the girl they left behind

Overview


The beauty of life is the uncertainty of tomorrow. To date, she still hopes that one day she will get the right person who will claim her, forever this time. Dating the wrong people has seemed to be the cup of tea for most people. Intimate relationships are a human nature and everyone always has their own story to tell. Some will do one person and settle(the God's favorite) while others have Tom, Dick and Harry before finding their perfect match. This is the journey of a campus girl who hasn't still been able to figure it out yet. Could she be the problem? 


At only 20, she is already on her 10th boyfriend.(Don't be surprised, I know worse). What worries her is how depressed she becomes when she has no one to call her own. Breakups are the worst nightmares for her now. She realized that things changed and the queen in her died when she decided it was now time to juggle them up, all at the same time. 

     A pretty petite girl she was at 13. Soft spoken with a pinch of class in how she talked and walked among her ghetto friends. She was the ghetto princess. Everybody wanted her. It was all cool at first until it got into her head and realized she could actually gain something from all the guys who showed interest in her. 

       It all started with a private message in her Facebook from a stranger asking her to meet up and get to know more about each other. Ever since, Lily was always absent. Her dress code changed and she didn't turn down any offer that came her way as long as it involved partying. The intoxicating alcohol would bring out her worst character and she would be all over the place with every species identified as males. It was here that she had her first breakup but it felt nothing because there was a queue of other people who wanted her. 

   Having stayed two years with Joe, she felt like that was time wasted because in a span of days, she had already had her first of everything ; alcohol, sneaking into a club, getting mails while at school, name it. After Joe she started getting into relationships after the other. Surprisingly they lasted months and that became her. At 18, things started changing. People had distanced themselves from her because she was being sluty. Body counts increased by the day. All in search of the perfect one. Breakups became her worst nightmare because she would stay months without getting herself another man. It was time. 

     IN 7 MONTHS… 

Her recent breakup was an eye opener. She needed to change her ways. She needed to get to learn people without committing to them first. She needed to handle herself maturely. Having to talk out issues feels great. Instead of the tempered argument that were baseless. It's only been 7 months and tremendous growth has been seen. Even if she is still struggling getting it all together, the girl they left behind has grown.

Have you ever dreamt of a place unknown yet means a lot to you, a place you have never been, yet you connect to like home, a place that only exists in your fantasy, a place of healing for the soul and a paradise you only have an idea of?

TRIED

They would discuss how their husbands want to marry a second wife and how it is a good idea because the “small wife” would help around with the chores

I actually do admire their generosity when it comes to honoring and submitting to their husbands.

Everyone dreams, everyone wishes. Might be the whole red door or white picket fence but for Dona, all she wanted was to be at ease and have more peace.
