BUT I SURVIVED

Dear KEB readers,

I've missed you all. If I say I haven't, then call me a liar. So many things have kept me to busy from writing to keep our blog going but... I'm back now.

To those of us who called me on the phone and sent chats to my WhatsApp and Facebook, asking me why KEB was seemingly quiet, I love you more than you can imagine. Thank you for checking up.

A friend and brother of mine-Pascal has decided to honour us with a story. He happens to be the first male guest blogger in KEB. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did.

...It's all about survival; the world I mean. To live means to survive. We keep living and while we are at it, continue to survive.

I once had a serious crush on an acquaintance. After a couple of outings, I thought it would click... but, she was indifferent. Hmmm, I was not used to that, but, I had to wait. In my patience, she travelled abroad and I became inclined to stalking her via social media especially Facebook.

She was a happy girl, leading a happy life in a happy country, and I am in a horrible country, adding more stress to my already stressed up life. She posted pictures of her fun filled newfound life, while I stalked on, in dire penury of the heart.

One day, she wrote the caption "you have the key to your happiness..." on her status and though she didn't know, she was referring to me.

I've come to learn that. Why on earth should I be thinking of someone who doesn't give a damn about me?? Like magic, my mental configuration was reconfigured and I saw myself coming back to whom I should be. It happens always, but people don't want to survive. Or better put, they don't know how to survive. If by any stroke of chance or figment of imagination, you discover that you're not worth as much to him or her, my dear, convince yourself that you were happier even before they came into your life and you won't regret going back to the jolly days.

Days of mourning and grieving over lost "friends" should be over now. You are the master of your own fate. You will be happy, if you truly wanna be. But if you like suffer head... Goodluck!!!

For those of us still "booing" and "baeing" and "crushing," I pray you don't get booed or crushed while booing and crushing...
