Memories of 2023 loading........ If I were to convert these memories to money, I'll be a trillionaire as a have over 30k memories in form of pictures. I never fail to capture any moment I find myself as they'll become my album, my eyes feed. My memories last year sprang from Spiritual, emotional, physical, academical, steemit and otherwise. Don't get tired of looking at these memories.

Are memories play important role in your life?

Memories as a whole contribute to my entire countenance, either as a happy or sad man. There's something about memories that many tend to overlook or not believe at all. There's a saying; Gow can a moment last forever. A moment can only last forever when you take particular advantage of that moment before it turns into a memory.

When it turns into a memory, it may quickly fade off your mind but if you made particular advantage of the moment before it turns to a memory, it will flash your minds every now and then. Memories control my emotions making me subtle to sharp pangs. When I remember things that happen last year, I wish those moments could continue.

I become so happy remembering them especially if it has to do with achievements. Achievements academically, the stress and everything, spiritually, socially and lot more. I'll be sharing best memories of 2023 as all my memories are best. None is left behind.

Share any best memory of 2023.

2023, I had lot of best memories that I can testify to saying, I achieved a lot that year. Little wonder I created a name with 23 attached to it. My achievements were vasts on steemit, physically, spiritually and academically. The below is my little picture album of 2023 as a summary of my life then.

Academically 2023

Academically, i experienced a lot of suitable times, I met lot of people and Shared best of memories with them. I got to meet new friends on my academic journey, people I never expected to be close with. These people served as a source of encouragement to me to keep pushing despite the stress and everything involved in it.

_{pictures of us doing school projects}

This all started when I went for a school project for 6 good weeks. I met people I could call friends especially the guy seen in this picture. He was more like a father to me there as I was the youngest amongst them so to speak. We learnt from each other and did almost everything together. These girls too were friends to me. I learnt a lot from them as well.

On the last day we were to leave, it was so emotional to see them cry as we'll be parting ways. Anyways, we have a group where we'll always reconnect. It was the best of moments I had in a long time. I also got to be close to some of my colleagues and also shared moments with them.

One thing about me is that I love capturing my moments anywhere I find myself. That's the best thing to do I feel. My friends said it's surprising to know I'm an introvert but still become this popular like an extrovert. There's this friend of mine in school I'll never forget.

He always stood by me wherever I went and guess what, when preparing aspirin for the first time in the laboratory, we did it together. I got to know @basil20 and @whizzbro4eva as special friends of mine. They may not know how special they me but I consider them as one for many reasons best known to me.

Spiritually

I achieved a lot spiritually. Given divine education on how to build our lives in relation to developing certain qualities like patience and humility to have enjoyable lives is one of the beneficiaries I had last year. Everything was just so timely. Every scripture I read in the morning teaches me lessons and asides reading the scriptures myself, I got to learn about our creator and why he wants us to live lives that pleases him through weekly meetings with brothers and sisters.

I also got to meet new friends and also made wholesome association with these friends who love a happy God. There's nothing so pleasing as this. Some of these friends contributed to my being an ambivert compared to before and also took me out of my lonely she'll to explore things. They never leave me behind when traveling. I'm always in. From the Start to finish are pictures with friends.

I could also remember when we gathered together to spend time with ourselves, drunk, danced and eat as well. I never missed any moment. I captured it and made the best use of it as well. Even till now, the moment continues because these brothers and sisters are a source of motivation to me.

The first time convention we had after COVID-19 was a great and timely convention because I got to learn about the quality patience and why it's necessary for our happiness in this wicked system of things. Nothing impresses me more than these.

Steemit

On steemit, I had lot of memories of which if converted to money, I'll be the richest man alive. I never joke with my memories as I made good use of the moments. One of such memories early last year was when I achieved the milestone of 2k SP. This was like the happiest day of my life because during that time, we struggled to gather steems. If you could gather 1k SP, you've achieved a lot and has done more than noble compared to late last year whenSbd returned.

Another of such is when I took to Organizing a meetup with all my students in Uyo. This was actually the greatest thing I could ever do to start the year. The meetup was more like an adventure we'll never forget. I got to learn more about my students and also offered encouragement to those contemplating powering down on the platform. They are my steemit family. Another is when I became a dolphin 🐬 on steemit July, 2023. I was so happy that words couldn't express how I felt.

That same year, I celebrated my Second year anniversary on steemit not because I had the money to do so but because I wanted making it memorable. I invited my Steemian friends to the gathering and hosted them well. If you ask any of them, I bet they'll tell you the music played because the memories shared then was inscribed on our skulls.

Being part of a hangout organised by most steemians in Uyo even with the steem representative was such a honour. I felt as though I was in a family who took me in and showed me love. I got to know more users on this platform. Guess what,I got followed by steemcurator01 that year when I was in a class.

After struggling with my Infinity phone, I got a new phone that had good battery capacity, space and camera for steemit. This was actually one of the evidence I showed that steemit is actually a good platform. I also increased my creativity by ensuring my thumbnail is so attractive in a way that reads meaning to my post. The below shows two of my creative used thumbnail..

Hosting training sessions for newcomers was what I enjoyed doing not until I trained and established 30 users on this platform.

Physically

Physically, I attained a lot which includes **becoming social, improving my health by eating good food, attending ceremonies and lot more. If I'm to count the number of ceremonies I attended last year,you won't believe me. You'll probably think I was there for the money which isn't true.

Photographing

Buying a new phone was an added advantage to getting good pictures for diary game entries on steemit. I prioritised the camera on my phone and took to photographing. This helped me improved my abilities in capturing moments as well as cherishing these moments on pictures. I got addicted to sunset pictures in the course of my photographing.

Share any worst memory of 2023.

I had limited bad memories year if I'm to count but most of these bad memories strucked me to my bones. One of such is stress from school. Last year was the most stressful part of my life in school. If I could see the give up button, I would've clicked because I felt school was demanding my life using stress.

I've never been stressed before in my life. This stress brought about lack of focus and change in plans . I also made me unhealthy and sapped the small strength and flesh I had. I also got to weep with those who weep. My friends lost their parents in the cold death. This was so disheartening though.

Earlier that year, I got scammed big time before taking steemit seriously. My scams were through Ponzi scheme platforms. The money lost could buy a land.

Memories are always there to teach us lessons about life. There are available to make us smile in future and become emotional as well. These memories keep me going in life that's why I have refused to let go of capturing moments anywhere I go as these moments when they turn to memories will help a lot.

I invite @whizzbro4eva, @mosestones my G and @vudeme123.
