Last night, I received a piece of news that really shattered me😭😭.
I couldn’t even eat. My cousin had to beg me to take a few biscuits while we were on the phone… I just wasn’t myself.

A friend of mine passed away.
We weren’t extremely close, but we were close during our waec days….that phase of life when everyone is always around each other. After school, we all went our separate ways, and it became the usual “hello, hello” kind of friendship.
But hearing that he died… and it was poisoning…that alone was heavy.

It made me reflect deeply on myself.

I’m not the kind of person who knows how to pretend. If you say something,even if you don’t mean it,but it’s hurtful or carries negative energy, I take it seriously.
If a friendship gets damaged, I usually step back, because I know it may never be the same again.
I’ve lost friends because of this. It doesn’t matter how close we are…once I start sensing jealousy, competition, or negative energy, it doesn’t sit well with me.
I will walk away.
I’ve even walked away from someone I loved deeply… a friendship that meant so much to me. And honestly, it can never be the same again.

Maybe it’s because when I call you my friend, I’m all in. I will pray with you, stand by you, support you emotionally, and even financially when I can. You can ask people who know me😒I don’t do half friendship.

But the moment I feel like your words or actions carry harm, negativity, or threaten my peace… I walk away.

No explanation. No pretending. It’s just over.
Life is too fragile.
And this news reminded me of that.
Protect your peace. Choose your circle wisely.
