Friendship
Have You Ever Broken Up With A Friend?
A few years ago I had a best friend. This person was someone from high school whom I had lost track after graduating. While in college she found me again and we reconnected. We started hanging out frequently and started to develop a deeper friendship. This friendship would not have existed if it was not for her perseverance. You see, after high school I had turned into a very introverted and lonely individual. I did not want to make new friends and didn’t really take care of the old ones I had from high school. This friend, however, was persistent. She pushed me to do things with her. Soon my weekends were occupied with outings she had planned. We were friends for a few years and we even considered becoming roommates at one point. As time passed on I noticed that my friend was a goal setter. She had plans for her life and she wanted to be more social. She would invite me to some of her social gatherings but I just couldn’t see myself there. Soon she got a boyfriend and started to be a bit busier with her life. Still, she would always keep communicating with me as a good friend does. One particular night we decided to go see a play. The night was fun and we enjoyed our show. On the drive back from the play my friend talked about how many plans she had for the following year, it was December at that point. For some reason once she dropped me off at my house I decided that day would be the last day I would ever see her again.

SHATTERED ASPIRATIONS OF YOUTH IN AFRICA
Once I was six years old, making promises worth billions of dollars, to Mama and Papa. Like it was an easy task, I said, "Mum, I will buy three big cars for you and daddy one day, a private jet, and build a house with a swimming pool for you. I will give you lots of money. I will employ three drivers, and five house maids". When I turned ten years, life was still rosy. I kept making promises. Promised to make a name for myself and my family. I told my mum, "one day, I will become a doctor and take you abroad". Even though, we were just struggling to survive, I was determined to make my family famous and respected. Once I was twelve years, I was hit by a huge blow from failure. I thought of my struggling parents, how they starved to send me to secondary school, and now returning to them with a report that read: “Advised to withdraw". I felt a pang of pain as I dragged myself home, to present my report card filled with reds and tears, to my parents. I thought of the promises I made to my parents as a kid, and wept bitterly. Again, at age sixteen, my dreams of becoming a writer, crumbled. I couldn't afford the fees to publish my works, neither did I have a means of working online to get money. I couldn't proceed to the university to pursue my dreams of becoming a doctor, due to lack of funds. My father, a retired teacher, wasn't paid his pension and my family suffered the consequences. Once I was seventeen years, I became a victim of unfortunate circumstances. While struggling for my daily meals, deep into the night, I stumbled upon a group of guys, mercilessly beating up a defenseless teenage guy of my age. He was shot on the spot and I was discovered by them. I received the beatings of my life, then was threatened to join them in their fraudulent ways. I thought of my parents, and the promises I made to them and how proud they will be if I eventually fulfilled them. I looked at the guys one more time and their huge cars, then made up my mind to join them. At least, I will stop struggling for my daily meals now. Once I was nineteen years old, I made my first One hundred million naira. It was a dream come true. I can finally give my parents lots of money, buy a mansion and cars for them. Only if, they were still alive to witness my success. In my quest for riches to cater for my family, I took a wrong step. When I was eighteen, my guys told me of a way to get rich quick and I didn't disagree. I was taken to a place, where I only have to stab an empty Calabash and I will be rich. So easy, I thought, I stabbed the Calabash and indeed after three days, I made five million naira from my fraudulent work. Barely a week after, my father died, mysteriously. Again, I stabbed the empty Calabash, and made One hundred million naira. My dear Mother, was eaten up by worms after a week, also. Unknown to me, I unintentionally used my parents for ritual while trying to care for them. Now, I’m all alone, sad and rich in regrets. Once I was Twenty years old, I lost my bearings. Lost my sanity, my home and peace. The streets became my home, where I roam naked and eat from dirt.
