The Queen In The South: Happy Birthday @jeline

Will your friends fight for you, if they hear you won't fight for them?

But as for Joyce Ibia AKA @jeline, she's worth fighting for, and she's worth everything. When I joined Steemit as a newbie and struggled in my early days to understand how things work here, Jeline was among one of the few persons who held my feeble hand, and guided me through the path.

I met this beautiful lady in the Uyo Steemit whatsapp group, the first day we chatted and I introduced myself. I remember her saying, with a diluted form of excitement or surprise, "Oh, you are Joshua Etim! The guy that wrote about Animal senses. That post was undervalued, it was a great post. Come, I'll show you a discord group to join and someone that can help with your kind of contents".

I remember how I felt that night, I felt good. It didn't bother to me again whether I got the deserved earning on that post or not, as much as her reaffirming words of appreciation for the work. Coming from a total stranger I got to chat with for a first time, meant more than anything.

And that's what is dying here now. "Engagement!"
Joyce is beautiful, intelligent, accommodating, respectful, compassionate, hardworking, friendly, committed, forgiving, loving, composed and highly resourceful.

A proud daughter of Nsit Atai and a Queen in the South. We've shared so many wonderful moments and memories together, but the most remarkable of them all was her decision to join me in a steem powered school charity project, I initiated tagged, "Products Of Help Initiative", a project focused on providing educational support materials to school children.


This gorgeous and sweet lady didn't just volunteer to join, she gave her resources, time and energy into it. She made it count! She was committed towards the success of that project as if it was hers.

That was a noble deed, the reason why I call her QUEEN. Thank you Joyce for that particular moment, thank you for believing in me, thank you for standing by me. Thank you for "wasting time" on me, I don't know if I was ever worth it.

It's your birthday, it's time to contemplate history. The past over two decades of your life might not have been a perfect journey but I'm certain you are on the right path.

And even in the midst of your uncertainties and struggles, here is a friend letting you know that you are just fine and that this process is processing you for good. You're launching into the real world as an engineering graduate, and there's no better time to experience greater succes than now.

Your life has just started to mean something more. Something inspiring, something fulfilling and something unbroken! You've been my crush, my friend, my sweetheart, my Air-clinic radio goddess and my bitcoin princess. I'll keep "wasting time on you", you are always worth it.

My brother @lordjames has asked me to pray for you today. As a father would pray for a daughter and as a husband would pray for his beloved wife.
May this Birthday herald another year of successes and dreams come true for you. As you mark your birthday today, May your kind never fall or falter, you will not fail. You will succeed. May you not marry wrong, that you'll be breakthrough in your career and all your endeavors.

Happy Birthday jgsgfeyutgsbih, the Queen in the South, God bless and keep you.

I don't love you. I'm looking for a word stronger than love
