So sorry about your friend, may his soul rest in peace. Sometimes we don't get to say words we would like to say but I want to believe that some words unsaid may have been heard somehow so just comfort yourself with the fact that your friend has gone to rest.
I will like to mention my younger sister here... She's almost everything you mentioned above to me. She can be very inspirational to me in the sense that she always tries to do her best and Laziness is never in her dictionary, I love that so much about her.
Here is her picture, a beauty I was blessed with as a sister and she's worth so much to me than I can say. I have so many plans for her and one of them is bringing her to Hive to explore and impact some of her knowledge too.
If I were to tell my 20 years old self anything, I would ask:
Why didn't you take your pre degree program seriously? Things would have been different if you had been more serious and be happy about the privilege you got. Well, my present age will right all the wrongs as I am working towards learning from my mistakes and becoming a better me.
That's all, I wonder what a 20year old engager would say for that option 2 question 😂 just wondering
Aww, what a nice thing to want to say to your sister. I hope you call her and tell her today, let her know that on hive you spoke well of her and that you genuinely meant it. I think it'll make her feel nice and I think also it'll make you happy.
Hmm...On the 20 year old self comment...I guess as 20 year olds we don't take things as seriously as we will later on in life; that's the way of it for most anyway. As you say though, as older people we can work towards a better understanding of ourselves and the things around us, make amends for mistakes of the past.
Probably not something as wise they will come to wish they'd said 20 years later as a 40 year old.
Great comment! ✅
I'll sure do call her and trust me when I tell you that she would be like "Awwwww thanks sis 🤗" and that always gives me joy.
I kinda played with my 20years time and I regret some things I didn't take seriously but I'm learning and growing... That's just fine
Thanks for the compliment sir 😊
Not many people have got some great siblings who will stand and support them when they are down but yours is a different case. Your sister is a rare gem and deserves the accolades you have poured out today. I think it's better you let her know how much she means to you.
Yeah, I'll let her even see the comment as well 😊
Thanks for agreeing to all I said about her
Sure. Let's keep engaging. There are more interesting eavesdropping responses today.
Yeah, can't wait to read more of them... I'm so ready for them 😃
The compliment is well-deserved. 😀
🤗 Yeah yeah
Your sister sounds like a great person. A true beauty indeed. It's nice you appreciate all.that she is for you. Pretty sure she'd love to hear you tell her.
Some opportunities we let pass us by and wish she had done some things differently. On the bright side maybe you won't be who you are today if you have done things differently.
😂😂He/she will most like just advice themselves right now or advice their younger self
My sister is the best sister I'll ever have, I'm very proud to say that... Thanks for your compliment dear.
You are very right about this dear, I can't imagine how life would have been if it were different... Better or worse? Anyways I'm still grateful.
Advising himself or herself would be better 😂
Awwwwww that's really sweet.
That's the thing, we can never really tell. All the decisions we made both good and bad got us to where we are today and if we're happy with where we are then I think it's great.
Yeah, and I am happy because I got to know a lot even if not academically 😊 and I'm still growing
That's great
This is where I say las las everybody go dey alright
😂😂 indeed
So today, I'm missing my sister. My baby sister. I can certainly understand the sentiment...
You know? I have come to the knowledge (late in my life) that it took every single thing I did or did not do to get me to this point. And right here, right now, is pretty damn good all things considered.
And that is all that matters sir, feeling almost no regret at the end of everything you did and didn't do
It may not be all that matters, but few regrets is certainly a good way to live a life.
That is true sir
Do you live apart with your little sis, you can make video calls often and check on each other, just making you will feel closer except for physical distance, that's what I do when I miss people so much.
Yeah, we live a long ways apart. She just got a 'not a flip phone' in the last couple of months. She was in and out of the hospital and covid protocols prevented her boyfriend from visiting so they got new phones.
I really miss her because she passed away just exactly a week ago. A very bright light has gone out of my life.
😢😭😭😭. Oh no
Am so sorry about her demise.
The pandemic kept family and friends apart and now that everything is going away, not been able to see your loved ones hurt the most.
Be consoled dear one.
Yes, it's not too late. As long as we still live we always have the chance to make things right.
It's kind of you to idolize your sister. I have always been fond of siblings sharing love.
That is it @mrnightmare89 i chose to be happy with my decision in the end and find ways to keep this happiness growing
Your sister sounds amazing.
To your 20 year old self, I'd say - Is this what you really want to do? Do you really want to be here? Was there something else you'd rather be doing? If so, what is it, and go do that, and do it with gusto. Otherwise, make this happen, cuz it's the only "here" you got!
That's it dear, it's only now that we've got so we got to utilize our now and become better in the unknown tomorrow
Your sister is a beauty, and it sounds like she is a truly beautiful person, too. You are lucky to have her in your life! As for your studies, just know that you are not alone. The university years are often somewhat wasted. People should have a college training program so they can truly make the best of those years. But kids are so happy to be exploring new things and new friends that they often don't make optimal use of the learning opportunity. It's great that you are working to become your best self, @merit.ahama.
Indeed ma'am, I'm just so glad I found out a lot of things that have been putting me into shape despite my negligence during that age
Wow you're sister sounds like an amazing person!
I like your words to your former self, I think a lot of us would like to tell ourselves to take things mor serious or to work a bit harder haha. I let some things slip as well and now I'm like whyyyyy
That's just the sad truth about our past, we tend to make mistakes and take things unseriously
Yeah but then the reason we had so much fun in our twenties was also because we slacked on everything haha
I guess a lot of people have this question. What course were you going for?
Your sister is so beautiful. You know there are some people that are just everything in one person.
For me, its my mother.
I wanted to study medicine and surgery but I think everything spoilt from my pre dregree program where I couldn't go for the course anymore.
Mothers are almost every ones favorite
Hope you know, its not too late.
I studied medicine and I am done. I finished 11 years after graduating from secondary school.
If you want to go for medicine, pursue it
If it will make you happy, go for it
😂 I know it's not too late but it seem I don't have the fire anymore... So I'll just go with next one that makes me happy and excel in it too
My dear.. Anything that makes you happy.
Me wey dey the medicine no too happy.
Las las school na scam
😂 Stop naw, after 11 years? You've got to find what makes you happy in it and make us proud... Our doctor 😊
Your sister is beautiful and once you are opportune to be with reasonable caring and loving ones you feel on top of the world.
I have seen sisters full of hatred for each other and a twin who wouldn't let her sister borrow her mobile phone just because her is bad.
Lots of love and regard to your sis.
That is so true, sisters go against themselves so when we find the true ones... We should cherish and love them more.
Thanks for your kind words
Thank you for introducing your sister to us. It would be great to see her here.
Unlike you, I took my study serously in my 20s and I was stress so much about it. I was worry about everything. I wish I could be easier to myself.
Wow what an opposite 😂 let's just make our present and future better and be happy
Agree. Let's live our lives to the fullest <3
😂 So funny, maybe they should do that instead
