THE BEST I CAN BE
I wanted to feel among, to do what others do,
So I can feel like others, and mix with others
Time again and again, I failed
Because I am me, and the best I can be IS ME.
I was at my company party, the night after the valentine. It was a disco kind of party that started on a low key but gather momentum to become like a standard club. With alcohol flowing like water, smokes going up the heaven like on the days of tabernacle, IT SUDDENLY DON ON ME that I don’t belong there.
It was a fun filled night though, it ended up turning to a nightmare for me. Though everybody in that party loved me and respected me for my discipline, I cant help but to admit that I don’t belong there.
The following morning, I met a Canadian lady(a colleague) that boycotted the party to find out why she didn’t show up at the part. I then realized that she was absent because she didn’t belonged there. And, she successfully saved her night.
The lesson I learnt from this experience is that no matter how much I tried, the best I can be is me. THAT WILL I BE. What about you?

Seun! You tried that once and you came to that conclusion before now, I'm surprised you had to do a double-check to affirm that!
After so long, welcome back.

I wonder what made you feel most like you didn't belong there. Was it really a spiritual reason behind it all? I ask because so many times I remember enjoying a night out in Las Vegas, NV which usually ended at a club. I remember the feeling of not feeling I belonged there. I felt as if everything in front of me was not really real and I hungered for the real thing behind the booze, cigs etc.
