Moxie's Diaries!

This is just one of those topics I didn’t think deeply about; just some random thoughts on a random rainy cold night, put into writing! You ever scrolled through social media, and saw one of those posts that say “A woman is 'supposed to'….”? Oh my! How much I detest stuff like that.

I like to call myself a free spirit, and for the most part of my life, I think I've always done things my own way, and this is because I grew up with so much love, and a certain amount of freedom - good freedom, I'll say! Unlike typical African homes where you're forbidden to get into relationships - hence you have to hide to do what you want, or even sneak around, it wasn't same with me. My first relationship ever, happened in the university, and my mum knew about it, and even got to know him. I felt a sense of safety with that - like this person can't just play me because my mum knew about him. I may have been right in my thoughts, or wrong.
