Now I understand that I will never understand"

Let's look at it this way, A man will never understand what it means to be in a space that upholds chauvinistic and sexist policies.

They will never understand why we walk around in fear when you are in a dress 

Why you walk a little bit faster when the sun goes down.

How we feel when confronted with an unconscious bias.

When we take an emotional approach on a matter and instead of being heard someone says "it's because you are a woman " 

You will never understand what it means to be us .

You will never know how the shoe pinches and where.

Infact we are owed an apology for Everytime we have been forced to explain our femininity!!

You will never understand what it is to be us.

Let us be.

Well,if we must ,can we find a human common ground .? Having to explain ourselves is exhausting❤️

Its complicated.

  I miss the moments we had so much. Today I was able to admit something to myself. Five years later, there is a fondness for him in my heart that even time has not eroded. I always feel like I leave and keep wanting to come back for more. They say what you live for you are willing to die for. What if I say that my feelings for him will be the death of me? That is not to say I have not had affection in the wake of his departure from my life. I have met men and boys alike. Some that have worshipped the very ground on which I tread. Some were just curious about their sexuality and I was on a rant to discover myself.in that we were a perfect fit. We would rendezvous and no questions would be asked. especially when one was not prepared to accept the answer. We learnt to accept the moments as they came and surrendered to each other in abandoned want. At the peak of our passion, we all called it what it was, a fleeting moment of passion, non-similar to the previous. But I still searche...

Unveiling the Male Loneliness Puzzle: Exploring Social Circles, 'Alpha' Myths, and More!

Over the weekend, we had a ravishing birthday party. I am storyteller at heart and everything is a story.  The gathering was predominantly adorned with the laughter and presence of women and girls, while the male host had only extended an invitation to a lone friend. This sparked introspection as I considered my own experiences, realizing that, aside from relatives, my father seemed to engage with very few individuals for more than a fleeting moment. I have been on the dating scene for a few years and, a recurring theme emerged among my male friends and boyfriends has been a lacklustre social circle.  Have you see n the clash of titans when Arsenal Chelsea and Man chester united fans meet? It is a total nightmare. In between drinks and a rowdy game, I doubt if they have time to listen to one another, let alone build a meaningful connection Some men attribute their limited social circles to a disdain for ‘ fake ’ friends, while others proudly declare themselv...

Every little moment that passed was more like forever to her, And she wished that she had an opportunity to change what she felt, She wished that she had a prior knowledge of what she was to live with, She believed but it wasn't enough, She hoped but it was more than just mere hope. She lived aimlessly, no purpose, no regrets and nothing to loose. Absolutely nothing. And it was in that point of tears, pain, doubt, confusion and desperation, that he came in, Hoping to be the hero to rescue her distressed self. In an effort to make her happy, he turned her into an insecure mess. The tears he hoped to stop from flowing still kept her pillow wet every single night, The pain that he came to ease was still felt by her, twice as much, The doubt kept killing her from the inside, The confusion made her desperate for a sign of a little happiness, maybe just one more sunshine before it ends. In all her mess, she never lost her hope. She still hopes that in the least expected ...
