I love Aawambo men and how they show affection to their boy kids. There is honestly no reason for us to tell each other that "I love you son",. When an Omuwambo man gives you a piece of land or a goat so you start... nothing beats that love. Liyeral Hugs are useless to us.
As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.
My argument is, how do your elders know you so little that they’d think gifting you a whole child is a good idea? 😭
My family wouldn’t even attempt such a stunt. They know exactly who I am and what I’d find funny versus what would send me home questioning every life decision….
Imagine dedicating your whole life to not becoming a parent, only to get gifted a child on your wedding day.
Visits to Victoria Pharmacy, all the “I told you not to nut in me” lectures, and every preventative measure just for someone to gift you a yute as a wedding present. 😭
Maybe. Everyone has their own beliefs about these things.
All I know is that it’s been a year, and I miss him enough to wish I could see him one more time, even if it’s only in a dream🤍

I'm having the most peaceful crash out of my life right now... like I'm going insane, but also just chilling and vibing. I'm stressed about a bunch of stuff, but at the same time I'm not. Idk how to explain it.
It’s been 11 years. Oh Nancy lived loud and touched so many lives along the way. What a sister, what a friend. Rest easy Chi-Chi. I will love you forever and ever…
