I was figuring out my messy and complicated life when this man just walked in and decided to tear down the walls I have built. Initially I resisted but after a few days I realised he was just as stubborn as me and would not leave. My life is still a mess and complicated but…

WITHERED LOVE
I grew my love for you. I took my time and nurtured my love for you. In the innermost part of me. It was a beautiful garden filled with care and warmth. Then gradually we fell apart. This garden started withering. My love for you started dying. Memories scattered. We became bitter souls. Deeply wounded….
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: TOO BUSY FOR COMMUNICATION
It is so frustrating chasing someone you love and who loves you but will not stop. The reason is because he/she is busy. He/She is so busy, you hardly receive messages or calls from this person in several days especially if you do not live together. Initially it is easy to deal with their lack…
I AM A COWARD!
I am a coward! I hate to admit it to myself, but it is the truth. Lacking the courage to do something that is right or running away from something you can deal with because you are scared is being a coward. I have been running away from so many things for a long time….
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: BOUNDARIES
I have spoken with several friends and all of them said that boundaries are vital in every relationships. They set boundaries in all their relations. Boundaries are important. They are there for good reasons. If we do not put boundaries in our relationships then there will be no differentiating between the relationships in our lives….
HELLO LIFE!
For more than a decade, I had this fear that I was definitely going to die young and in the same manner like someone I knew who was very close to me. I was scared to die young and leave behind everyone I love. I tortured myself with this fear and it dictated how I…
TOO LATE … LOVE
One of the worst feelings is when you meet someone who is so amazing and in love with you but you do not feel the same way. This person makes you feel so special and is almost or exactly what you are looking for but you just cannot reciprocate that love for him/her. Sometimes you…
FRUSTRATING ASSUMPTIONS
I absolutely hate it when some people blame their job, family, race or their past when you want to end your friendship or relationship with them instead of their personalities or something they have done wrong. When man is interested in dating you and you turn him down then he says, “Is it because I’m…
HOMO JUDGING
I was at the beach when I saw some young men in their underwear having so much fun playing games. They did not care about what the rest of the world thought of them. It is very refreshing to see men or boys play and have fun without people around labeling them as gay or…
NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING DIFFERENT
I have stopped trying to make the people I meet understand me. Things get worse when I try to explain myself and most often our friendship does not work afterwards. With time I have come to accept that I am different from most people. This has taught me to be able to endure loneliness and…
TEMPORARY RELATIONSHIPS
One of the most painful things to know is that the friend you were so proud to show or tell everyone was embarrassed to tell his/her friends or anyone about you. You only meet in secret and gets angry when you tell anyone about him/her. You cannot even put pictures of him/her on your social…
NIGHTLIFE VS ME
When I was a teenager, I thought my mum was being harsh on me when she would not let me go out at night to have fun. I had a curfew and I hated it. She is very protective of me. Now I live on my own in another city without my mother’s overprotectiveness. I…
