Don’t be ashamed to weep, it’s right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us. Pity those who don’t feel anything at all. Emotions, in my experience, aren’t covered by single words. I don’t believe in sadness, joy, or regret.” Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I’d like to ~have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, “the happiness that attends d~ isaster.” Or: “the disappointment of slee-ping with one’s fantasy.
I cried like no man’s business, jasmine and Maria even ~left the room my friends didn’t care about me they just watched me cry …
they walked in an hour later with plastics for hungry lion.
you saw that guy the way he was eye~ ing you ” jasmine said
he was h0t ” maria replied
those are men my dear, a man that can spoil you rotten not some men ” jas said
I know right ” maria laughed
I knew that statement was directed to me.
I got a call from a strange number I was hoping it was Ray but it wasnt.
hey ” he said
yes, who is this ” I answered in a low voice
Caleb you didn’t save my line ” he asked
why and for what ” I asked
why are you so rude, I just want to be your friend that’s all ” he said
look I have enough friends I don’t nee-d any more friends” I yelled
ok ” he hung up.
what has the poor man done to you huh” jasmine yelled
how is that your business ” I yelled back
my business is you keep crying for a hor-nystupid idiot while a good man Caleb is in love with you and is willing to make you happy ” she said
do I look like I want him, let me be with my hor-nyb©yfri£nd” I said
you are an idiot you know that, the stupid guy you are crying for is busy fv¢king another girl in his room if you want go see for yourself and you are here crying your eyes out, Nye Nye ray nyeee ray ” she said
why can’t you be like maria she is supportive” I said
supportive of what Sharon ” maria asked
about my relationsh!p” I said
which relationsh!p, plea-se Sharon don’t involve me in your nons-en-se I told you the last time that when you talking about ray don’t involve me ,I warned you about him and you never listened to me ,and plea-se if he hurts you cry from outside cause we pay for the this room together and we have the right to peace ” ” maria said so bitter .
you are not fair so I can’t express myself ” I asked
they cl@pped their hands.
express what, why do you act like a desperate bit-ch aaiii” jas asked
respect me plea-se” I shouted
what’s there to respect,? a man who just nee-ds you because he feels hor-nywhen he gets what he wants he goes and you are busy polluting our ears with your noise ” jas said.
jasmine was a no-nons-en-se kind of lady she said what’s on her mind whether you like it or not, whether it hurts you or not as long as it is out.
come here again and start nyee nyeee here ” she said as I closed the door.
I went to sit somewhere and watched people pas-s by it really hurts, that your friends can’t support your relationsh!p. I got up and went to Ray’s room …
hey” he said opening the door
hi” I said
I took a seat and starred at him.
Sharon am sorry that I hurt you, I promise to be the best b©yfri£nd, I won’t hurt you ever again, I was stupid ” he said
I starred at him without altering a word.
Sharon plea-se forgive me ” he said
I k!$$£d him.
we didn’t make love, I had a 15:00hrs clas-s so I left and found the two roomies busy watching a movie. I took my school bag and went to clas-s. I got a text from Caleb.
” I didn’t mean to hurt you or say anything that hurt you, all I ever wanted was just a friend, am new here in Lusaka and I wanted someone to show me around but anyway will find someone else, have a blessed day sweetie”
I just cli-cked my ton-gue.
he thinks am cheap oh plea-se. after clas-s I went to Ray’s room where I even sle-pt

#CALEB
You see the first thing we love is a ~scene. For love, at first, sight, requires the very sign of its suddenness and all things, it is the scene which seems to be seen best for t~ he first time, a curtain p@rt and what had not yet ever been seen is devoured by the ~eyes, the scene consecrates the object I am going to love. The context is the constellation of elements, harmoniously arranged that encomp~ as-s the experience of the amorous subject…
Love at first sight is always spoken in the past tense: I cannot get over having had this good fortune: to meet what matches my de-sire.
I kept on waiting for a reply from her but nothing, am one person who never believed in love at first sight but when I saw her, I knew I must have her, but she was one nut to crack …

being the last born of 3girls felt nice cause I was spoiled; my siblings took care of me started from primary to tertiary nob©dy used to mess with me

I carried you for nine good months, you were one stubborn child that I had to un-dergo an operation” she said

she cried even louder.

I just shook my head and left.
I went to work and it was a busy day at the hospital being a Monday …
