Diary of a Zambian girl stories about my life

I wasn’t ready for half the things I been through. None of it was planned, none of it was easy, and a lot of it caught me off guard. But I still pushed through. I still showed up, handled what I had to handle, and kept going even on the days I felt weak.

That’s when it finally clicked for me. I might not have been ready for it, but I was built for it. Every obstacle I survived proved that. Everything I made it through showed me I’m stronger than I ever gave myself credit for.

if I don't share this I feel like am about to lose it next minute am okay, next am all emotional and just want to cry and for someone to tell me all is going to work out in the end..I have a son whose one year old and am currently living with my brother and his wife ever since things went bad for me I had no other choice but to move in back with my brother and his wife,if you ask me I hated the fact that I was doing this to my brother knowing how he just deserved a break from me being under his roof long story but I have been under his roof for the longest time till I was told to move out once he got married which I very much understood cause newly weds need space..long story short life happened i found myself back under his roof this time around with a child whose under 2 ..my relationship with the dad went sour and things between us are quiet bad we havent been okay for the longest period of time and mostly his usually out of the country and moves from house to house in short he doesn't have his own home that's another story for another day so I found out mans was cheating on me not just with one person but alot of other ladies finding out certain things and just how I got to find out really bruised me am healing and learning to be myself all over again especially after child birth ofcourse am really greatfull to my brother and his wife for they took me in and has helped me in every possible way the could ...the reason why am writing is because I honestly feel I have over stayed they dont need to tell me I can just feel it .

its feels as though my presence or anything I say my brother is getting irritated, I dont plan on being here for long but just that at the moment I have no where else to go not even friends I can visit just so I could give them time and space ...I know my brother loves me but I also know that his tired ..question is dont I have other relatives I can visit or stay with but for how long till they too get tired

i know at times i do make mistakes and might get a little comfortable but I have gotten to a point where I wish my brother can tell me if there's something his not happy about and I will listen or let me know if at all things have changed I have seen how his really tried to get me back on my feet but things arent just going as expected I feel like I really do try my level best bust there certain things I evn I am failing to understand why I am going through them those that will say pray ,I really do pray more than ever I have learnt to put my trust in God ...but the level at which life has brought me too really has humbled me ,I have nothing to my name nothing to brag about ..I feel very lonely at times that I find myself opening up to wrong people who I shouldn't evn be talking to about anything in the first place people have a certain way and level of the way they treat and respect based on what they can benefit from you ..

I recently found out certain things about how someone I thought would never do me like that went on and said alot of things behind my back to make me look bad lately I try to mind my own business cause it kind of seems like am the bad guy ..what I have just never wanted to be is a burden to anyone I feel very bad that I cant seem to give my brother and his wife a break cause they surely need it ...🤧without offending anyone or coming out like an ungrateful person because I dont know what I would have done without my brother one day when am all okay I pray to God to bless me and never should I forget what he has done for me because they deserve the best and I pray to be of great help to them one day 🙏

my 2025
last year 2024 I just prayed for God's will and strength cause 2024,I prayed for God to reveal certain things and take away what wasn't supposed to be in my life reverse back to 2024 1st January i remember praying and crying to God to just let him show me and yho I felt it ..relationship wise ,family and work I felt it .I was comfortable with my work for the longest period of time that I endured these other years while there it was work I mean but the work environment and the type of job I told God every night and chance I got that this is not it for me I said to him I didn't belong there..my siblings and I are okay but we haven't really been okay for the longest time I mean most of the drift I caused but they were times i felt like i was better off staying away everytime i tried ..relationships also big flop 2024 I discovered things that have traumatized me upto now I mean I prayed for God to show me why it wasn't making sense anymore so going into 2025 I had my plan and vision of how it would all play out but it's TRUE what they say Gods plan s are not your plans he humbled me and brought me back on my knees that I have learnt to lean on him like never before ,I know I may not be the smartest or have qualifications that will take me places,I know I might not have been the best sister to my siblings, best daughter to my father but in God's eyes there's more to me and he only has the final say over my future 2025 gave me the most precious gift that surpasses material things my heart is full of gratitude cause lord knows how broken and lonely I would have felt ..so am greatfull financially whatever happened this year should never happen again I found my self in alot of debt that I cant even explain..asking money from people that should be asking from me yes and that also took me to a place of losing peace and sleep ,God brought me out of certain situations that when i look back still wonder how ...the shame i have gone through this year ,i have felt like a burden so many times where one would think it's just laziness but no God know my heart and the things i pray for and entering 2026 by his grace my prayer is first of all direction so I dont enter the new year blindly, secondly i pray i receive every supply with my name on ,2025 I had rest and am greatfull cause it would have been worse but he showed me mercy ..Am entering 2026 with his mercy and grace they will not be any carry overs ..Every goodyhing with my name on we shall receive to a better salary income,to better relationships to better friendships, to better opportunities, to better achievements to better health, to everything nice this life has to offer and more is my prayer for my life and whoever reads this 2026 will be great Amen 🥂🥂🥂❤😇

💔 5 Reasons Why Cheating, Male or Female is Immature and Dangerous

Let’s be honest: there’s nothing more heartbreaking than discovering that the person you trusted with your heart has betrayed you. In today’s world where love is already hard enough to find, cheating isn’t just a “mistake.” It’s a choice. A selfish, reckless, and deeply hurtful one.

Whether you’re a man or a woman, cheating is not a flex. It’s not empowerment. It’s not “just vibes.” It’s emotional violence. And here’s why it’s not only immature but dangerously irresponsible:

1. 🚨 You’re risking lives, not just feelings

Cheating exposes you and your innocent partner to multiple sexual partners whose health status you likely don’t know. STIs, STDs, and HIV are real, and they don’t care about your excuses. You’re not just playing with your own life; you’re gambling with someone else’s safety. That’s not love. That’s cruelty.

2. 🧠 You’re not emotionally ready for commitment

If you can’t stay loyal to one person, it’s a clear sign you’re not mentally or emotionally prepared for a relationship. Commitment isn’t about convenience it’s about maturity. If you’re still chasing validation from others, you’re not ready to build something real.

3. 💔 You’re planting seeds of insecurity and trauma

Cheating doesn’t just break trust it breaks people. It creates deep insecurities, anxiety, and emotional trauma that can take years to heal. You may move on, but the person you hurt might carry that pain into every relationship after you. That’s not just immature it’s cruel.

4. 🧩 You’re confusing chaos for connection

In a culture where “soft life” and “situationships” are trending, it’s easy to confuse chaos for chemistry. But real love isn’t built on lies and late night texts. It’s built on honesty, safety, and respect. If you can’t offer that, don’t pretend you can.

5. 🧍🏽‍♀️You’re wasting someone’s time and emotional energy

Time is precious. So is emotional labor. If you know you’re not ready to be fa

he cleaned the mess I made finally it was bright outside his parents must have been ready to go to church by then ..what we were both scared of almost happened his mum almost came in his room but he blocked the door for her not to come in and she even tried to pop through the door ..he stopped her saying he wasnt dressed..mark this is not your house she said mulimutu ninshi why you refusing me to enter that's how I swore even upto now that woman knew or she suspected someone was in her son's room but just ignored..while all that was happening my heart was under my feet what was going to happen if she actually came in because that room had no hiding space I couldn't go under the bed ,his wardrobe had no space for a human being so I just covered myself in the duvet ..
she was leaving instructions for him ,you should even cook lunch since you dont want to go to church she added..they finally left and we remained the two of us I went to use the bath room properly and he prepared breakfast for me I told him now what happened the previous night and what lead me to go to home he kept saying he was shocked that I went to him despite how things were between us but he seemed not to want to talk about that ..he served us breakfast dude prepared my favorite I ate and it was time to go home to meet my brother ..because i didn't come with shoes on he had to give me his sister's shoes who by the way when i asked where she he told me that she hadn't come home for some days now ..
Another problem so I wore her slippers which by the way I never returned am sure she searched every where for them .
He walked me home and i found my brother with his wife sited outside my brother was washing his car ..i just walked past them and went straight to bath and sleep my brothers wife followed to ask me where I slept and how worried they all were, your brother didnt sleep sally you should apologize to him but later now you eat ..she brought me food

short story time
just remembered some incidence with my ex ..

story time of how my ex boy friend sneaked me in his bedroom while staying with his parents upto to now I suspect the mum knew but just didn't burst his ass 😀
so I was was staying with my elder brother and we had a fight so I ran away from home past midnight, the whole thing with my elder brother was a misunderstanding and alchohol contributed I was drunk and back then when I was in that state i did things that even I would get shocked in the morning bad I know ..I have been working on myself not like that anymore to my brother am sorry 😭😂 so after a misunderstanding drunk me decides to ran way in past mid night ,ofcourse my brother and his wife and neighbors ofcourse ran after me but I hid some where so they couldn't see me to them it's like I just disappeared I could hear them walk around where I was hiding calling and searching every where till they went back inside then i came out of hiding and decided to walk to my ex boyfriend's place who was satying with his parents insane idea I know because what was I thinking ..we lived in the same neighborhood only few blocks away from my brothers place so yes it was walkable but was it safe though?the answer is no it was only God mwandi so I reach his place his house was not in a fence so u could easily walk in the yard ..the was another house in the same yard and he once told me there tenant was a nosy lady who was friends with the mum ..but that didn't sink in at first mind you I had no phone with me cause I just ran away from home ..I had no shoes on just with a small short dress I wore cause we had gone for a party where the whole drama that lead my brother being mad at me started from
so i decided to knock at his window they was a slight light on must have been his laptop or phone so i knew he was awake ..i knocked four times with no response till i decided to go knock at the door imwea madness i know the confidence that i have when am drunk or upset is dangerous. So I knock twice and the door opens luckily its him my ex opens the door ..I dont know what came over his mind when he saw me but he panicked let's call me Sally and him mark so ,his words were Sally what are you doing here are you okay and immediately I started crying you know but I think because he didn't want his parents or the neighbor's waking up he begged me to stop crying made me come in the house and straight took me to his room we walked past his parents bedroom yes
