YOU ATTRACT WHO YOU ARE
I decided to take my night stroll and I noticed something and decided to take a picture without showing I was taking a picture because it was late and the streets ain't safe but hehe, a boy gonna take a walk to clear his mind. This picture is a little blurry because I had to take it once, hide my phone, and turn it back. It was funny how I was attracted to the light far off and turned back when I got closer. But when I think about it now I picture my life, and the people In my life. I also picture those who tried coming into my life but for some reason, I didn't want them. But above all, I thought about those who never wanted me to be in their life.
I decided to turn back because I knew as beautiful as that place was with all the decorations and loud music and celebration, it was not for me. My street decided to have a get together, I was hearing about it and decided to check it out as I took my stroll, it turned out there were a lot of people eating, drinking, and doing everything people do in a club lol. It's the weekend right now, and I should try to look for a place to chill and socialize. But then I looked and saw the man I've become and the man I wish to be can not be found in such an environment. Moreso, the people I wish to meet would not be in such an environment, so I didn't think twice about going back to where I came from.
What's the need of being in a place where I would have to be looking over my shoulders whether someone is trying to steal from me? What's the point of being in a place where I would be in fear of the unknown full of so many uncertainties because I do not trust anyone? So turning back from this beautiful site was as necessary as I could have it. Somehow this simple picture shows that even the light at the end of the tunnel can be worse than the darkness you've been in, and until you know and are sure of what is beyond you, never bring your guard down.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and like any picture, this speaks the old saying Not all that glitters… the lights were certainly glittering all over, and you could see the beauty and hear the music a mile away, but until you come close and see the activities taking place there for yourself, do not say you want to be there because even dager can be beautiful and kill. My neighbor who went to the party came back crying that her phone was stolen from her back pocket even though she didn't drink. I couldn't help feeling sorry for her and wondering what would have happened if I had proceeded.

I love the perspective you took that one picture too. Yes, even the light at the end of the tunnel can be dangerous. Why been at a place your security isn't safe? One just need to be cautious of where they are and who to hang around with because the world now is evil, no one to trust.
That's right, you don't know who is who
One's safety is very important at all time. In any gathering like that, it is unfortunate that not all the people that attend do that for the fun of it. Some came with the sole purpose of stealing and cursing trouble. If I were in your shoes, I'd done the same. Going back home was a very good decision to avoid regret.
Rather safe than sorry
This is amazing brother, the fact that you recognized the environment wasn't befitting and would not add meaning to your life, rather lessen from it. Identifying a problem and oneself is a sure way to finding a solution
Oh yeah you are right, I glad to have recognized it on time
You have dropped a masterpiece for us here dear friend. Alot of lesson to learn from this write-up. Life goes on, but one constant thing about life is change. As we grow higher, there are usually need for us to change and adapt to new and better things.
Thanks for sharing brother.
Who we are is the cumulation of every slittiest decision we make. You have decide to be your own painter on your canvas and you are doing that beautifully. Because you are carefully selecting all the colors. I know you will be considered as a weirdo, but little do they know that you are only viewing where you can be from where you stand.
Ummm, I never saw it this way, but yeah I agree thank you
You’re welcome. You wrote a good piece over there
