Love Behind The Curtains

Love Behind The Curtains ~ Was it LOVE?
Over the window, I saw Love, behind Mom's Curtains was the hidden heart full of love. Love for her, love for the queen. Love that remained lost and hidden in my heart. Beyond the curtains, there lay my love.

She was hardworking, waking up each morning to wash the dishes across our house, Tinna was the queen, and I was the prince, the prince who sacrificed to clean the house each morning, just to have a chance to rush to the window, to watch Tinna. Each time I saw her, my day was complete. My glance at her, re-energized me, the glance gave me hope, hope that Tinna was mine, hope that Tinna and I could make one hell of a family, hopes that remained just that. HOPE!.

How unfair can the world be, each of my morning only gave me a glance at Tinna, each morning I hoped she would look at me and smile, she would look at me and blow a kiss, just like they do it in the movies but each morning the devil won, coz each morning she only washed the dishes and never looked at our window, and I was left to continue doing house cleaning. My mom was always appreciative, her grown up son was finally responsible, waking up to do thorough house cleaning, my poor mom, how I wish she knew how much sacrifices I was making just for a glance.

My dream was for Tinna and I,  to once hold hands together like small kids, that I could whisper in her ears and say, "Baby I love You" "Baby you mean the world to me" "Baby you are my love" across the sea shores, just the two of us. We against the world, we against all of you, we against them.

People say "never give up" but sometimes giving up is the best option because you realize you're wasting your time.But for Tinna I was ready to waste my time each day each morning till she smiled at me. Then one day I woke up, rushed the window, unknown to me Tinna's family had moved to a different town, I watched through the window, hoping for the best, hoping for her smile, hoping for that holly wood air kiss, but Satan had won again, me by the window, mom behind my back, I  heard my mom's voice, thank you for your hard work son, but Tinna's family moved houses yesterday.

Tears down my cheek, me against the world, I had lost my jewel, I had lost my love, my heart was gone, my hoped dashed away, no more morning window glances, no more Tinna for me, the Devil and the gods had conspired against me, I had lost Tinna, I had lost love.

Then it occurred to me that in life, there are three C's, Choice, Chance, Change. You must make the CHOICE , to take the CHANCE if you want anything in life to CHANGE.

The only hope for me was and is "People who are meant to be together will find their way back to each other. They may take detours, but they're never lost''

If you get the chance, reach out and tell them how you feel. Let them know, if you don't, someone else will or they will move houses and you wont find them.


"Love behind the curtains, Love that never was, because beyond the curtains, no feelings were expressed"

Mind Games. Just Who Is In Charge? ~ Diaries!

My Diaries 1. Author: Bree.K From my diaries, about Mind Games, and how the modern gal and the modern dude wanna control each other... Let me get this right, so what’s bae? Is it an acronym that stands for ‘ before anyone else ’ or the shortened version for baby or babe? (according to google). This word lost meaning to me after my last encounter in a  situation-ship , lol, let me just say the last encounter with a guy I shared most of my teenage memories with. (You know those stupid happy lovey lovey moments, when you are this hot high school gal, that every Tom, Dick & Harry is yearning for?) Story for another day... to be continued ... Back to mind games and I stand to be corrected; I don’t think anyone in my generation still believes in marriage...(Can't believe I just said that) Dating has to be the sweet-bitter experience, yes we hang out, take selfies with the magic selfie-stick, post them on instagram, create love stories with them on  snap chat ,...

Listen to Them If You Have To, But Be Sober!!

A Happy Family! "...I will do all I can to keep my family intact.." a colleague once told me . So on this day we are out for lunch, me paying for a promise of lunch. As we discuss other issues, this topic of recent rise in cases of domestic violence and marriage break- ups, comes up. Several marriages are breaking up at a supersonic speed and the main course being one. Mpango Wa Kando (Side Chic/dude), .. A story is told of a friend who swore never to get married again after she found out that her man, her husband a believer had been keeping a side chic for the 2 years of their marriage. That must be painful eh?! On confrontation, the man blames the chic for tempting and seducing him.. (this must be the joke of the year). Listening to my colleague narrate the story as she curses and swears to do all she can in her powers to keep her marriage intact, I suddenly get lost in my wonder world wondering what is becoming of the institution of marriage. Just why can...

At My Pace, At My Time...

At My Pace, At My Time! No sweetheart, am never ever going to settle for anything less, I know my worth and am not ready to settle down with someone just because you think am becoming of age and end up spending the rest of my life being miserable. That is the reply I always give to one my best friend who always nags me to get a man and l start dating.     She is just barely twenty four years old and you can be surprised how she is so sure that by the time she will be my age, she will be married and almost popping out her first born. I always shake my head, if only she knew how cruel love is, it is not that simple as she tends to think. You see, am twenty seven years old, in four months’ time, I will be turning twenty eight years old. The African custom has always dictated that once a lady hits the age of twenty five, she should be gearing up for marriage. Dare you get to your thirties and you still single, the looks you get when you go for the get togethe...
