Tisati tatanga toisa munamato wedu: “Mwari dai ma youths ose aenda kuno register kunovhota. Mwari dai maita kuti vhoti yema youths gore rinouya yashanda. Amen.”
Right, the year was 2018 and I was a Freshman ini hangu Shaddy mwana wa Vheronika. University haungodzidze academic stuff only, you get to have a chance to learn a lot about life and that was what I did. Paive neumwe musikana wandaida but ndaisasvikira.

Taive ma friends but semunhu aibva hake Gokwe ndaitya kuti ndikakanda shoko ndobva ndarambwa friendship yacho yotopera. I did everything I could kuti ndione smile yake. Ndaive what Shadhaya would call a ‘simp’. Iye anenge aitotora advantage hake because ainyatsoona kuti haaa tsano ava vakapusa. Kimmy aida kudyiwa nemunhu wese semombe yekwa Mudiwa. Asi inini ndaitoda genuine love chaiyo, iya yekuti musikana wako anenge achifamba ne Ka ring achinyebera munhu wese kuti muri engaged. Ndaitoda love iya yekuti ndinenge ndichito zikamwa kudhen kwavo iye achizikamwawo kwedu. But izvozvo zvaisaitika...

Mvura yainetsa zvekuti vanhu vaiita queue pa borehole kubva kuma 3am chaiko. Ma ghetto youths aive otoita mari nema slay queens vachiva tengesera bucket for USD$10 ukuwo ma blesser aive akutouya nema buckets emvura instead of ma buckets eku Chicken Inn.

Rimwe day ndakafunga kuita zvivindi, I had nothing to lose. Ndakabva ndandorovera moyo padombo semunhu afunga kumira mu queue re ZUPCO ndobva ndatotora extra buckets ndichiitira Kimmy.
