If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? Interesting... I have never really had thoughts of being someone else but maybe a different location,nationality and time. I have imagined how it had felt being Griselda Blanco after watching and reading her biography. Crazy right, The boldness and the courage , she had made me question my self. My thoughts are that if I had grown up under the circumstances ,would I had been able to acquire half of the things she acquired.

Little forms of I love you It does seem like nothing right but of all the gifts Thandiwe Rejoice Shoko brought for me this one captured my heart. She said 'uchiri kunwa tea , I brought you these.

My mother always made sure whatever food we had was to be shared equally nommater how little it seemed. When we were young , she used to give us a full cob of corn so we would share. Then she would be like 'agura zvisiri fair ndiye anowana chidiki.' We would put in effort to cut the cob equally knowing very well if we do not do it the right way you get the smaller portion....

Sometime last week while I was scrolling up and down on X formerly known as Twitter, I came across the above tweet. I thought to myself should I get his contact, call him and fully explain to him how important every success is. I was on my way from the passports office when I read this tweet . Excited, I had called my mother 'haa musikana ari kufara, atora passport nhasi.'...

The first time I met her I wondered what had happened to her stomach. Why is its so big, unshaped, bulging in her tshirts. I didn't say anything to her, I only got confused on why her abdomen was that way. Now that I think of it ,I feel bad on why I had not asked. Still it would have been inapropriate and disrespectful....

I told my friend how I spend my days when I am at my lowest. How I go to a restaurant order ice cream, have some scoops whilst reading a novel. Some days I listen to music and take a walk to buy roasted mealies at my favorite spot Cnr Glenara and Chiremba. It makes me feel better and mostly this helped go through my hardest times....

This time we sat in silence. The atmosphere sombre, tense. Our faces expressionles, our hearts heavy. '5 more years' we whispered with a sigh. We watched events unfold like in a drama series. Our voices whispered more, our thoughts left somewhere in a closet. It did not matter how we felt, we just accepted the outcome. We spoke boldly to each other 'one day, only one day a miracle will save us....

Winter nights are my favourite, my cup of tea, electric heater and warm fuzzy jersey.A silent breeze helps me cool down after a busy day. Today am quite disturbed somehow I can't silence my thoughts. My dislike for red, the color and red flags got me overthinking.Mostly it was because of the latter that I thought to myself how do we ignore redflags so much that we end up in situations that we would have avoided....

How are you, how are feeling today. The past days have been really tough for most of us. Its been a roller-coaster of emotions. I went from excited to confused, anxiety and panic attacks in two days. In as much as one would advice that it really doesn't matter, you can't help but think but it does matter to me. Falsely we start acting strong and unbothered, which adds more to insomnia....

Fresh from college, seams bursting with hope, I was excited....

If you read the right you would think its the rim used to design a pot, cup or wheels. Well trust me that's not the meaning. According to the Free Dictionary it means vulgar slang to perform an*****us. Yes right am just as shocked as you are.

I love it more when I meet someone who can make me laugh. Laugh so much that my ribs start hurting, I can’t control myself. To laugh so much that I can’t hold myself, I find myself on the floor curling trying not to lose my grip. Oh how I love those moments. Have you ever thought of those who have made you laugh, who enjoy seeing your tears dropping off your eyes because you have been told a good joke. How sour life would have been for all of us if it weren’t for those who shared their humor with us
