Food Fight Friday - Let me introduce Amanda

in #fff6 years ago

Food Fight Friday is back, that's great! In fact, it's better than great… it's awesome.

However…

My post this week may not be a food fight in the traditional sense, but it is food fighting. See, I met Amanda. She needs our help. Amanda is fighting for her dreams. Please… let me introduce you.

This is Amanda… Amanda Rin

Amanda desperately needs our help. Amanda is too proud to ask for herself, and all she wants is to fulfil her dreams of being the best she can be.

Life started out as usual for Amanda. She would spend her days happily growing amongst family. Then, when Amanda was just about six months old, there was a massive tremor.

Amanda and her sisters fell from their home. They were taken… carted off and separated in to things that Amanda later learned were called crates.

After losing most of her sisters, Amanda was worried. She had no clue what was happening. Then she felt the crate she was in being moved again and began to panic. Poor Amanda was panicking so much that she passed out.

Abandoned by the wayside

When Amanda awoke, she found herself abandoned. Her sisters were gone. She was stranded.… all alone.

Although Amanda was stranded and alone, she didn't complain. No… instead she dreamt of what she could become. How she could be part of something so much bigger and better than she is.

Love the creativity here!! This is one of those posts you just have to read all the way to the end.
Poor Amanda, definitely needs our help.
Ok I got a challenge for you. Next Friday i want to see you make a dessert using mandarins or oranges. Not bought-made by you only. You up for the challenge? I might have a little something for ya

Umm... but, but...

Ah, I'll see what I can do... no promises!

You got this!!! LOL

Haha… @sivehead not skipping a beat, he comes out to food fight Friday swinging! I love this post- super creative, fun to read, and best of all it has a moral to the story. “You too can be a part of something bigger than yourself. Be like Amanda, be a smoothie”. Haha… love it. Big applause to Mr. Funny Guy 👏👏👏. Keep me coming and welcome back to triple F :)

Thanks @puravidaville. It didn't turn out quite how I wanted really. It was supposed to have a link to some sad music and a few other bits. Due to a problem with my clock running too fast, I ended up rushing it a bit.

You did great… I’ll re-read it with sad music playing in my head… it’ll be the same thing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey, @sivehead.

Amanda Rin, eh? I came across a similar situation years ago, before the Internet. This fellow had the unfortunate luck of being named Mortmorency Cherry. People called him Mort for short. He was kind of a sour guy, so he didn't have a lot of friends.

Same kind of deal. Hanging out with family and extended family for many months, then suddenly shaken and conveyor belted into trucks that took him far, far away. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long to become all he could be. The former Hostess Company gave him his own fruit pie.

Sniff.

So, dream big Amanda, and stay strong. We're with you!

Amanda RIN! Amanda RIN! Amanda RIN! Amanda Rin!

That's great. I'm happy for Mort. But i wonder what he might of achieved with a little help from the folks here at steemit.

He might of been on top of the world with Amanda's cousin - Tanga Rine
