For a stable and free mind, peace is definitely a necessity. At some point in a person life we all have made sacrifices whether intentional or not but I guess most sacrifices are intentionally done.
So many times have had to give up somethings just for peace to be restored like giving up on arguments I know am very well correct but since they claim theirs is the best, I had to agree but at the long run they always be like she's right all along but sometimes mine is not always the best and am just so glad I let it go. While other times we take blames ment for others as a way of showing our love to them and in my own case it was taking a blame.
While still in my teens, I had this stubborn and nice friend then. After the close of school I was always in her house gisting and playing and if not that we were doing our homework. Her mom had this large cupboard where she keep all the special plates, spoons and cup since they are not regularly used and most importantly they were quite expensive that's why it had to be in a special place. But then the cupboard door frame were made of glass and not the regular wooden door.
On this particular day as usual, she came to my house first and then I followed her back to the house and lucky us the mom went out so we had the whole house to ourselves. During the cause of our childish play, honestly if one should ask me to explain what led to my friend throwing her slippers I can't explain but then she was throwing her shoes around and all of a sudden the heel mistakenly hit the cupboard frame in the middle and that led to a serious damage. You needed to see the kind of tears this girl was shedding,🤣 she was gripped with so much fear that her Mom was going to kill her me on the other hand I wanted to go so the mom will not think we both did it but still at that I never left. I felt so much for her and I stayed back till the Mom came by that time I was crying already with my friend.
immediately the mom saw it and wanted to beat her I immediately said I was the one that mistakenly broke it. Ha... her body melted and couldn't raise a finger on me neither her child since she knew she was innocent. She just asked me to go home and that's all. After I reached home I was busy calling myself a foolish girl what if this woman beat me? Or she reported me to my mom and she dealt with me to the call? and because of that I didn't go to her house for weeks.
Then it was a foolish decision I made as a fifteen years old child but now I only see it as a sacrifice of love and nothing more .
