THE TRUTH

As much as people come here to read this little piece, with the commendation I get and the heads up, this whole diary haunts me every day of my life since my last post. Yes, I am a very private person, I keep my affairs very private, I'm struggling to open up to anybody around me,I don't have a confidant or someone I tell everything, not because I don't want to but it is difficult for me. I'[m not an introvert, in fact I am a talkative and throw bants alot but no matter how much I talk, there's a big boundary between my private life and normal everyday gist. I know you will be thinking I should see a shrink, well I am considering that when we start "building pyramids with caterpillars not with niggas" this time around smiley.
Why did I say this whole diary haunts me? As a result of some factors, my face became 'faceful' and no more faceless for me on this forum because some peeps could relate to my story as I write it here and some figured who I am, some made reference to it.
Of course, some commended me for a job well done, and they would love to read more, that is sure a very good source of motivation for every normal person but if you read the first paragraph you will discover that it is a huge problem for me, tell me I am not normal, I know too. I just prefer Forbes to Hollywood.
Now, why am I back here? If I decide not to write here again, nothing will happen to me, and those that are inspired will get inspiration somewhere, infact they will be a source of inspiration to people somewhere, someday but guess what, I will end being the greatest loser. I love writing, I want to write more, I want o write what is in my head down every seconds and hopes it makes sense and when those shitty writings helps people in their everyday life or pursuit, I will be the happiest person on not just planet earth but on the whole planet of the world.
I went for a rehearsals today and I was having a random discussion with a young lady in my group, suddenly she changed the topic of discussion, she told me she notice I visit nairaland very often (shhhh! don't tell anyone, I am addicted to nairaland, even in the church, toilet, class, trust me I'm always here before going to bed, it works as a good sedative for me as well,unfortunately, the front page is getting messier by the day).
Okay back to the young lady, I told her Yes, I do.... She showed me her phone and she was on Nairaland as well while we are chatting. Then I asked her the section she visits most, she said mostly on front page and the travel section too, then I asked her what is she doing in travel section? (I shouldn't have asked) She said and I quote " I just love reading about experiences on travel, there is even a guy on this Island sharing his story on the Island, I don't even know why he stopped" I was shocked, I tried to curtail it and told probably the person is busy, but probably because I was proud of that little diary that has been haunting me, I had to tell her I was actually the one, I denied almost immediately again (that faceless factor), she was confused and decided to argue that I am not the one; we eventually resolve on a bet for lunch if I am the one or not, I proved it to her and she is owing me a Lunch smiley. Yaaaay!!! At least the diary is coming with gains lol ...
More so, I added few people on my BBM list that I met on this forum, we barely chat and sometimes I don't reply his message after a long period of time but whenever he chats with me, he charges me and encourages me to come back on the thread, I think his moniker here is "Dreamcome2ru" not sure about that though.
My plan is to come back here Summer and write a very long comprehensive piece and maybe just deactivate my account and run away for life but that encounter I had with that young lady and the pressure I get from the bro I met here is making me take that bold step of coming back here to make sure I update this thread as much as I can.
However, I will prefer not to go into personal details a lot for now, at least y'all should wait for me to see that shrink wink, but I would love to entertain questions, from anybody and from any area of life, I will be glad to give the truest and concise answer. I will update this thread as often as I can, I am sorry for not coming on here for a long time and I am not indispensable, I was only busy with internal battles and sincerely I was busy with school too but that is not an excuse.
Hope y'all having a great weekend. cheers!

Hello, I think you are a good writer. You need to write more often. I just read through your thread, and even though I have no interest in studying further(I am a graduate), I read because it was interesting.

@ mctolspell, I really appreciate every bit of your story. You know who you are and how the story hurts you. But for me, i dont see why you should feel anything. I started reading your story while in Nigeria because i was processing my visa to study abroad. I wanted to see the struggles and the good side. I can relate to everything you said here. From the standard of education to the girls. lol. Life as a foreign students is not a bed if roses except maybe for peepz in the UK and US. I just want you to know that you arent alone in this struggle. A whole lots of students face the same ish. DO have a great day bro.

Yes I am. So far it's been good, the environment is good for learning. Though there are distractions but if you know what you want then you have less to worry about , combining work and school is tough hence it is advised you have a reliable sponsor.

Thanks for your prompt response! Pls I have some questions to ask

1. Like what distractions are there?
2. You are in what sch and what course? Undergraduate or post-graduate?
3. If undergraduate, what qualification did you get admitted through- O'level, A'level, OND etc?
4. What difference does someone coming in with A-level gets compared with someone coming in with O-level?
5. How much is tuition, on-campus accomodation, etc per year?
Thanks!

1. Fashion, illegal business, even football.
2. Girne American university, undergraduate
3. O'level
4. No idea
5. Depends on department, my school accommodation is expensive compared to living in a standard apartment outside. Campus accomodation is paid as 1 academic year and summer. That is 8 months for 2 semester which is 1500 euro and summer is 750 euro

At your school or in any other sch within Cyprus, have you come across any physically challenged student, I mean using a wheelchair?
