Your Losses in Life
What have you lost in life that made you cry or feel distressed? Could be inanimate or animate. Narrate your experience
Phone' i lost my phone three (3) years ago and its hot me a lot, i cried so much infact i feel as if the world has come to an end, and that feeling alone left me in a deep thought all through that day, month, and year and also several sleepless night's i was so confused till it almost make me as if i was mad, some times i lost my appite and food no longer hungries me to eat and it always makes me lonely, frustrated and confused.
It wasn't easy for a young teenager like me back then i started experiencing life without phone, it was so lonely and sleepry, you know just as many says phone is your second partner and it was hard for me at that time because i started thinking on how to get a new phone in other not to make me think too much and also not to feel angry, not to feel sad, not to worry too much, and also not to make me feel as if the world is coming to an end because i still have more years to live, so i started working in other to buy a new phone i struggled.
I suffered untill God helped me and i bought a new phone then no more worries, no more thinking, no more loosing appite for food, no more sleeping like a pregnant woman, and no more confused. And life became normal again, but then i realize that it's hard to forget something you love preciously.
Did you blame yourself for the loss or were you meant to lose that thing? How did the losses affect you?
Although i will say i blame my self 50%(fifty) and it was also meant to lost 50%(fifty) why because on that bad day i was the one looking for where i will charge my phone knowing fully well that the area am staying nepa light not just nepa but also both generator, solar, and infact no light at all, it's hard to see and if we see sometimes it's once in a blue moon so it's my fault 50% because my phone was 80% and that the day was weekend so i wanted to make sure that it's 100% so that it will last me throughout the weekend, but it was not my fault 50% because when charging the phone i was checking it constantly but then when it's time for me go home then phone was no longer there, and i was shocked so also everyone.
And the place we were charging our phones was just beside the back of the chair i was sitting and immediately i borrowed one of the guys that were there and i was calling the phone, it was ringing and the phone was not in silent mood so it was ringing but i did not hear anything then suddenly the person that stole the phone responded but before then when they all realize that my phone was missing they ordered everybody to remain in the club because i watching football on that day and then person responded and when he also realize that the person calling him is the owner of the phone he stoled immediately he end the call so when i tried to call him back the only thing i was hearing was the number i dille is switched off i tried and tried but all to no avail. So u see it was my fault 50% and also not my fault 50%.
Were you able to let bygones be bygone or are you still in pain for the loss?
Yes off course but first off all i will say it was hard, very hard but i was able to because all this things are material things. And secondly i realize that all that matters was life because there is saying that says when there is life there is hope so that parable gave me strength and hope that it was not my life that i lost but my phone, and also our people usually say that a foolish person is better than a dead person so i was able to let bygones be bygones.
What advice would you give the public who may have lost something or someone precious to them?
The advice i have for them is that those who lost something so important is this always learn to understand that all things u are seeing here on earth are material things, and also it's not the end of the world for u, just as we men says the downfall of a man is not the end of his life so it's not the end for you.
To those who have lost someone precious to them same thing applies for the only thing precious to us is our life our Loved one's, so any of us that have lost something so precious like maybe ur your mother, father, brother, sister and relation i know and also understand but as we always say God almighty knows the best for us i know it's hard but also remember that all of us will die one day (lost something so precious to us one day).
That's the ultimate price we all have to pay as humans and i pray that God almighty who is our heavenly father will give us the grace, strength, and mind not worry too much over something and also something so precious to us which we have lost.
