Life can be so beautiful when you have people that will make you feel comfortable. I have met so many good people and bad people too, but then I've met so many more good people than I have bad ones. I just believe the people that treated you poorly are meant to teach you a lesson. I personally believe that strangers do more good to you than the people you are so close to, especially your family.
I don't believe in families anymore, except my parents and siblings, but you see all these other families are something else entirely.That reminds me of a time when I got admission to the university; well, I once wrote a post about it.
I met a stranger who happens to be someone I helped to repair her phone, and of course she loves my work. We became friends all of a sudden, and she asked about me and my whereabouts; she realized I don't really have a place to sleep. And to my surprise, she got me a place to sleep; this place was equipped with everything a man needed in the room.
I thought she was joking, not until I got inside. After that she keeps giving me money every week; her husband also took care of me, giving me money and food. I mean, who gives you food and a house at the same time and also gives you money when you need it? Even your family members cannot do that.After staying with her for some time, she gave me a shop to stay in and also gave me enough money to buy goods in the shop she gave me. It was a memory I can not forget;
I kept telling her she had a place in my heart even after I left her side.Another thing I will not forget is after my university, I met another woman who was absolutely a stranger to me; this was even funnier. It was just a stone's throw from where I was staying. I left home that day to go to another shop just to tell the person I met in the shop that I'm an engineer and I repair phones. The next thing this woman will say is, Where is your shop? I told her I couldn't afford one, and she said, Okay, I should come and stay with her in her shop so we can share it together.
I was amazed by her gesture and her kindness. I stayed with her for almost a year selling goods. She treated me so nice, and I appreciated it not until I left for my service in the year 2023.And at the same time, I've had family members that treated me so poorly, I went for my teaching practice in the year 2016, and since my father junior brother is living in that place, I do go and visit her, i only need to spend three months in the school, anytime I visited them her wife always treated me so poorly, it was so disheartening that I asked myself what if I will be staying with them for years.Family members most times can act so poorly for themselves; more reasons I don't even like going to any family members; I like strangers because strangers are always good people to me. Apart from my parents and my siblings, I hardly associate with other family members.

There are some strangers who would act so good and kind to you that will leave you speechless whereas, even some family members are surprising with their bad attitudes and will make you wonder if they truly are your relative or even blood. That's life for you. Even the Bible says there's a friend who stick closer than a friend, something like that...
The fact that you end it with a biblical verse, this woman ehn 😂
Bad family experience is like a must, but that does not stop us from being family.
I agree with you
I don’t know your relationship with your extended family but not all families are like that cause I for a person I still believe in family.
Although, I have had my fair share of bad family members but family will always remain family.
It was so kind of those women to help you, you see being kind cost nothing and I still wonder why some people chose to be so wicked .
There's no doubt that some family are good and some are not, thanks for stopping by.
You are welcome
She must've been an angel😇
We have strangers who would act so good and caring than family members though not all family members. That's so thoughtful of the strangers you met and helped you, nowadays it's rare to see such kindness from strangers.
Love isn’t about blood anymore. Sometimes strangers would treat you way better than your one family will. That’s just life.
