"Beauty indeed they say, is in the eyes of the beholder."
Here I am sitting on one side of my bed, totally disappointed and dumbfounded. On the other side of the bed, lies his wedding invitation card. I'm still wondering why he kept leading me on despite having a fiancé. I'm sure you must be thinking who this man I'm talking about is, okay let me tell you.
I moved into the city of Jos four months ago for my National Youth Service Corp (NYSC). One of the reasons why I quickly accepted to rent this apartment was because of him. Larry, my next door neighbour, a very handsome and soft spoken young man, who had the voice of an Angel.
Gradually we became friends. He will always check on me before going to work and when he comes back. During the weekends, he cooks for me, and made me feel comfortable. I felt I could tell him everything, and anything. He became my best friend, play mate and neighbour.
But one thing was missing. He was yet to ask me out, and that was a major concern. I want to make the move, but I didn't want to be seen as 'desperate'. I laughed with him daily, but I was dying inside-I constantly wondered why he was taking such long time to ask me out.
I felt he was taking his time, so I decided to wait for him, till whenever he was ready. But that's in the past now. Larry just walked into my apartment this afternoon with a lady who happens to be his fiancé with a wedding invite on his hand.
It turns out he is engaged, and was waiting for his fiancé to round off her master's degree programme oversea before they could settle down. Here am I, sitting on my bed, more than heart broken reminiscing on how many guyd I have turned down because of him.
My daily affirmation inspired by think and grow rich by Napoleon Hills
By December next year, I'm hoping to accumulate a net worth of $80,000 and monthly income in excess of $4,000.
How do I plan to hit my target? I'm an artist and also good at sculpture. I'll put my talent to work and come out with brilliant paintings, drawings and sculptures. I'll deliver good work for anyone who need my services while I earn for posting my works on blurt.
To make this a reality, I'm willing to work for blurt blockchain if given the opportunity to showcase my skills. Just like I was told about blurt, I'm telling people about blurt also.
