friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Be You
Thank you for making me smile every day and loving me along the way. Thank you for being a true and trusted friend. Most of all just thank you for you. Some people come into our life for a moment, some people stay for a lifetime, either way a footprint on my heart was left...thank you for the mark you left on me. I wish I could tell someone how thankful I am for them because they helped me smile through the tears when I was falling apart. Thank you. I know that no matter how much money I get in this lifetime, no matter how famous I get, no matter what happens in my life I will never be truly able to pay you back for a tenth of what you’ve done for me yet alone to show you what you mean to me whether that’s in words or in actions. So, I guess for now, until I find a better way to show you what you mean to me, this is a reminder of one thing I want you to always remember. Just be yourself. You simply being you for the last few years have turned me into the person I am today.

Being Lonely in 2018
Loneliness, something we have all gone through at some stage, right? But with most people, it tends to pass after a period. Sadly it has remained consistent throughout my life. But there's no point beating around the bush, I'm lonely. There, I said it! I'm a lonely person. Over the years, I've wanted find ways to say it without saying it, but I guess it's easier to be direct.

Everyone needs friends in order to survive. No human can live on their own forever, with no friends or no companions. I've never been the best friend in the world.

We Three: My Past, My Shadow, & Me
Where I grew up, your past follows you everywhere. Good, bad, and ugly, it’ll always be there. Either tearing you down or making you stronger. My past involves a lot of misconceptions, which turned into plenty of misunderstandings, and resulted in a plethora of embarrassing moments for me.

Ministry Through Friends
Last year I was offered two positions in a different city. I was so excited about the opportunities but it required me to up-root myself from everything I knew and loved in Philadelphia. I had to quickly prepare to be a part-time college professor and full-time researcher; the goals I have set myself were finally happening. When I told my family and friends about the new opportunities and the relocation, they were so excited for me. Their excitement and support for my career goals meant so much to me. I was so proud.

For a Reason or a Season?
We are all aware that not everyone we encounter will remain a part of our lives. Occasionally people move away, unfortunately some are taken by nature. Some friendships face a bitter end. Then there is also the simple reason that you grow apart. I want us to focus on the latter.

Lovers No More (Ch. 5)
I really had no idea of what I was getting into when I signed up for college. I was totally dumbstruck at the notion of the fact that I was no longer in high school. I was now in the big waters of serious business. I was in with the big boys and girls now. If I was going to become a teacher, I needed to get started with and deal with reality and not dreams. I told myself that if I worked really hard and got my Bachelors degree, I could still show up Eddie. I wanted this mainly for myself. The race had begun. All the time, I knew that he was having the time of his life with me not being around. I had that feeling myself. I was happy for most of my last year. Now, it was his turn. I could practically hear him throwing a party all the way from Middle Village. He must have been in seventh Heaven knowing that I wasn’t going to be around for a while. I could only imagine how happy he must have been. He took away my dream before graduation. Now, there was nobody there to rob him of his dream. I was hoping that someone would have done that to him. I was able to live with that concept up until a point.

Lovers No More (Ch. 2)
This was probably the best September start that I have ever had in my entire life. I had one year of high school under my belt and eagerly awaited for the second. This time, the building took on a whole new look. It was as if I were a part of the place. I felt more comfortable and quite secure. The new Maurice was definitely much better than the old one.
