This post will serve as a medium for a contest titled "losing close friends."

Before I proceed with this post, I will like to thank boss @dlmmqb because if not for him, I will not be able to make this post as he's the one who helped me with my low RC level. Thanks to everyone for their vocal and motivational support in hivelearners, I really appreciate.

So, let's get to the content shall we?
The act of keeping friends is one that needs to be met by everyone in other to maintain a good mental health and social lifestyle. Developmentally speaking, an individual subconciously makes friends everywhere they go and this act is only but natural and important for that given individual as it helps to elevate mental health to a good peak. However, one thing I have noticed personally in life is that the more a person grows, he/she tends to forget about their old friends. This happen due to one reason or another and sometimes, it happens naturally without any reason.

WE ALL HAVE THOSE FRIENDS THAT WE WERE REALLY CLOSE TO DURING CHILDHOOD, BUT EVENTUALLY LOST DUE TO ONE REASON OR THE OTHER. WHAT HAPPENED?


I use to have a lot of friends before I moved to the east. I grew up in the north, Kaduna state Nigeria to be precise and life there was one I always wished for irrespective of the fact that we had little as of then.

I had real friends from he north who will always be there for me no matter what. Their names are Thank God, D-boy, Samson, onoja, Nwokeoma, and many of them I can't finish listing. These people made life memorable for me and I really appreciate it but it was too bad I lost my friends.

One day, my mom gathered I and my brothers and told us that we will relocate to the east based on the insecurity of the north as of then as well as we didn't have much to fend for our selves. She said that we needed to know where we came from so that we could locate and go back to our source if anything happened. Being a teenager then,I didn't want to leave my friends and I insisted on staying back with my friends but mom being mom, refused, she only told I and my brothers to start saying our goodbyes before it was too late and we reluctantly agreed.

When the time for us to travel came, I was bittered because I didn't have a phone to collect their phone numbers and that was how I lost both physical and digital communication with my beloved friends.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW

Currently I don't really know where they are. All I know is that I left them at Kaduna and came back to the east. Few years ago, I heard rumors from my mother that one of my friends Nnana and his parents relocated to Lagos Nigeria because of the same insecurity in Kaduna state.

HOW WILL YOU REACT IF YOU WERE TO SEE THEM AGAIN

TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL REACT.

Leaving my friends in Kaduna really made me have an introversion characteristics but I am a kind of person that move on easily from any past I have and it has been helping me emotionally. One thing I've told my self about them is that: people come and go but the only thing that matters is the positive impact we leave inside them before going. So with this, I know that I left a good impact on my friends.

Also, I don't like going back to my last, well unless I want to learn from my past but if not, I see my last as a library in which I go to for lectures, in other to perfect my future, so on this note, I will neither be happy nor sad if I meet them again.. I'll just have my normal attitude and learn more from them.

CONCLUSION

We all have previous friends we left due to one reason or another and that action has left us with a good or bad characteristics in one way or the other. However, it is only but natural for we to lose more friends because the older one gets, the higher their level and the faster they lose friends who don't impact positivity to them lives. Irresponsible of this fact however, we should always move forward with a huge smile and learn from our past because going back to the past without a tangible reason means that a person isn't ready to grow and face the bright and difficult future.

This wouldn't be a blog if you don't visit it and read through, on this note I want to Thank you for reading through my blog, I really appreciate.

Happy new fruitful week ahead.
