SEC S5W6 : My Bestie | Sharing Some Moments with my Bestie.

Greetings fellow friends on the Hotnews community, and it is a great opportunity for us to participate in week 6 of the engagement challenge season 5. Talking about besties is a unique phrase that we often use to refer to those we hold at heart ❤️. For the challenge, I will be talking about the one person I can call my bestie ✌️✌️.

Most often people will refer to you as “my bestie” but I am always skeptical of people around me. As the saying goes, “the heart of man is wicked”, and because I cannot determine what is coming from your heart to be true, I do not make friends anyhow. That said, let’s get into the business of the day.

Explain to us how long you have been acquainted and when the acquaintance began.

The only person I can refer to as “my bestie”, is @diangold. We have been acquainted since June 2021 till date. How it all began was when it happened that we both worked at the same institution before I resigned.

She was first recruited and she has been working for one month before I came in. She was to work as a GBV response officer while I worked as the GBV prevention officer. There was no way one could concentrate only on response or GBV prevention.

When I came and shared my ideas on the first day of work, she was excited and we developed a strong bond with each other.

When it was time for GBV response, we both were actively involved and when it was time for GBV prevention, we both did work together.

Apart from work, we both shared common character threats and understood each other well. We never had any disagreements because we both took each other for whom you are. We both do not judge but we give constructive criticisms.

I share my issues with her and she equally shared her problems with me. We both advise each other in the best possible way we can when issues arise.

Why do I feel comfortable being friends with her?

She is a hard-working lady who loves to be an independent woman and not act as a liability to anyone. There are lots of people who come closer to you just because they want to depend on you for everything. I hate being around such individuals and I think this has been one thing that has kept me closer to her.

I am someone who criticized a lot not because I want to prove a point but just to be certain of the correct responses. I am an inquisitive person, and I think the reason why I raised more questions when discussing with someone. My friend at times will criticize and interrogate me just to get the truth. At times people even asked us if we studied law at the university because we talk like lawyers.

We both are hungry for knowledge because we both believed in the power of Knowledge. We both believed that information is power and we read a lot to be informed. Remember the saying that, if you are not informed, then you are deformed.

We both do not like blabbers and hate those who disrespect others. I do know that blabbers turn to talk with unjustified facts. I feel more comfortable being around her because everything she says, is with facts.

Common Things we both Shared.

As I earlier said, there are lots of things we both shared in common which I think are what has made us acquainted. Our dislikes and likes are common.

First, we both like to help vulnerable groups, especially women and girls. Our passion for women and girls is quite common. We can do everything possible to protect vulnerable groups in society.

We both do not like socializing with people we do not know. If you are a secretive person, then you will not be closer to us because we both give you distance once we noticed you.

As I earlier mentioned, we both dislike blabbers because we believed they talk with unjustifiable facts.

Conclusion.

It takes a lot to build friendship and also to call someone “my bestie”, you proved it to me with your actions. @diangold is that person I can confidently call “my bestie” because her actions have proven she deserves to be called bestie. I have come to the end of my write-up and will invite @majerius, @saxopedia, and @tebohfaith to share their thoughts about their besties with us.
