🍮🍮 Celebrating a Birthday 🧁🧁

Hello steemians all over the globe, warmest greetings to you all🤗

It's @owulama from Nigeria and I'm delighted to join this wonderful contest organized by @afrinn in this noble community.

It's a wonderful contest and I love to share my participation in it.

How old are you? At your age, what do you do to keep yourself happy?

I am currently 21 years old. To keep myself happy most of the time, I do a few things that really bring me joy. I love reading books, and I also enjoy listening to music a whole lot. Music has a way of lifting my mood no regardless of how I am feeling.

Sometimes, I go online just to watch funny reels on social media, and that always gives me joy. I also like chatting with people who matter to me. And honestly, just chatting with certain people can make my day. There are a few people in my contacts who just know how to cheer me up with the way they talk and I am grateful for the gifts of those few people.

How do you celebrate your birthday?

I usually celebrate my birthday in a simple but special way that really means a lot to me. I always start the day with prayers, just thanking God for the gift of a new year.

Then, I also like to buy snacks and juice for the kids in my community, they come around, sing a birthday song for me, and pray for me, which I really love.

Later on, I go out for a birthday hangout with a few of my close friends. We just chill, have fun, and enjoy the day together.

And what gift would you be most happy to receive from your family on your birthday?

Honestly, I will be most happy to receive something thoughtful, like any gift of their choice, a gift that shows they really know me will make me happy and Will be much appreciated

It doesn’t have to be expensive. It could be a book I have always wanted to get but haven't gotten it yet, a piece of jewelry with meaning, or even just a birthday cake because I love to eat cake so much😁😊. Anything that comes from a place of love and effort would really make me feel loved and happy.

What food do you like most on your birthday? And tell us in detail about the food?

The food I love most on my birthday is yam porridge and beans. It’s actually my favorite food, and most times, my family makes it specially for me on my birthday because they know just how much I love it.

The yam is usually pealed and cooked with beans, tomatoes, peppers, onions, spices, fish or creyfish and palm oil. As it cooks, everything blends together and cook into a sweet yam porridge and beans.

The soft texture of the yam mixed with the beans gives it a really comforting feel, and the flavor is often superb. Yam porridge and beans is that one meal that will always make my birthday feel very special.

Thank you all for stopping by🙏🙏
