Why do most parents try to form relationships with their kids when they are older like 19- going up?
Growing up taking my problems to my parents was basically a death wish.
When someone grows up learning that opening up leads to being dismissed, criticized, punished, or emotionally ignored, they adapt by becoming private.
After enough “brick wall” experiences, my brain basically learned“Keeping things to myself is safer.”
So when my parents suddenly wanted emotional closeness later on, it felt confusing, frustrating, or even intrusive because the foundation for that openness was never built in the first place.

Old lovers reunited, no regrets.
She thought I was joking when I said “I’ll see you on Thursday” and boi was she surprised.
Back in my A level days, I met this girl at a rugby match. The vibe was instant. We exchanged IGs, kept talking, and the next time our schools linked up… we had our first kiss.
After A levels, she invited me on a trip to the Western Cape with her sister and her sister’s boyfriend. A lot happened in between, life moved fast, and eventually she went off to uni in Stellenbosch.
Last week we were talking and she randomly goes, “I miss you.”
I told her, “I can come visit.
She replied with, “sureeee 😭 can’t wait to see you".
Thursday late afternoon, I'm outside her apartment waiting for her. She comes around the corner, spots me, freezes for a second... then runs into my arms.
And man...I haven't been hugged like that in a while.
No kiss though but seeing her get emotional while holding me felt nice.

From cell service to online shopping it's just a horrible experience.
Go to the VID you spend the whole entire day just standing in a line just to be told you're standing in the wrong line and have to go back to another line.

22M and my dating pool is kinda crappy. I found success at a young age. Most girls that are at the same level as me are really unbearable to be around. Most relationships at this point are just can you cater to my needs and l ain't doing all that.
The moment l try to date outside my dating pool, the whole entire relationship now just revolves around my wallet.
At this point, l am thinking of leaving Zim for a bit and head down to CPT for a year.
