Black baby

This week's prompt was actually screaming my name, you can find the link here so I had to write something. Every prompt for this week is fascinating and I so badly wanted to write on all of them but rules are rules and I don't want my ass getting whooped so here I am with the most intriguing of them all(my opinion though);

One piece
Do you have a favourite piece of clothing or pair of shoes? Take a photo and explain why it's a favourite item, you can be wearing it or just lay it out on the bed or something, get creative. You must use your own photos for this post of course and it must contain at least 250 words.

From when I was a kid, I liked all my clothes and shoes the same way and fancied them more when they were new but after wearing them for like four or five times, they got old in my eyes and pushed aside like every other one in my closet but then that narrative changed three weeks ago.

Story time!!!

My boyfriend and I broke up and it was a sad moment for me. He randomly sent me a breakup message one evening saying he wasn't feeling the vibe anymore and that was it. I didn't know what to say, I was just so sad and even cried (you can imagine).

Due to the heartbreak, I ran to my mom's to spend the weeks till school resumes (just so I wouldn't die of loneliness and heartbreak).

Miraculously after a week of the breakup, it was a Friday evening, a chilly one at that(nature dealt with me). I was on tik-tok watching all the silly couples on my fyp oppress me with "romance, how they settle fights" etc. I don't know how the owner of tik-tok knew I was lonely and recommended those videos but it was sure making me tear up and I began hating myself because I didn't understand why he'd break up with me just like that when I did nothing wrong.

While going through those oppressing videos on tik-tok, his message came in on whatsapp and it was a photo. The heartbroken me who had yearned for his text all week long didn't hesitate to open this image and to my very surprise, he had gotten me one flat comfy black shoe that I budgeted to buy and accompanied it with an "I'm sorry" long text saying he thought I was gonna fight for him(he failed to realize I wasn't Jet Li or any of his descendants).

I was crying and couldn't wait to see him and my shoe even though I tried to act hard, unforgiving and the "not easy to get back type"(you can't blame a girl for trying to act like one🤧).

This shoe or whatever it's called is perrrrfect for simple school outfits, like I've always wanted it and he got it!!! Seemed like the dude read my mind cause we never had any conversation related to it and just like that I got a favorite thing. I got lots of other gifts too as a "come back please" but my favorite is this breathable black shoe. I'd have preferred something pink but black goes with anything so why not? I love it nevertheless.

It's going to be my favorite till whenever because it carries a beautiful story I'll forever cherish plus it came at the right time. Next Monday, universities in Nigeria will be on session again (yay! I miss my friends) and I will be rocking this black baby with a nice outfit to march.
