I have finally decided that love was never meant for me right now.
I know it sounds strange, but it’s true. I’ve done so much at my age and achieved a lot, and I thought love would complete it all but I was wrong. I feel like what I really need to do is find peace and happiness in being alone.
I take long drives, travel around Zimbabwe, and go out of the country just to figure something out: why is it so hard for me to find someone who is meant for me? Why do I feel like I have to pour everything into someone, only to be left empty in the end? Because of this, I've decided to love myself and choose me.
I have found peace in sitting in open fields, laying on the green grass, listening to music, and enjoying nature. My trip to Switzerland showed me that there’s more to life than just searching for "the one." Instead, I should search for ways to complete myself and satisfy that little kid in me who still has hopes and dreams.
I’m not saying I’ve completely given up on love; I think it will eventually find me in the future. But what I am saying is that before it does, I want to enjoy what the world has to offer and give my heart and mind some peace and solitude.
