Some of you need to be serious when you pick life partners because you can't be talking about l already found my soul mate and you've only known each other for 4 months.

Miswai 😭🙌

I was planning to meet up with a mate in the UK, but his visa application was declined. The embassy tried to verify his employment by calling the contact listed on his proof of employment, but no one answered the call. Because they couldn't confirm his employment details, his application was refused

It feels strange watching someone you once looked up to slowly drift away, knowing there's nothing you can do to stop it.

You spend your whole life trying to make them proud, working hard so that one day they can look at you and smile at the person you've become.

Then, as you grow older, you find yourself watching them slowly fade away.

It's like standing beside a fire that once roared with warmth and strength. A fire that seemed eternal. But now the flames are gone, replaced by a few glowing embers and the ashes of what was once something great.

And all you can do is sit there, remembering how brightly it used to burn.

You start looking back, wondering if you did something wrong. Was it something you said, Something you should have done differently.

So you search through your memories, hoping to find an answer. But instead, all you find are moments of laughter, lessons, conversations, and the memories you built together.

The harder you look for a reason, the more questions you uncover. There are no clear answers, only the echoes of better days and the quiet realization that some things change without warning, no matter how much you wish they wouldn't.

Life is strange sometimes

On Thursday, I was in Harare, l was flying out and asked one of my mates if l could leave my car at his place so he could come and pick me up when l land. He's like, that's cool.

His girlfriend came along for the ride, and after they dropped me off, I said my goodbyes.

Fast forward to Sunday evening. I get a text from a random number

"Heyyyy." I ignored it.

A little later, another message comes through "It's... just wanted to ask how your trip is going."

At that point, I figured it was harmless, so we chatted for a bit before the conversation died off.

Then she decided to revive it.

Her next question was

"Are you seeing anyone?"

Uhhmmm l haven't opened it, but yooooh l am just gonna pretend like l didn't see anything

I was talking with a girl at Carpe yesterday, and after the show, we exchanged numbers, and l noticed she gave me her UK number, and l said you based in the UK or something.

And she hits me with the l fly out in 2 days😭😭😭 for fuck sakes l can't win in this life......we spent the day together today ahhhhhhhhhhh we had a great time but the fact she's going to be just another status viewer.

Fuck this shit, and someone just km.

Everyone l was supposed to go with just bailed out on me. Will anyone be there or wanna meet 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.
