🙌Celebrating my birthday the steem way..🙌 #5 steem reward pool plus more!!

[tekadii]

Hello FAM!!

@tekadii here feeling excited and a little bit anxious about today ( I don't really know what to expect). It's a really special day for me and I'll be appreciative of your well wishes..

Big shout out to my friends celebrating their birthdays today too!
Do indicate by comments if today is your birthday.

Yeah! it's been an eventful quarter of a century for me, a lot has been learnt (and is still being learnt). I can comfortably say "I KNOW".

I know what it means to feel loved and give love

I know what it feel like to succeed or fail

I know what it means to endure injustice and prejudice
I know what it means to be heart broken and broke
I know how extreme anger or overwhelming joy feels like
I known the feeling of denial and betrayal and distrust
I know what it feels like to be lonely
I know what it feels like to be in the company of loyal comrades
I know what it feels like to loose someone or something
I know the joys associated with child birth and newborns
I know the feeling of great pride and prestige
I know the feeling of great lack and poverty
I know the feeling of responsibility and manhood (not easy)
I understand what it means to be stranded
I know what it means when someone says "I'm hungry and without hope of a meal for the next day"
I know that life is a journey
I know we are the master architects of our lives
I know that feeling of pure and crude selfless love for a loved one

I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, EVEN BETTER!

The last score and a quarter of a score years of my life has been an experience indeed, and I have a lot to be thankful for!

SO LONG AS I EXIST, THERE IS HOPE.

So in the spirit of love and sharing and giving (the steem spirit) I've decided to mark today with a contest for 5STEEM!!

yeah! It's the first contest @tekadii will be organizing (I wouldn't call this a "real contest" though) lol.

Quite simple a contest I must say, all you have to do is make a Comment (resteeming is optional).

lets get to it!

"Contest Rules":

• Its my birthday, so your comment should be in line 😁
• only one comment per individual please
• no specifics on how your comments should be written ( it could be a poem, a story, an advise, a wish, etc) if my blog has affected you in anyway, I wanna read it!
• Original, realistic, thoughtful, and creative comments are an added advantage (do me a GIF if you want!)
• considerations on entries will end 24hrs after this post.

special considerations;

• will be given to minnows (with less than 40% rep) that follow me (before this post was made)
• comments with high number of votes (I'll let you be part of the jury by means of your votes on comments). Your vote on your comment don't count.
• if resteemed...... (Just indicate)

Prizes:

1st prize ----- 2.5 steem
2nd prize ---- 1.5 steem
3rd prize ----- 1 steem
(There will be "runner ups")
Awards will be given on or before the payout day of this post.
I will be using an "offline" judge too 😉

special Appreciation

A lot of credible steemian come to mind here, most of whom without I would not have come this far ( I must give honor to him who is due)

Big ups to @ejemai, @surpassinggoogle, @futurethinker, @samiwhyte, @freedomexists, @pangoli, @hiroyamagishi, @stach family @credo family @steemgigs, @promo-mentors,@gmmux, @hr1, my current 200 followers, my current 100 following 😁... And you reading this post.

Happy birthday to an individual i'l call "kind hearted and humble" my first month on steemit was somewhat frustrating, because the individual that introduced me here, quit steemit 2days after. then I dived into Facebook to randomly search for people using steemit, and guess who I found? @tekadii. has a reputation of putting smiles on the faces of people, he'l always tell me "Patience!! you'l need a lot of it here" that kept me going. we havnt meet before, but I see how you put smiles on the faces of a lot of individuals on steemit. Thanks for being you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY @TEKADII

[tekadii]
