Perfect Timing Or Perfect Calling>> Hive-Reachout Weekly Prompt 103.

Hello fam🤍

There was a time in school when I was having a rough patch with someone I considered a friend, because of the way we related I thought there was something like friendship there, I actually thought we got each other's back coz as for me I knew I got her back and there was no way I was kissing and tell (ermmm that's if you understand the proverb), but then this same lady would go at my back and paint me black Infront of others but when she sees me she would be all lovey dovey and even calling me her sister.

I got to know about how manipulative she was after a whole semester of knowing her, the thing is I wasn't looking deep enough to want to even suspect anything because I wasn't looking that direction, I would say I was learning how to trust her not until she broke it all into pieces, she wanted what I have so she did all means possible to get me out of it so she could get it, omoh my heart sank when I heard that she connived with others to protest against me being in a particular position, human beings can be so funny because when looking back at what she was fighting for, it wasn't worth it for me actually, it wasn't worth loosing a friendship, well maybe it meant nothing to her then.

Well I was hurting and I can't lie it took time before this hurt could subside even after I have told her my mind and all of, but my perfect timing came when I called one of my lecturer that I am close to, infact I call her my momma and she calls me daughter, I had to relate this with her coz I needed prayers which comes with peace, I also needed direction as to whether I was doing the right thing by cutting her off even though it's for awhile or probably forever, so when I called we talked at length, she had to share experiences of how her own family members betrayed her and did all sorts of things to her, as I listened to her sharing her story I just had this inner peace and conviction, at some point she was even saying "so sorry that I am taking much of your time boring you with my stories, but I just want you to have a glimpse".

After the stories she advised me and told me that the world is just like that but we need to build boundaries because not everyone actually wants the best for you, not everyone you wish well wishes you well as well, not everyone that smiles with you wants the best for you, after what seemed like a forever call I then knew how to handle not just her but her kind of persons, I started greeting freely with her and smiled but then it wasn't the same anymore coz I had built walls that she couldn't walk pass through it, my momma was the saving grace of the moment and I wouldn't stop being grateful.

Much love from this side, thank you all for your time.
