Being INEM...

Today is dedicated to my friend, Inem. You see Inem is this guy that dislikes my taste in music and doesn't appreciate my food combination, but I forgive him because he doesn't know what he is missing. This is by the way, so, the reason I am writing this is to appreciate Inem, my dear friend. Before I appreciate Inem, let me tell you how we met.

I met Inem (please forgive me, but I like the sound of his name, so I will write it many times, and also so he can know this is about him) at film school. I have no idea how we started talking, but I am sure he threw a jab my way, and I threw a jab back. We started talking, but took a mini-break, as Mr Inem thought I was snubbing him. We picked up our conversation and it wasn't bad. I guess he must have forgiven me (what a nice fellow).

Anyways, Inem and I spoke more after film school. How that happened, I have never known, but meeting him and a few unnamed others is a blessing I gained from film school. Since then, we have been cool, even though we don't like each other's secondary school, but we are cool. We gist, goof around, look for each other's trouble (he is the troublemaker, and I am the peacemaker), have meaningful conversations, gossip, among other things. This is my appreciation post to my dear Inem. Also, Inem's birthday was a few days ago, and I didn't know. So, whether you like it or not, I will wish you a happy birthday. Happy birthday Inem, wish you all the best you wish for yourself and more. I hope you enjoyed your day. 

Inem, I know some people misunderstand you at times (for example, you know who), just know it happens. Even when you try to explain, they will term it whatever they want. So, be you (but keep improving on yourself), have fun, and keep being cool. To the people of the world, try to know someone before you judge them. Don't listen to others' judgement about another person, because it could be biased or based on wrong perceptions or assumptions. Listen to what others say about a person, but try to find out if it is true or not. 

Inem, my guy, this is for you. Be a good boy, don't do what I wouldn't do, and enjoy your life. 

P.S. I still don't like your secondary school, but we move.
