Blurred Lines: What Is A Real Man

Contestant 1 This guy tells you he is a real man because he fills the traditional male role; he supports his family financially while his wife cares for the children and the home. As long as he provides a roof over their heads and food for them to eat, he is fulfilling his duty as a husband and father. This man doesn’t consider his wife as his equal. Contestant 2 He is the real man because he has a culturally progressive role, he shares household and child rearing responsibility with his wife while they both pursue their careers. He thinks his wife is his equal. Contestant 3 He is the real man because he has been freed from the male stereotypes and has decided to take on the nurturing role of taking care for the children and home while his wife goes to work. He considers his wife equal to himself or maybe even better, since she has more compassionate, sensitive nature than he does. It’s pretty nice how everyone is attracted to one attribute of these three types of hunks. There ...

Being That Woman In Black

Ever felt the need to just be nice to someone to show them that you care and they come back to you everytime and you are not even close to them and share part of your life and tell people that he/she is your friend lol. Yeah that's been a Woman who really abides by the rules she was taught by her parents. You know that women should be respectful, groomed and be good communicators and sit properly but that applied to your future spouse in a way not to everybody. It's time to be that women in Black. It's time to give power to you. Here is what I gathered: Before you do anything put God First 1. Have confidence in whatever you do. Take up challenges and tell your brain that we gotta do it. Say what you feel and don't be apologetic. When you say no to something you don't like just say it, don't filter it. 2. Don't be everyone's cup of tea Okay sometimes I go beyond for people to show that I'm caring and to prove something but one thing ...

Feelings

Sitting at my favourite wooden chair, I can't stop laughing at the fact that this corona virus made me self quarantine myself without waiting on the President to tell me to stay at home. The news from BBC was enough for me to know that this virus is real and its in Zimbabwe. Now it's going to be more like a month without sharing any gossip with my crazy friends at school and no hugs from loved ones and even the people who encouraged me to do better. At first I really felt like this whole quarantine was torture because I started to think of all the chores that may rise when my mother is in the mood of decluttering stuff and even have too much energy to wash all the blankets in the house with the help of her last born(me). I even got worried about the movies because they were not enough for 21+ days. But I started to think that this virus outbreak is bringing something positive as well because I don't have enough time with my family though I dedicate weekends. Dad is re...

If Its Meant To Be

If it's meant to be baby just let it be... I get stuck in a place where I'm not needed most times and I feel okay, I don't feel out of place because sadly my mind doesn't want to accept the fact that it's not your world, let it go. Ever been in a place where you are trying so hard to be relevant, I have lol. I mean I had a crush once and I made him invite me to a church fundraising and when i got there it was so classy and I didn't know why I was there but I had a polo assassin denim so it was enough for me to get through the day. I was someone else everyday. It's hard to be just you and just move when its not right for you. Even if you know you are not a party animal you mingle with the party freaks and then when you are alone, you are like that's not me. But its a trial that you need sometimes. Even pastors preach about it, they say daughters and sons if you find yourself  improving or changing yourself everyday to keep something valuable to you, ...

Being Alone Is Okay

I don't remember the time I sat alone with no one disturbing me. Just me and my crazy thoughts. I have always been around huge masses of people and yeah this made me think a little about this everyday celebrity vibes. Why? I felt like I needed to be around people to feel whole and yes it made me whole. Mingling with people getting their perspective on different things kept me so occupied and I got a lot of blog topics truth be told. I was crazy enough to group these masses. When I'm sad I had people to talk to, when I felt like I needed to turn up I knew the number to dial. When I wanted to be adventurous, when i wanted to be so white lol... people for everything. It felt like a way to escape reality...keeping the good vibes although I knew that life is hard. I even got into situations that were not necessary to kill time and it's a disease because i crave that first conversation where you get a glimpse of a person's life even though it's exaggerated sometimes. ...

Of Coffee Conversation Of Zupco Diaries

If you were having coffee with me I would tell you all that I know and feel about the introduction of the Zupco Bus for local transport. Let's get to it! Out of all the problems we have in Zimbabwe, the introduction of the Zupco Bus for local travels was the best thing but every solution has its first downfalls which made me hesitant. At first I would see people scrambling to get into the Zupco Bus just to save money and women who were wearing skirts in particular were disadvantaged because the skirts ripped, diamonds were shown but the most important thing was being the smart money woman. Some were injured because of the Zupco pressure and I started to think that its better to take the commuter omnibus and put your safety first. Zimbabwean state of mind was creeping in: "Ha makombi ari kudhura, mukuda kuty tiite sei mari haisikuwanika 1 week later "Tingagodii ndoZimbabwe yacho" We complain but get used in the end. Eventually things got better and people starte...

I Celebrate Your Motherhood!

I had the opportunity to experience my sister's pregnancy journey. At first I had no clue she was pregnant until I started seeing changes starting with the hunchbacks and the hard-core tummy and the numerous visits to the toilet lol. The best part about her pregnancy was her cravings, I gained weight and I'm not complaining because her cravings were so tasty. I'm talking about egg salad, fresh chips, marinated ribs(my favourite), chicken, sausages the list is endless. I was on cloud 9. One thing that no one finds amusing when a woman is pregnant is mood swings. One minute she was so sweet like candy and the next minute she caught feelings about the tiniest thing like dishing up late and she didn't want to be ignored on whatsapp, you had to prioritise her only lol. I started feeling like her pregnancy loved me more than anyone else. Her tummy was so big as if she had twins.  As the months passed by, I imagined what it would be like in the labour room...The contractions, ...
