Appreciating people who have directly or indirectly impacted your life in whatever means is what we have been deeply taught at Harvest House Christian Center here in Ibadan, Nigeria by Reverend Gbeminiyi Eboda.
I would have loved to make different post for each individuals so i can say much about them, but i don't want to cloud your timeline and make the essence of doing this post to be lost in translation. I am sorry if i haven't mentioned you yet, but trust me, i will, (because i don't take impacts, value and friendship for granted), i just had to do this first so i wouldn't make my post too lengthy for people to read. I don't just need upvotes, i need you all to read and know that it is totally and absolutely good to appreciate people so they can be encouraged. I want everyone to know indeed that what comes from the heart always touches the heart. I was led to do this and i am glad i did.
This post was inspired by @everlove in her open love note (hahahahaha) to, and appreciation for @alexandravart and i will love to start with her.
@everlove:
You are selfless. I don't know you personally but at this point i don't think i need to before i can see how you have a beautiful heart. From spotting "our Romanian" friend's art and going home with it, to the recognition of her works and glowing praise to her, it speaks more of how beautiful your life and heart is and how humans are supposed to act; selfless, led, and with a heart. "Thank you for being @everlove". You are simply amazing. Keep at it.
@alexandravart:
I love using the word "beautiful" and it is not only in relation to outward appearance but deeper ones. You made me love and appreciate arts more now. You brought out the love i have for arts which has been deeply embedded inside me. It came out to the surface to play hahahaha and it is not going back. I have interacted with you few times and there is no denying the fact that you put your heart into your works. I will say it for the umpteenth time that you bleed emotions into your works. Who would see your artistic works and not be totally blown away by it? You give "life" to expressions in people's heart and you are so amazing, no wonder you always draw the attention of amazing people to yourself; like pole attracts. Keep putting your best in and those arts would gain the massive recognition they deserve. If it was easy, there would be no you. Ease is a threat to work. "Thank you for being @alexandravart". You are simply phenomenal. Keep at it.
@artaddict:
I joined discord and she picked me right up. She gave invaluable advice and she told me to always send my posts to her privately so she can read. That is complete trust to someone you just met and it is borne out of a heart that really cares. She is always busy and might not have time to chat with me as often, but she has never for once complained about the posts i send to her. Steemit really made me come across a beautiful soul like you and he is so proud to have you. Your friendship is invaluable and i am not taking it for granted. "Thank you for being @artaddict". You are exceptional. Keep at it.
@thatindianlady:
Oh! My friend, i really love your real name but i won't disclose it. Have you ever seen someone so free and willing to tell you more about herself without holding anything back? Yeah, there she is! She actually kept me busy on Christmas and i didn't really feel bad for not travelling even though she did. When you responds, i always imagine the excitement at which you send your messages and you apologizing for any slight delay in replying speaks so great about your heart. I love people with good and kind hearts. I just always want to be around them. It transforms me more and more. I want you to know that i am not taking your friendship for granted. "Thank you for being @thatindianlady". You are invaluable. Keep at it.
@surpassinggoogle:
What can i say about this awesome being that bleeds awesomeness? What can i say about his special love for Nigerians? What can i say about his deep insightful long and lengthy post (which he has actually infected me with)? What can i say about his heart and deep connections to almost everyone on this platform? I am so jealous of those who get to see you everyday. You are selfless sir. You sacrifice so much, even your health just to make others better and pour out from the reservoir of knowledge you have. I only ask of God for one thing for you as i type this: "Health restoration" and so be it! Watch it improve. This world needs you. Oh! What depth you have. "Thank you for being @surpassinggoogle". You are awesomeness. Keep at it
@stellabelle:
Giving is not giving until you help someone who might never be able to repay you. I believe you live by that code. Your commitments to creativity is invaluable. Your deep understanding of how you want the world to be and should be is really commendable, and your heart through which all these amazing ideas come from is truly loveable. I see what you do and you once told me a deep truth that you admire creative people and that is why you do what you do. Read your posts and how you really reached out to @alexandravart and i would say i got to know you from there. I love selfless people. I admire people with kind heart and foresight. I am definitely learning from you and how the heart should be always. "Thank you for being @stellabelle". You are selfless. Keep at it.
@swissclive:
I started following your page more after the challenge for 300words you put out, (though i am not really a story writer per say but more of a depth writer, advice giver, speaker, a poet and impact maker). Through your posts it is never hard to see you thrive on making impacts. You love people engaging you in conversations; meaningful ones. You don't like those who try to act lazy or smart. You are really amazing. You love depths, thought provoking comments and not sloppy ones.
"Thank you for being @swissclive". You are insightful. Keep at it.
@debilog:
I was totally touched by your post which was resteemed by @surpassinggoogle few days ago and it is a timely reminder of how bitter people act, how cruel the world can be sometimes and how insensitive people can sometimes, act. For a 23year old, you are strong, wise and have learned so much that has taken others 30 years or 40 years to learn. You are blessed. You are beautiful in and out. Surround yourself by people who truly cares and let go of those who don't. Life is short to be dragged down and surrounded by people who adds no value to you and are committed to only pull you down. Let them wallow in self pity while you soar on the wings of eagle and Grace. No one can tell your story better than you. "Thank you for being @debilog". You are blessed. Keep at it.
@tojukaka:
Brotherly! Have you ever seen someone with so much passion for Steemit here around me as this awesome man? I know of one more but i will talk about him after this. Your passion is indescribable. I recently learned of how you were advocating for SBD to be converted directly into Naira (local currency) and how people really thrashed talk you and all that, yet you held your own and now it is a work in progress. You are bold. You are strong. You have a resilient mind. No one can do what you do. You travel all around just to make things tick and you provide invaluable help for newbies (minnows). They are invaluable. God bless your amazing heart and selfless service to make everyone better and leverage on their gifts. "Thank you for being @tojukaka". You are passionate. Keep at it.
@ejemai:
What an amazing person. Not because i am one of the many people who won his contest in being rewarded with Steem, but i do see his amazing contributions to the course of promoting Steemit. He is not only doing it here in Nigeria and as we speak, on his way to help out also in Ghana. How selfless can one be? He is the other passionate person about Steemit i said i would talk about. You are just too amazing. God protect and keep your paths safe. "Thank you for being @ejemai". You are energetic. Keep at it.
@ponmile:
This sweetly nice being. I met her on Discord and i like people that flow so well with conversations without reading any meaning to it and there she is. She is loaded. You can never predict this amazing talent. She has depth. She writes her heart out and you will always have things to learn from her. She is open minded and amazingly friendly. She is one of a kind and i am proud to have known you through Steemit and that is never going to break. I always cherish my friends. I hold them dear and close and you are one. Your smile can melt a heart made of stone. "Thank you for being @ponmile". You are a smiling FRIEND. Keep at it.
@kingsolo:
Before i even typed anything, i just smiled right now. He told me about Steemit. He went though my blog on wordpress (which i don't use anymore anyway hahahahaha, can you blame me?), and he said while i quote: "You have so much rich and loaded write ups. Why don't you join Steemit?". I didn't hesitate and i am glad i didn't. He gave all the help i needed and his advice are valuable even till now. That is why i always make sure i help everyone, who asks for help about anything on Steemit. "To whom much is given, much is required". I am always willing to help newbies because i know how clueless i was at the start too and you gave that massive help. It speaks so much about how amazing a person you are. "Thank you for being @kingsolo". You are a support system. Keep at it.
Lastly but never the least and i didn't list the names in any particular order of importance but how the name popped up in my head. I love following my heart and that is why i did this post too.
@adejoke16:
Steemit brought us closer even though i know you before, just the "hello" - "hello" kind of greeting. I got to know you closer and without any iota of doubt, you are simply phenomenal. She would go to any length for people even if it means depriving herself. I have friends that they only check up on you once a while but she does it effortlessly and it is mutual because i love reaching out to my friends and she definitely made it easier. Your heart is golden. Your smile is captivating. Your look is dashing. Your steps are gracious. You are like an angel, hanging up from the sky, weightless, dancing on the head of a pin. Your influence spreads like fragrance and that is a great testament to the kind of person you have turned out to be. You do things without thinking of rewards. You reach out without thinking of being shunned. You follow your heart just like me. Adejoke, you are the heart breaking reflection of God's heart for men. That guy has to go through me...serious screening. Hahahaha. Thank you for all you do. "Thank you for being @adejoke16". You are a rare gift, you came to give the world a lift. Keep at it.
You can appreciate people you have come across too. Let them feel your appreciation. We all need motivation to continue to do what we do some times. Let them see what they mean to you and let them see that their efforts are noticed and never in vain. You don't have to be a good writer to do this, just speak from your heart. Like i always say: "What comes from the heart touches the heart".
Thank you all, you are all so important to me. I do see your comments and upvotes, i am NEVER taking them for granted.
Still me,
