What did the concerned f.r.i.e.n.d say? How you doing?
To all the friends I love, I have not written anything new in 4 months. That is a lot of time and also a short period of time. But I am not here to discuss time, I am here to talk to you.
I have a large number of friends, not acquaintances, friends. People I have loved from the inception of the friendship, people I still love. My first ever friend is my little sister. Maybe our friendship is what has taught me to do it without restraint, I can’t say.
“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”
- Muhammed Ali
I keep learning everyday, I keep trying, I keep on doing for I know not the way to do it right but I know to always show up.
Anyways, hey you, you who I have chosen and who chose me back. I have shown you love without end and you never fail to reciprocate. How are you?
Life is tough, I know this first hand. We are all getting older and some of us are already old but you keep moving forward, what else is there to do. You persevere, you bend, sometimes you break. I hope I have at some point been the glue to hold you together.
I always tell people the one thing God has blessed me with is amazing people, I am proud to be regarded as a friend to you, I am blessed. So I hope I have shown that I do nothing but love you. Maybe my goal in life is to spread love, maybe it is not, I do it all the same.
I want you to know that you are deserving of so much love, not because you are my friend, not because you are good, not because of your actions but simply because you exist. I will never fail to remind you.
Sometimes I disappear, but it is to take care of myself so that I can take care of you. I am here, always. In your dark, stretch out your hands and I will hold it and lead you to light. In your light I will stand behind you and cheer you on. I will be the honey that sweetens your life.
I am not perfect. I am far from it. Sometimes I fade away, sometimes I lose strength. But please interpret me charitably, extend some grace to me. Talk to me. I want to be better, for you.
When you wake up to face traffic on your way to work, or just move from your bed to your desk, when you kill it at work or work seems to be killing you, please do not forget to breathe.
Like the great Jackson 5 sang, Just call my name and I’ll be there. I love you. I love you infinity.
Letter to my friends
I love you too Oyin ❤️
