I don’t fall apart where people can see me.
That’s why they keep piling more on.

She’s my ally. She’s also Exhibit A.
Turns out loyalty has fine print.

In my culture, the groom’s family asks the bride’s father for her hand.
My dad’s been asked 5 times.

Two weddings, two failed engagements… and one courtroom ‘I do’ I actually loved. Turns out, marriage is the real story — not the wedding.

🧷 Telling my truth doesn’t make me innocent.
I’ve said the wrong things. Reacted poorly.
But I’m not here to be flawless — I’m here to be clear.
I’m holding the pen now.
No more letting others tell my story.

They say growing old is a curse. Wrinkles. Grey hair. Aunty jokes.
But now I understand:
To grow old is a blessing.
Not everyone gets to.
Not my father. Not the people we’ve lost too soon.
He never saw retirement. Never saw peace.
I hope he’s somewhere better now.

They only see me now — calm, quiet, controlled.
They don’t know how hard I fought to burn my rage down to embers.
They don’t know I’ve survived worse — myself.

I’m not a chihuahua.
I’m a fucking wolf.

I’m done.
Burnt out, overworked, and pushed past my limit. Mistakes happens.

They don’t see the exhaustion.
They don’t see the weight.
They only see something to pick apart.

Some friendships don’t end. They just… reveal what they always were.

People should come with warning labels.
Fine print isn’t just for contracts. It should be for personalities too.

From lovebombers to compulsive liars, to men who couldn’t pick a lane — I dated them all.
