December 2023 Hope met Colman, a short ,cute guy.She had a partner at time,but unexpectedly found herself drawn to Colman.They exchanged numbers and started chatting on WhatsApp and calling each other.Their conversations were exciting,and his voice captivated her.He spoke Pedi, a language she had always wanted her partner to speak, which made her even more attracted to him .

Hope had to end things with her partner because of Colman.Although she felt guilty, she knew it was necessary. When she told her partner they should part ways ,he was devastated and begged her to stay.His last words haunted her: ‘Are you really willing to discard three years of our relationship for someone you’ve just met and hardly know?’ His question lingered in her mind…

Hope ended up being with Colman, a decision she later regretted. Despite this , their relationship started off amazingly, with him calling her every day and everything feeling perfect. However, in January 2024, Colman had to return to his suburban home. The distance led to a sudden change in his behavior, and he stopped calling her like before. This marked the begging of the end .

Hope tried to convince herself that Colman was busy with school work,but deep down, she knew the truth . She created a Facebook account to connect with others and alleviate her boredom. That’s when she met Kay, a guy who sent her a friend request. Initially hesitant,Hope eventually accepted and they became fast friends. Kay was talkative and funny and Hope found herself confiding in him about her relationship with Colman .

As Hope shared more about her situation,Kay grew increasingly disapproval of Colman’s behavior.He saw Hope as a deserving and valuable person and couldn’t understand why Colman wouldn’t appreciate her. Their friendship blossomed over five months, but eventually, Kay’s feelings evolved, and he wanted to be more than friends.Hope , still holding onto her love for Colman, had to decline…

Hope’s decision to prioritize her feelings for Colman led Kay to respect her boundaries,but he couldn’t help expressing his disapproval of Colman’s treatment of her . Kay’s words resonated with Hope , and she began to realize her Worth. She understood that she deserved better than someone who didn’t value her.

As Hope reflected on her situation, she adopted a newfound ‘value yourself to see where you’re not valued or loved,know your worth!’ she started to focus on her own growth and well-being, slowly letting go of her attachment to Colman.

Meanwhile, Colman’s behavior remained inconsistent, and Hope’s patience wore thin.She began to see that his actions didn’t align with his words , and the relationship’s toxicity became harder to ignore.with Kay’s support and her own growing self-awareness, Hope started to consider a future without Colman…

With a renewed sense of self-worth Hope started to distance herself from Colman’s toxic behavior.She realized that his actions were not a reflection of her Worth,but rather a testament to his own shortcomings. Kay’s friendship provided a healthy contrast, showing Hope what it meant to be valued and respected.

As Hope continued on her journey of self-discovery, she faced a turning point. She could choose to hold onto the past and the hope that Colman would change, or she could embrace a future filled with possibilities and promise . With Kay by her side ,Hope began to envision a life where she was loved and cherished for who she was !!! Then, that whole situation taught Hope a life lesson that she will never forget…
