no doubt about that. He's so cool. After a few days of chatting frequently, I went back to my busy lifestyle and I could not respond to his Whatsapp messages. Moreover, he's trying to be in a relationship with me but I am not ready to have a relationship. That shut is quite expensive and I won't love to engage in it for now. I just want to be alone. I want to do my thing alone. I just want peace. I want to be alone till Jah knows when.

A few days ago, I was bored and I chose to talk to him. He texted me on Whatsappand I decided to give him a response. It has been over two weeks now. Ever since then, we have been talking everyday. Well, I'm a sweet girl too. I so much love relationships when though I am very scared to have one. He never cease to remind me that he's deeply in love with me and he will appreciate it if I can be his girlfriend. You know when you're getting the kind of assurance that you need, the attention that you need and every other thing, you will surely fall in love. I fell in love with him.

It is so funny how I fell in love with the guy without saying yes to him. I'm calm. I'm not in a hurry to have a relationship. I knew that a day will come, we're just going to talk about everything. I mean that we're going to talk about him, his lifestyle, family background and more of those. I do not always take them seriously before but I just need to do so now. Those things are more important than we ever think of.

Yesterday, he was down. He was depressed and he needed someone to talk to. He didn't want to share the problems he had with me maybe because he thinks I will stop talking to him when I am done listening to his story. I forced him to say something. I made him realize that I am a human being too. My life is not perfect. I have done many shits too but I just have to come back stronger to prove myself. To prove to life that I will be very fortunate.

He then shared his story with me. He's a young guy in his early twenties. He's from a broken home and that happened since he was four years old. I don't know how broken homes are in other countries but anyone who is from a broken home here is likely to be a negative influence to the society. Why is that? This is Nigeria! It happens because such a person will surely lack one of the parental cares which is very important to a child. At the end of the day, a child like that will be left alone and he will be influenced negatively by societal vices. It's not a crime to be from a broken home. It's not his fault. People who are victims of this situation didn't choose it for themselves.

It's just so unfortunate that life happened to those people and they had to live with it. He continued to tell me his story. He has always been left alone by his parents since he was little. I don't think a lot of us know how sad it could be when a little child who is supposed to be enjoying his life is trying to survive. At what age? The young man has been trying to survive sine age five. All by himself. At some point in his life, he was adopted by his family members. I wished it lasted longer so that he will have an insight of what living with your family is but it didn't last longer. At some point in his life, he was sent elsewhere just to live there.

Why didn't he live with his parents? From what I was told, his mother is that kind of woman who does not care about the welfare or about the lives of her children. She does not even know where they are. That's not nice!!! This is why I advise people not to become parents if they know that they are not ready to nurture children. They should not make the future leaders to become criminals.

Do you know what? The guy's story is long. I will make another part for it. I hope you stay tuned to know the kind of tribulations that has fell on him. Well, it's not his fault. It's life!!! Life just happened to him. I'll continue with the story in a few hours from now.
