Think of the other things that you
went through, how they affected your life, have you ever given up then?
My friend used to say “uThixo akanokunika umthwalo
ongenakuwunyamezela” meaning that God can never give us more than we can
handle. Every time I found myself in a difficult situation She would just look at me without any pity and
say “you are not the only person who has suffered, it’s up to you whether you want
to get up and pull yourself o just lie there and feel pity for yourself” . Every
time she uttered those words I felt angry, hurt and confused. I hated her for
not comforting me but because of the hatred I felt for her, I also felt an urge
that I wanted to show her that I can pull myself together without any help from
anyone.
Now we are both older and wiser and I knew that she really
meant well, she was teaching me not to rely on anyone but to be a woman who can
take charge of her life.
