Reflection // Love // Friendship
What were you thinking Zainab? That Femi loved you way too much that he couldn't do without you? Were you thinking his world revolves around you? And that it was simply impossible to love another or move on to the next person that accorded him some respect?
Tell yourself the truth Zainab, be honest for once, you never really loved Femi, you only used him to your advantage, you enjoyed the attention the poor man was showering on you so you couldn't say no to him or confront him about Paul, the guy you actually fell in love with who's attention you were dying to get.
If you ask me, you don't deserve Femi and I am glad he finally realised your games and went after who was worth his time, attention and money.
These words kept playing on my mind as I read through Femi's last words to me before the breakup, I remembered everything my best friend Sara said to me 2 weeks after Femi broke up with me. At first, I almost cursed her thinking she didn't love me or was simply just jealous of all the privileges I was getting and the fact that Femi was spending way too much and unnecessarily on me. ~ 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐖𝐚𝐤𝐲!

I may be your best friend but no I will tell you what is right from what is wrong and Yes, you are wrong for Femi. There hasn't ever been a time you treated him like a human, let alone a man you claimed you loved.
And sadly he ignored all of your disgusting attitude and professed love to you still.
Maybe it's high time you learned your lessons, it's high time you treated men with some respect, you aren't getting any younger neither is this character of yours making any positive progress.
Zainab, for goodness sake, change for good, change and don't frustrate the next guy that would walk right into your life, as for Femi, you lost him, yes you lost a good man to your distasteful attitude.
Little did I know that my best friend saw through me more than I did myself. And that she was just trying to help and allow me to think through her telling me everything she had to tell me that day.
I wasn't in communication with my friend until the night when I decided to read Femi's words to me again, I remembered everything my friend Sara said to me too and at that point, I blamed myself I'm for the way everything worked out or turned out in the end.
I already lost Femi to another girl, so I thought I wasn't ready to lose another important person to me, Sara.
I had earlier cut all ties with her because of my anger and all the insults I rained down on her.
I felt awful after realizing my mistakes, and hoped Sara would find a place in her heart to forgive me because I meant no harm, I was only hurt as to the things she said to me which were actually true.
I did everything humanly possible to get back my friend as I wasn't ready to lose another significant person to me.
