Dear Mum.

So sunday was mother's day (which everyday is supposed to be), I knew a new post was at hand, but the laziness just couldn't fade away. Now am writing this letter, letting her know its never too late to appreciate her.

Dear Mum,
            I am siting on my bed thinking of all the things you have done for me, and I know God has blessed me for placing me in your arms. I know I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I love you, you are everything to me. I remember when I was younger and i'd be in the hospital for days, and you'd be by my side. Praying to God to keep me with you and not relenting in faith. I am grateful to you and would forever try to make you proud. You have raised me and my siblings to believe that with God anything is posible, and I want to thank you, because you have never been proven wrong.

I love you mother, and I hope I never get tired of saying it. You have given me stability and you have showered me with the good things of life. Can you remember the day I told you I hated my life and what I have become, and the fact that I have disappointed people and vice versa. You said the most beautiful thing to me, you said if "God hasn't forsaken me, why would I." I thank you everyday, because I know that the things you give me in life, isn't mandatory, but you have gone to great lenghts to making it seem like it was compulsory to have them.

Like every other family, we have gone through our ups and downs, but you try your best to keep us grounded and appreciative of life. I know i'd buy you the world someday, because you deserve it. You deserve all the good things in life and more. I thank you for everyday, for seeing my imperfection as perfection. You look at me everyday with joy, love and kindness. Mum you are the greatest. You have been the glue of this family, keeping us together and striving hard to give us room to reaching our goals. I love you mum, but I know that God loves you more. Thank you.

I can feel you praying for me every minute, I know that's why i have such an abundant life in me. I want you to know that I promise to make you proud, and you'd never a day regret the things you have done for me. I'd straighten my ways, and be more understanding to the difficulties of life. I'd never forsake the ideals you have taught me, and i'd live my life through Christ, just as you taught me. God grant you life, to see what i'd become. Because your values you have imapcted on me and God's will for me, shall never depart from me. Thank you isn't enough to say how grateful i am to you. It really isn't enough. I LOVE YOU Mama, and i'd never for a second doubt your love for me. God be with and keep you for me, because you are My Life, My love.

Yours sincerly,

Hadiza.

I know my mum takes the crown for the "World's greatest Mother", she has been my rock, and I have been extremely grateful for having that bond with her . Have a great day people.

Aimer!

Friendship: Awesomeness:)

I opened up my laptop, and as usual the slide show began. Lots of pictures of beautiful people, and then a flood of thoughts and memories started playing in my head. It was sort of a bitter-sweet feeling, because most of these people I hadn't seen in a while or don't even talk to anymore. I could feel my heart beating fast, emotions welling up, and the only thought in my head was "You are blessed, You have an endless list of people in your life". As I was adjusting to the happiness that filled my heart, my very profound human reality hit me, and all I could think of was "half of these people don't even like you". I was overwhelmed with sadness, and then my emotions moved towards indifference. It just felt like too much at that time. Looking for something else to distract me, I started surfing the net.

As time went by, I still couldn't shake off the feeling. Then I decided to face my demons, went to the picture folder, clicked and started going through the pictures one by one, letting my brain assimilate and flood itself with endless memories. I realized my life was filled with bliss at some point and sadness at the other. But still i know that I have had so much fun with people it shocked me. There were actually a lot of great and Awesome (Hence the title) people out there. To me, I see friendship as accorded to those who create it, who live it, who inspire each other, even across boundaries, give each other spirit and encouragement and learn from their collective experience. Friendship is Life. We meet people with differnt behaviors, likes , looks and so on everyday. And they inspire us, even though we talk less with them or of them, or have been hurt by them it was all a learning experience. Whether or not they are still in our lives.

Human beings are totally and completely Awesome. I know i have enjoyed every single day of my 21 years and its because people were involved. I know i have some pretty uber cool friends, that make it their lives goal to make me happy and sometimes its totally unintentional. In my brain is a lifetime of endless bitter-sweet memories. To me that is God's personal gift to me, and I would not have it any better.

So this post is dedicated to everyone I have met, you have impacted my life greatly even without you knowing it. I Love you, whether we are still friends or not. And I thank the Lord everyday for you, and I hope He keeps putting smiles on your face, just as you did mine. God Bless!

Here are a few Friendship quotes, for you to ponder on and appreciate the people around you

True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."
- Charles Caleb Colton

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
- Anais Nin

"My friends are my estate."
- Emily Dickinson

 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
- Bible: Ecclesiastes

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."
- C. S. Lewis

Life is totally beautiful, and its that way because people are in it. I doubt you'd enjoy an Island alone if there was no one to share it with. Have a blessed weekend.

Aimer!
