Had I known I would have stayed back and avoided the heartbreak…

We are all teenagers, we fall in love, do stupid thing in the name of love. Well I happened to meet this other girl Phindi from my school, first time I saw her she was flawlessly beautiful from her hair to her smile from there I knew I had a crush on her. When I got home I was still thinking about her so I decided to check my Facebook account then out of nowhere she appeared on my news feed, “god was this meant for me?” I asked myself , then I texted her, asked her to be my friend and she agreed, I must say it was hard sending that text, thinking she was going to leave me on seen.

We talked via Facebook for a really long time and I must say I was enjoying that, then I popped a question “WOULD YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?” She replied “yes” I felt like I was in a different universe. I was so happy I couldn’t contain myself, we dated for what seemed like a month and I started to notice some changes on her. She started ignoring me I tried reaching out to her but she pushed me away everytime I tried to talk to her.

One day she ghosted me for days then later on Sunday I received a text from her saying “I DONT WANT TO BE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP ANYMORE I DON’T FEEL THE SAME ABOUT YOU”. I tried asking her why and what made her to do that she did not answer instead she left me, I was heartbroken and confused. Later our break up spread like fire everyone at school talked about us, Yeah, she was popular everyone adored her. Later I found out that she is a lesbian and people laughed at me others were judging me for dating her saying things that made me feel insecure, I felt like the world was closing up on me and trust me I don’t hate her instead I take that as a lesson.I learnt to not rush into relationships without getting to know the person first.But I firmly believe in the LGBTQ family.
