RE: Adeyinka’s Apartment.

in The Ink Welllast month (edited)

So many good memories made together. You developed both characters nicely. Just being in his apartment made it hard. Sometimes we need to make things anew so as not to be reminded constantly of the ones that we care about and who mean so much to us. Adeyinka is clearly a very good friend of yours, and you miss him a lot. I hope the two of you are still friends. This piece was a bitter sweet reminiscence of a very good friendship. You had a great solution to the internal conflict you were experiencing - wanting to do right by your friend and look after his apartment but also finding it so hard to do with all the memories jumping out at you every day. Thank you for sharing this story from your life with The Ink Well.

I really do miss him alot. I can’t deny that. I hope some day he shows up again so we can have a long conversation. But I won’t allow those memories weighed down on me.
