GMB 5: The unsaid is said


‘We found each other

I helped you out of a broken place

You gave me comfort

But falling for you was my mistake’

            -Call out My Name by the Weeknd

 


This is the end. Maybe is the fact that Siba asked his friend if they could exchange girlfriends or that Kasanda forgot she was dating Siba when she let another guy flirt with her. It was the word unsaid that needed to be said, who was going to say it first?

 

Kasanda

The news of her Uncle’s death devastated her, her mother’s brother. The news came just a few days after they had gone to see him at the hospital and he had looked so much better. Maybe that is the thing about death, it likes to creep in when least expected. A secrecy it dwells upon, only sometimes known to the one with whom it owes. Kasanda was placed in charge of designing and printing the funeral programs, and the graveyard flowers acquisition. It helped distract her from feeling the loss of his death. At each end of the day, Kasanda would check her phone to see any communication from Siba but saw none. She hated and choose to ignore that sick feeling in her stomach about her relationship with him. She had been feeling like that for some time now, that she didn’t want to be in a relationship with Siba anymore. Maybe it was the promises he made that he never fulfilled or him never wanting to meet and hang out with her friends or just that he would prefer meeting at either his place or hers. Kasanda loved adventure and seeing new places and with him, she suddenly felt that is not something he likes doing. It was time, she said to herself!

 

Siba

He didn’t know what to do, how to be there for Kasanda as she was dealing with the loss, while at the same dealing with issues that happening at home. He choose his family and stopped keeping in touch Kasanda and to him, he felt he was giving her space to grieve. And on one night when Kasanda called and asked why he never checked in on her during the entire time she was grieving till the Uncle’s burial, all he said was he was giving her space. After their talk, he realized maybe he is not the man for Kasanda, he didn’t understand her needs and how to meet them. It was time, he said to himself!


Siba: Hi Kasanda, I  want to tell you something.

Kasanada: Yes am listening….

Siba: I think it is time we just call it. It has been a journey together and we are now at the end of it, would you say?

Kasanda: Yes l agree.

Siba: So it was nice to know you Kasanda…goodbye.

Kasanda: It was nice knowing you too…bye.

 

This is the end of Siba and Kasanda’s story!

Who's to say part 1: I can't add any more weight!?

Who's to say? I remember that thought running in my mind throughout that day.   'So this means you have to lose some weight Eat healthy Reduce unhealthy carbohydrates Exercise Am sure if you google you will get more of what needs to be done.'                                                                                     said the Doctor 'Okay okay Kasanda we got this, it doesn't seem hard I mean...it doesn't seem hard...right?   ...my internal monologue as l sat there looking at the Doctor as he tried to explain my scans to me. Radiology is definitely an interesting course! Just from how one would look at an imaging/scan and say enlarged liver for example and all the rest of us see is pure blackness. Kudos to the medics who study for that tirelessly.  Funny thing that am embarrassed to say...i did a unit in Radiology but up to now l don't get how i passed it, and frankly I passed it well with a score of 80%. I guess it was a case of this unit is compuls

THE SOCIETY I LIVE IN

I live in a society whereby the line between normal vs abnormal is completely distorted or otherwise subjective (based on the majority’s judgement). My society has made stating facts such as; I am a virgin, I am celibate till marriage or I don’t drink alcohol to be shunned upon and more often than not it’s taken to be a gesir [1] . The majority are thus taken to be normal but the ones who choose not to conform to societal norms are taken to be abnormal. This is kinda like the way we make a diagnosis of delusional disorder which is characterized by delusions, fixed false beliefs that involve situations that could potentially occur in real life such as being followed or poisoned. These delusions also occur to almost everyone on their day to day basis and they include: Erotomanic delusion-delusion that another person is in love with the individual- how many people have misread signals from a crush or another person that they have feelings for them; Grandiose type- delusion of infla

GMD 2: They met!!

GIRL MEETS BOY CHAPTER 2 'And from the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man, he made a woman and brought her to him.’ Genesis 2:22 ‘It takes two to tango!’ These were the words Kasanda told Siba as she was rejecting his advances. A year later, Siba kept reminding her of this. So how did girl meet boy or what is it more of how they found each other? ‘And Adam said,’ This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man,’ Genesis 2:23 ‘What’s the deal with him?’ Kasanda asked her friend Aggie while pointing out to the new boy in Med School hostels. He never looked like a medical student with his well tucked flowered shirt, well ironed trousers and a trench coat. His outfits never screamed the word Medical Students. So what kind of outfit made a Medical student? For clinical rotations- a plain shirt (blue/ white) and a trouser; for class, people like Benja would come in with Chelsea footb
