---

Greetings friends hope you all are having a blessed day, welcome to my blog which I will be taking part in a contest about my past self organize by @wilmer1988.

Sometimes we cry when we remember the days we laughed, and laugh when we remember the days we cried, it is just a simple fact of life.

---

Life will start with pleasantries but as it proceeds it turns to an agony which sometimes you'd which you never came, my childhood days makes me regret ever growing up but coupled with the principles of growth and development we can never escape it no matter how hard we try

---

---

I remember the days when I was still a kid, I remember how nice and simple it was when I got everything I'd ever wish for and going to school was fun because it was like a crown 👑 prince which my dad will always ensure that I get all the fancy things in life.

---

I remember when this picture was taken, it was a passport picture for my report card, I was so young and innocent, we had a perfect family with the best brothers in the world sometimes I'd wish that I would just go back to those days when life was just simple and things were not this hard.

---

---

Fast-forward to the days I started facing and experiencing life on my own, this picture was taken a few years back when I was in college, growing up I had everything I ever needed and life was simple, but on my journey to adulthood it was tough.

---

I remember in college I realized that I was alone which I had to fend for myself as well as my educations, my dad had stop taking care of me over some one thing or the other and all of a sudden I found myself on the street loose and free.

---

The picture above was when I started going for a daily pay job in the street, it was a road construction work and the memory here will always remain, I remember that day since morning I didn't have anything to eat so I went for the job and I worked since that morning till evening and the contractor extended the payment till the next day complaining of network issues.

---

The hunger I faced that day was hectic and terrible I will never forget that day, because that day I realized that I was alone in this world.

---

---

Now the last picture as seen there are two people in the picture which is me and my brother @edidiongeffiong, the picture was taken a long time ago and that happened to be one of the last moments I had to spend some quality time with my brother.

---

I was happy as you all can see in the above picture, I was all smiley, but it's not like something happened, nothing happened it's just that life chooses to separate us all in the name of hustle.

---

I miss the good old days, I miss the days of my youth and I also miss the days that I would have my brothers around and we all would laugh, eat and smile together as a family
