It's midnight, got this recording app and just wanted to share my thoughts. I actually slept off while uploading and woke up to a failed upload.
still 2:40am, so I'm reuploading.
In this recording, i talked about one of my posts. "Which version of you is the best one" I pondered and looked at a particular view.

Cool
Thank you!
The truth is when we are maturing and changing, we know that we are changing, because we can notice how we now overlook the same things that used to get us worked up before. Just like you said, what would have gotten you angry and made you reply actually didn't get you angry this time around.
Even though we can't all see ourselves through our eyes alone, we have other people who can be our eyes, but the caveat is that we can't depend on everyone because some people are not honest. So what I do is I have few friends in my corner who when they tell me I have changed for good or bad I believe them because I know these people genuinely love me and are really looking out for me.
Exactly, this is the part I wanted to hear. We all need someone looking at our blind spots. We can't say because we do certain things, it means we are living our best version.
Thanks for pointing that out and also for listening to the full recording. Means a lot to me.
You are always welcome Sam
sincere i love this version of me, life works in a way that were constantly improving amd evolving , before I use to be timid but now I'm so outspoken and I'm proud of it...
tried watching the video but it shows still uploading and there's no link so I read the post instead ...
great job @somastically
Hehehehe, I used to be like that o
You recorded it by 12:00 am and Uploaded 2 AM past lol. That’s crazy lol..
Congrats on the win first of all. You not replying that statement means you have actually grown, i guess the current version of yourself has changed you big time and from what i see here it has been giving you peace…
Honestly, we are kinda similar lol, the me of the past na angry bird, but now i just wanna do what gives me peace.
At the end of the day, when you change, you will know and the people around you will definitely know.
When you meet your best version, you will be the first person to know lol…
FYI 😂, you spiraled some nonsense in between 😂 bleeeehhhhhhhh 😂..
Yes I recorded by 12. In my defense, I uploaded it, but it failed. Had to re upload.
Tinubu kind?
Just whinning..
Wow Congratulations, I wish I can play chess..
Yeap!! Different version of ourselves comes to play, And we might tend to call it our best version, because of what condition we are in currently...
But the bitter truth is that we as a person knows when we are at the best version of ourselves but may like decide to lie to yourself that maybe that your current self is the best, when you know that it is not...
Well, that part of, who decides the best version of yourself? For me, I believe that I decides the best version of myself, the last thing I can do to myself is to lie to myself and still accept the lie, I know when I'm not to my best, others from outside may speak that some moments are your best, just maybe it favoured them, or maybe they were pleased by those moments... But like I said before, you are the one that can decode your best version.... Meanwhile, best version of oneself should be that is okay my you and not others...
Thank you Mayor, this is detailed, quite nice you break it down this way.
Stop wishing and start learning 😀
That's a thoughtful question about our personalities . The truth is that I know myself more than anyone else ...deep down I know wen I hv changed from a particular habit or not
However, I can attest to the best version of myself and when people commend on it too, it becomes another confirmation
My thought though
So what if you hear from someone "ah you've change o, I like the former you" do you believe or you take time to check if it is true?
It depends on the person saying it and what kind of change he or she is talking about , but overall , I will reflect on it before accepting if it's true or not .
Recently, a friend really made me angry and the old me would have reacted so mean and angry towards her,but then I ignored and acted like nothing happened.
I love the new Favour, because I can control my emotions better and I don't let certain words get to me again.
I decide the version of me.
Thanks for sharing Sam, I enjoyed listening.
Well that’s bold to say you decide the version of you. I think I try to do that but most times, I don’t even know what version of myself is best.
What’s with the new favour? Care to elaborate?
Congratulations on the win boss✌️.
I want to believe being the best version of ourselves ain't about what people say.
We ourselves need to find who we are, we grow, embrace whatever flaws we have. What people only do is to guide or even criticize. We ourselves need to find who we are in all of those chaos.
Thanks for sharing.
💯💞💯
You're welcome. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
Very much welcome 🤗
I can relate to this really well. I think we've all think "this is me, I can't change" but change is constant in human , we changed based on our experience everyday and when we get more occupied with things we never even dreamt of doing , I think it changed out perspective too. So, I don't think we can have a perfect version of ourselves , we are bound to change at anytime. Nowadays too I found myself wanting to connect with people more which was what I hate doing then .
Congratulations and thanks for taking your time to listen and comment.
So you were an introvert before?
My old version is no where close to the best neither is the new me. I'm still going through the process of becoming a better version of myself. Though there are some changes anyway. While the old will reply, react and act on every single thing, the new me takes time to think deep and put a lot of things into consideration.
Congratulations and I'm proud of who you are becoming. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you and you're welcome 🙂
For the fact that we are constantly evolving and circumstances tends to make us change. I think it's safe to say that there is no best version, but we react the best way we can due to our current state of mind and situation
So what happens when people say, they like a particular version of you. Do you try to keep it that way or?
Na, it's a part of you that was born out of something. If they want that part of you, they should check for what brings out that part of you
The ideaology of describing the best version of yourself
It shoudl be left to us to define that or work on that rather than letting me describe it for us
I think I'm in the best position to decide which version of myself is the best, no one knows me like I know myself, people might be thinking oh, this is the best of me or the worst of me at a moment but the truth is at any given point, the only one who can tell when I'm my best self is me.
So what do you say when you hear things like, “you’ve changed o, I use to like the old you better”
Well I might try to assess myself, try to know why such a person thinks my old version is better, if the person is right and not saying that for a selfish reason I might work on myself.
Personal, I feel like I know exactly when I'm doing my best. I don't even need people to say it, I mean they can only notice and tell me but deep down, I know when I'm trying to be better.
Change is something that keeps happening as we keep living. And it goes both ways, you either change for the better or for the worse. Sometimes when I read my journal from years back and I look at myself now, I can't believe I was the one who actually wrote some of the things I read because, the extent I handled some situations then might not be the same way I'll handle the same situation now.
So each time people tell me I've changed, I get curious to know which version of me they met then and it helps me also shaped my view as to whether I'm doing well or not.
This would be an interesting community because I am also a night person. And congratulations on your wins! 🎉
