Two Years of Friendship, Seven Months of Silence and a Reunion That Made Us Stronger.
<p> Two years ago, a man walked into a pharmacy to buy condoms, thinking he was just making an ordinary purchase. Little did he know that the pharmacy girl would become part of his story for the next two years. </p><p><br/></p><p>Yes, I was the pharmacy girl. 😂</p><p><br/></p><p>Somehow, we started talking, laughing and getting closer. What began as an ordinary encounter gradually became a friendship filled with memories, gist and feelings that weren't always easy to explain.</p><p><br/></p><p>But our story wasn't all rosy. </p><p><br/></p><p>He was into movie and content production but one day, I saw some women's belongings in his house. My mind immediately started connecting the dots, especially because I already suspected he was cheating and whenever I confronted him, he kept denying it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Anger, assumptions and unanswered questions got between us. Before we knew it, we had gone from talking to spending seven whole months in silence.</p><p><br/></p><p>Seven months of no normal gist, no regular conversations, just distance where friendship used to be.</p><p><br/></p><p>But somehow, life brought us back together.</p><p><br/></p><p>Today, when my friend reminded me how we met two years ago, I couldn't help but reflect on how far we have come. From a pharmacy encounter to a misunderstanding that lasted seven months and finally, a reunion that gave our friendship another chance.</p><p><br/></p><p>Our story is not perfect and coming back together doesn't mean every question has been answered. But it reminds me that sometimes, reconnecting gives people an opportunity to understand each other better.</p><p><br/></p><p>Two years of friendship, seven months of silence and a reunion that became another chapter in our story. 😂</p><p><br/></p><p>Now Tell Me: How did you meet that friend who went from being a complete stranger to becoming part of your story? </p><p>And have you ever had a misunderstanding that almost ended your friendship?</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
