Our Story!

We all have been through one drama in our lives, for some of us, it's been stages of drama. Today we think we have had all of it but then a different drama plays out. For some, it has been the relationship drama, family drama, marriage drama, academics, un-employment, should-have-been best friend drama, disappointment, and so on. To some, they wonder why they have to go through these horrible phases, almost like a cycle. They start a new routine today, it looks interesting, everything seems just okay, happiness sips in and BOOM, back to the very beginning, it goes down, pain comes in, nothing seems to be working again, the used to be good time turns out sour and now, we are back to square one.

A senior friend of mine, beautiful, classy, intelligent shared a story with me just last week, quite disturbing and touching. I met her some years back during service year, I realised she wasn't so friendly with guys, she was always on the edge, always irritated, always arguing with them. She could take some kind of insults from ladies but not from a man. I summoned courage and asked why she was always quick to anger and she told me a bit of her story, and it boiled down to disappointment. Apparently she was in a long relationship, both families knew about it, there were promises of marriage and future, only for her to realise he had a family outside the country. Years after service, she stayed single, no job and after three or four years, God blessed her with a good job and she had to relocate. Life started to take a different shape, she had a reason to be happy again. Just few months after relocation, she found this hunk (permit me to use the word) who made her life and stay in her new environment even better. Interestingly, she got the whole zoo in her stomach and not butterflies this time, she was so excited about it. This is the same lady who never changes her Dp for anyone, her Dp on bbm was all about her, her family, her best friends and a few of us (chosen friends) #winks, but it was new, she always had his picture on her dp,hmmmm, my friend was in love. She called me some months back to tell me how interesting her life has been, how she prays I find my mr.right soon and that moment came, you know that moment, we (ladies) always wait for, the "will you marry me" moment, oh yes, it came through, and we were so happy, pictures rolled and hey, it was a new beginning. 

Fast forward to a month after that day, wedding dates for the traditional and the church wedding fixed. Wedding gown ordered for, wedding IVs printed. And then I got a call a week ago, "Clare, it has happened again, the devil is at work. He just post poned the wedding indefinitely, I am so tired, im back to square one......" 

 We all have our stories, we have all felt pain in one way or the other, sometimes it feels like we are running round circles. But in all of these events, we need to stay strong, keep trying, learn from every experience and move on.
