Being fooled by the ones you think they love you really hurts. What happened to me?? I really don't know. I've lived the whole of my life loving Naomi, giving her every bit of me, but then, live has it own funny ways of dealing with us.

Naomi's Birthday

On the 19th of April was the D-Day for Naomi's birthday. I was super excited to celebrate her birthday with her for the 16th time together. Yeah you heard me right, 16 times. I've known her since we were kids and has promised to always stick to each other.
Have you ever been madly in love that you felt you'll never be able to live without that person?? Well that was my case. Naomi was all I got. On her birthday, she invited me, and lots of her friends, even the ones I don't know.

The party was okay and going well until she slipped off my presence. Thought it will be the perfect time to give her a surprise with my gift. I called her to know where she was, she answered and said she was with Linda, her childhood friend. Yeah, it's okay that way. I went straight to her room to keep it there for her. Want I saw was different from what I have been fed up with.

Naomi was actually kissing with Maleek, my friend. And when I saw them, she got shocked but it was normal to Maleek. He boldly called me a loser and said I don't deserve Naomi. He even went as far as saying they've been together for long, and how Naomi has been berating me. I couldn't believe it. Honestly it was true, she couldn't say anything.

Where I got my encouragement

I was forced to leave that party and go to a lonely place so I can clear my head. Sitting on these rocks tells me how beautiful and tough nature could be, and the water in front, lovely.

I began to think about my life, feeling down and discouraged. I thought of drowning myself. What will I live for?? I'm all alone on this planet. But then, looking through this water was a reflection of a bolder and stronger me. Water indeed gives life. I could see myself getting through tough times and making a better future for me, with or without Naomi.

Can you imagine life without rock?
No, I can't possibly imagine. Lonely out there but still useful to mankind. Beautiful out there. I can be better than this. Who brought me out here tonight I don't know, but I'm happy I found myself here. The encouragement was natural, from nature.

I have to live my life and live for myself.
"No matter how tough life might seem, always try to find something that would encourage you."
