I did not want to relive my pasts so I am not going back to it but the lesson learnt will remain forever and be used to shape the future.
The Weekend Contest.NB: This is my entry post for the @galenkp
I will go with the first option which is:
Describe your ideal weekend: Where is it, what happens, with who does it happen (if anyone else is present) and explain your answer. Be as creative as you like.
It is always my desire to have an ideal weekend with my family not because I've not been able to have a good time with them before but we've not have a good time together as a family.
This sounds weird of a young adult or let me say a matured guy and all through his life, he has not experienced the joy of having a family vacation or hangout.
Every weekend and weekdays has been from one hustle to another and it became worse when I gained admission but before then how was my weekend spent.
The beginning of the dilemma.
While I was growing up, I happen to be a mama's kid and I follow my mum all around.
Don't blame me, I did not have the opportunity of seeing my father too often. It is always I and my mum almost all the time.
The only time I do see my dad was on Sunday in the afternoon when he is getting ready to go out.
He do come home late and I don't have the chance as a kid to interact with him like father like son. 😢😢😢
Is it funny? Yes and No but that was the kind of lifestyle that I had as a kid.
The whole scenario continued till I gained admission and because of what I have learnt as a kid, I go home once in a year even though my higher institution is just an hour journey away from my family.
It is an experience that is so awful or I should say a bitter choice to make.
The way life has treated me has made me to value every minute on phone with my family but that is not enough.
A trip to Erin Ijesha waterfall.
Enough of the story, let us rewrite the future and create an ideal weekend. 😂😂😂
Where is Erin Ijesha Waterfall?
Erin ijesha water fall is located in Erin ijesha, Osun state in the Western past of Nigeria. It is a tourist center where water falls directly from the mountain and falls on seven different mountains that are in levels.
Why did I choose this place?
Erin Ijesha is a small town which shares border with Erin Oke which is the native town of my mum and in history, it has been long since my dad visited his in-laws so the trip will be a way of reconnecting the bond and bringing back family ties that is about to be broken.
Who and who will be there?
As God liveth, it will be a vacation for six. My dad, my mum, I and my three siblings.
I would love to take a lady along and tie the knot while enjoying the vacation but my own love of my life is no where to be found so I will keep the crew to the available people. 😂😂😂
What are we going to do?
The last time I went there, I was able to climb up to the fourth mountain/level so this time around, there is going to be a challenge and a reward for anyone that can get to the seventh mountain and pluck the leave that symbolises reaching the last stage.
Are you surprised?
It has been the norm at Erin Ijesha waterfall for anyone who reached the seventh mountain to pluck the leave that was believed to only grow at the seventh mountain.
I did not know how possible that is but there is a particular leave which cannot be found anywhere within the waterfall except the seventh mountain and that serves as a sign to show that the person actually reached the seventh mountain.
Is that all?
No, I will not let the whole enjoyment go without sensitising my family about money, finance and cryptocurrency.
Though my parent might not be able to find their way but I will be their asset manager and that will serve as a way of showing how their little young adult has been able to overcome some challenges of life.
My siblings on the other hand will be taught the principles of wealth right from their young age even though I have been telling them before but that will be the first time I will be having the conversation with them in a serene environment. It has always being in a harsh tone. 😂😂😂
I will not lie to you, I will snap as many picture as I could and also try out my last attempt again.
Don't be surprised I said again.
I visited Erin Ijesha waterfall early this year. Here are few of the picture that I had.
This was taken at the fourth level:
This is the third level:
I could not go beyond the fourth level because I was damn too tired and if if I should try it, it will be late before I will get down so I am going back to complete my last challenge and this time, I will come back with the leave. 💪💪💪
I did not mean to write a long post but I am glad I could put down into writing what I have been thinking for so long.
Thanks to @galenkp for this opportunity.

Till I cross your path again, I am like a ready made pen in the hand of the creator. I am

The only waterfall I was Privileged to visit was Owu waterfall in my hometown. That was my first time seeing waterfall in reality. I would also love to visit Erin Ijesha waterfall someday too.
Just as I would love to visit the Owu waterfall as well.
I did not know there is another waterfall except Erin Ijesha but now I know.
