Me: (Peeps) … then whispers
I have seen it.
It is black; It is white
It is curved; It is straight
It is very plain; It is very colourful
It has a bit of mystery to it. But if you look closely, you will see it too
Yes, I have seen it.
I remember a time in my younger days, precisely in high school, as a Nigerian, we call it secondary school. I move around morosely in my search for the most beautiful thing so that I can appreciate it too- as apparently, many other persons seem to have found it. And in my search, I got scorned by my colleagues because I couldn’t see that which they have seen. Eventually, I found something within the pages of my books and took them more seriously because it was a big distraction and gave me solace. I haven’t found the one I really craved, but I was happy even though so I haven’t found the most beautiful thing yet.
The secondary school life was over and I had to do a diploma. I joined in the class an almost everything was new. New faces, new classes, new environment and I even had a new bedroom because I was staying away from home. It gave me hope that I would find my new thing here. Eventually, I found something, again. This time, someone. It felt new. The experience; exhilarating. And then, suddenly – at a point, I had to stop. The adrenalin surge, that was all it was because I just knew I haven’t found the most beautiful thing; at least, I thought to myself, If I find it, I would know. So I kept looking for the most beautiful thing.
At this stage, I am getting grown. And still in search. The harder I look, the more mysterious. I have been hurt. And I hurt people too. I have known sadness, and I have known happy times. I have felt love, and I have given love. Yet, like Kid Cudi;
I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that’s shine ain’t always gonna be gold (hey)
I’ll be fine once I get it, get it in, I’ll be good
In the end, that’s what I will be, but until you find the most beautiful thing, you really would not be able to describe it. But while looking, don’t settle. Just remember to breathe and appreciate the good things that come your way. I promise, the feeling is worthwhile.
The most beautiful thing, to you will differ from someone else’s. You cannot force it on yourself. Talk of someone else. Some persons think they cannot get mushy over things and they are very controlled. Well, check your self well; hunku and hanty, search under that place you are covering, ehn ehn, that place gan gan. No o. Not that one. Ehn, ehn, yyyes! You have finally found it. That is the most beautiful thing.
It’s a season of love. That may be “The Most Beautiful Thing”. Lol
It is money… hahaha
Stop it, you play too much… It is Debonair’s Pizza (Covers Face)
More seriously, you may think that you have found it until fresh yearning/s tugs at your soul. you are not abnormal. It is what keeps us going as humans. As economist say, the want of man is insatiable – incontestably true. Well, to me. Someone has a different opinion. I have found beautiful things and I am grateful. But, I am still searching for “The Most Beautiful Thing”.

I don’t understand this 👉Yet, like Kid Cudi;
Beautiful write up…only that I disagree with your mystery.
Seriously ? Money?

Money, to some, is the best thing of this world. To others, maybe the the stars. The Most Beautiful Thing can be anything. And that’s where the mystery comes in since it is bound to “change”.
Kid Cudi sang a song “Pursuit of Happiness” which I took excerpts from – I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know; Everything that’s…
At this stage, I will recommend you read it again. This time, a bit more slowly. I appreciate your time. Please read other posts. Thank you Mohammed

Sometimes the beautiful things can be found in the most unexpected places. And sometimes that thing we seek is right there infront of us but we are blinded by certain expectation we put in our heads.
