While I was growing up, I never really had external friends than my class mates and church members, and at that,nit all my classmates were my friends, u just had few amongst all, so I never really had a lot of them, even in the church, I really can't remember all of my childhood friends, well, I still have some around, and the only thing separating or distancing us Is the admission to different school, I mean the higher institution to be precised. That is why I am saying that I don't really have much of the childhood friends around me, even tho the ones I have, that are not always around...
There is this guy in particular, he is about my age, we were given birth to in the same year, but I should be older than him with I think just one month and few days, I was one year like that in the month of August, and he
was also given birth to in one kind of year like that, and was lucky to be a member of the September month.
When we were much younger, we were almost staying in the same area, and so we attended the same pre school and primary school. The person I am talking about, his eldest brother and my elder brother are about the same age, they both attended the same pre school, primary school, the same junior secondary school, and were transferred to the same senior secondary school, but due to one reason or the other, they couldn't make it to the same university, but they still kept in touch...
And so we grew together, and so as we grew, we didn't stay too far from eachother, but still, due to some reasons, we couldn't get to see eachother as frequently as we used to, he became more busy as time went on, and I also got busy with other activities, when we were younger, we used to be the best dancers of our school, he wanted us to be dancers, but my parents weren't in support, and so I went to do other things, and so i became a photographer, and my dear friend continued to be a dancer, and now, he is a well recognised dancing team, where his talent was highly recognized and utilized, now he is earning and taking care of himself from dancing....

We coincidentally meet sometimes at work point, and u have learned so much from him, and he has learned from me as well. I got introduced to his boss by him, a kindhearted and supportive human being, who has also connected me and taken me to so many places here in Lagos, but we are not always together which is normal I guess...
So if he was around, I feel this brotherhood life, he is a family friend, I really love him like a brother, I remembered when we used to eat in the same plate, the fun and the play we used to play, I just so loved my guy, and I miss him so much.
If I had him around, there will be nothing like a dull moment, he took me as family just the way I do for him, I would be so so happy having him around, cause the fun won't end. I remember the last time we had a sleep over at his place, but we couldn't sleep at all, till almost the next day, I just loved the vibe...
