I'm still wondering if the current year, 2025, will pass as fast as 2024 did, because, by this time last year, we were already in july, preparing for august meeting.
Though last year was really hard, there are many lessons that came with these hardships, and one of them is never to join anybody to protest against the government. Live life and be happy with it.
I made many mistakes last year, i also got some loses as well as some wins but then, though i regret these mistakes that i made, deep down, i am very happy that i made those mistakes because they came with some lessons that i will never forget throughout my life time.
In 2024, the economy was really bad, and its still bad, but then, even when people complained of these hardships, all i could do was look for opportunities to get some bucks in my wallet. I tried everything i could to take advantage of the hardships.
one thing i do tell myself every single day is that; Harris, your social life is trash and your really need to work on it, but then, i feel very reluctant to do so. My lackadaisical attitude towards maintaining a friendship, or a relationship, is really profound, making it difficult for me to properly socialize and fit in in the society. I don't do what they want to do, and they can't enjoy their own company, always wanting to go to noisy places, while i want to stay and relax in a silent place, while listening to my breathe and body and reminiscing at the same time.
It got to a point where i could not hold a conversation with somebody for a long time, because i get bored on the way, and look for everything possible to run away from talking with them.
Come to think of it, the only people i could sit with and talk properly without getting bored are married people who have one business or the other. I like sitting in the midst of people who are way older than me.
Throughout 2024, i wouldn't say i made any friends, though i have good people in the city of neoxian who are really amazing.
Honestly speaking, i don't actually want to change from being someone who finds joy in his own company, but then, i have reached that aspect of my life where i need good and solid relationships to climb my ladder of success.
This, however, has proven to be the most difficult thing there is for me to do, because, any time i try to socialize with people and make new friends, it doesn't go as planned.
Its either they start giving me signals that they are not trust worthy, or, they became friends with me so that i can help them financially, and when i do, they disappear.
This year, i want to do things differently, irrespective of anything, i want to try and at least, get 1 good friend who is in my age bracket, and who has a hustlers mindset. welp, i hope i find one.
This is my entry for the hive learners prompt.

Wow what a change. The lines that captured my heart is the conclusion. I have been praying for you self to go beyond that kind of friend and even consummate such friendship into marriage.
May you marry this year. Abeg include it as a supplementary changes you need.
Happy new year
those consummates are really annoying.
Welp, i dont really plan on marrying yet, but, let the will of Jehovah be done.
thanks for your lovely comment

I hail brother. It's ok
I also don't like to make many friends as I've two friends since a decade. It's about 12 year relationship with her.... But i hope you'll get one good friend too....
2024 was definitely a year of learning for many people, including me, I also made mistakes that I don't intend to make this year. I think your goal is really beautiful, it's always good to meet someone new that we can call a friend.
It's funny how I could totally relate to this post; making friends was also hard for me. Mostly people came to me because of what they wanted.
But at some point I started praying and asking God to send genuine friends to me. By the end of my undergraduate and NYSC year, I made a few good friends that have stuck around even after 9 years.
Though I am still learning how to socialize, last year I was intentional about it, and I started with my local church. Instead of going home after service, I just stayed around to greet a few persons and also volunteered in some church programs like outreach.
I think you need to be patient with yourself while making some intentional steps.
I pray God almighty gives you a true friend this year.
