• The first Owner of this NFT will get a real life Portrait Drawing of themselves (#Tangible NFT) • Every buyer of this NFT will get a real life portrait drawing of themselves (Coming Soon...) “This piece reminds me of an incident that really hardened me, and made me realize something really peaceful, I was already late on delivery for this piece, but something happened that even delayed me more from not completing this piece on time. It is this incident I’m about to talk about that caused this delay... I normally use my phone to draw, but in this period while drafting this drawing the cable to my phone spoilt, so I could not charge. Three days before that day, I sold my power bank and was saving every money I had to get a bigger one, so literally I had no dime on me. My phone eventually died, I went outside to look for people who used an iPhone cable, but at that period everyone around my school area had gone home for Holidays. I spent the next three days going round my area and calling friends if any of them had an iPhone cable, but no one had. What was even more painful was that I could easily source out a solution on my phone to get money and buy the cable but something so simple as charging my phone just to do this simple task seemed impossible. Eventually reality hit me hard, I couldn’t take it anymore. It was not only that I had a drawing to complete but I also needed my phone to study, make research and read books. Not doing all of that for three days made me Insane. I had to use a friend’s phone to call home and lend money. So I got money, but it was late at night. Most of the good shops they sold quality cables had closed. But because of how dire the situation was I checked for the less quality shops around. And that’s how I met this man... I bought a cable from this man’s shop, I got home and boom to my surprise it wasn’t working properly. First it was not charging my phone fast and secondly it was constantly going on and off. Nahh! I wasn’t going to settle for that. But It was already late, I had to wait till tomorrow. The next day I immediately called up my bro to accompany me to the man’s shop (Lol, we didn’t plan on going to fight if that’s what you’re thinking). We got to his shop and we told him everything, and reasoned with him. So he listened and gave us another chord. We tried it right in front of him but yet the same problem. We were at his shop trying about 12 different chords but still the same problem. Next thing this Man resolved the issue to my phone being the problem and not his chords “No way Man! the previous chord I used was very fast and wasn’t tripping off constantly” I said to him. I reasoned with him and told him to hold about 20% of the money I paid for the cable and give me the rest. It was fair to me because he took his time to test almost all his cables for me, but it was not certainly fair to my friend who was raising his eyebrows trying to tell me I should collect all my money back. Lol I noded back to my friend to tell him ‘Relax!’ I and the man went back and fourth for the next 10 minutes. Soon enough it occurred to me that I was talking to a block. He was not just ready to return my money! I got very peevish, I dropped his cable on his desk and stormed off. I got home and my bro asked me why didn’t I at least take the cable rather than leaving him with the cable and money. And honestly he was right, but I knew if I had taken that cable I would have been so mad that I settled for less. And I wasn’t ready to contend with that extra anger. So I literally resented the man, I was livid, irritated and boy did I feel scammed. I mean did he even know the hell I been through the last three days? I even had to borrow money, and look I’m still left with nothing!. I cooled off hours later and had a clear mind to think on how to get a cable again, because I still needed it badly. The only solution I could think of was to take out of my money I was saving up for my power bank. I had to break that rule not to touch money I saved up. So I got a new cable and I was good. 4 weeks later I was walking with a friend one dark evening, and we were taking a path that crosses through the man’s shop. Lol I didn’t want to see him with my eyes. I kept a far distance just so he couldn’t see me, but next thing I saw someone smiling, waving and calling out to me. It was him! I turned back and I saw a big smile on his face. He was applauding me and saluting me because of the girl I walked with Lol, I smiled back and waved back. Very strange I thought, he doesn’t hold any contempt towards me? Doesn’t he realize I was angry with him?. Lol, Man moved on while I still held a grudge against him. I got home and I noticed I started smiling about the situation. That was peace. I think I might have understood why he acted that way that day. He had a small shop, he was struggling, he probably had children at home and he probably hadn’t made a sale for about 7 days before I came. Maybe that wasn’t the case, maybe I was wrong but I believed it, I had to. I loved how that thought made me feel peace in my chest. Then I realized and made a theory, maybe the easy way to forgive is to make scenarios in your head that makes you understand why a person might have wronged you. Yes you might most likely be wrong, but... aren’t you damn tired holding on to that grudge? Don’t you want peace? I think your best shot is to believe a thought that makes you find peace rather than believe a thought that drowns you in anger.“
