Where Does It Hurt?

-

Oh, Beulah, this shoe is a perfect fit for you, It looks really good on you my darling", Beulah's mom exclaimed with a sigh of relief as they'd been walking around the shoe market for over an hour looking for a perfect shoe size.

" ouch! Mom, it hurts" Beulah exclaimed. "Where does it hurt? I am afraid this shoe is so beautiful to forfeit " Beulah's mom replied.

"I know it's beautiful but only the person wearing the shoe knows where it hurts," The sales girl replied.

"Mom, my toe is hurting, can we find another one please?" Beulah politely requested.

Where does it hurt? prompt
Inspired this story.

I feel many people don't understand what it feels like to walk in our shoes, so they base their judgment on what they see. Only the person wearing the shoe can tell where it hurts! Some of the situations we go thru might look simple to handle for others until it is their turn to face that same situation, they truly cannot tell where it hurt really! Nobody knows what it feels like to walk in your shoe!


Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

A Beautiful Heritage

Pinterest The waist beads are known as "Mgbájí" in the centralized Igbo dialect while another part of the Igbo calls it various names like "Ukwueleke", "Akaraukwu" or "Jigida" This is my beautiful and prominent heritage because I hail from a part of the Igbo land. "Imo state" to be precise. That waist bead is a very beautiful and essential ornament that is made of cowries or very expensive beads using a fishing line or a string to join them together. It is usually worn to beautify a woman's waist, which makes her attractive to the opposite sex and looks more feminine. The waist beads denote royalty, femininity, and fertility in my tribe. My mom told me how this waist bead is an essential part of our culture and a maiden attire on the day of her traditional marriage, known as"Igba Nkwu". No bride ever joked with this waist bead as her attire is never complete without the waist beads. Any man who seeks her hands for marriage

This is the link to part 1, in case you missed the story. Click here for Part 1 There are two sides to a story. My name is Jeremy and this is my story. I met Cheryl sometime in November, she was a very vibrant and fun person to be with, I was an introvert while she was more of an ambivert. During our journey, I learned how to communicate a lot, one thing I admired about her was how she would "say it, just how she felt it". Cheryl came into my life when I had been a bachelor for a very long time, I had to unlearn being alone, you see, I was never a fan of love, I had so many short-term relationships, and though a part of me wanted to experience real love while the other part of me was not ready for all of that. We started as very good friends, Cheryl was a very loving lady, she would always check up on me and I loved that a lot. She was the First Lady I have ever had long conversations with, I started to like the fact that I could come out of my shell and I started getting use

It's another edition of the  #Threetunetuesday   Here is my pick for this week. What Is Love?   -V.Bozeman Love is the most beautiful feeling in the world because it makes you compromise, and even break some rules, one who truly loves makes him/herself vulnerable, more like choosing one person in the universe to have so much control over you. How do you feel when you haven't heard from that one special person? Now you understand what it means... However loving someone is a risk, because loving someone doesn't guarantee they love you back, people might not love you for the right reasons, maybe they love you because they are lonely at the moment, or because it suited them at the time or just to boost their ego, that's why suddenly they change and then they just opt- out and leave. It leaves deep scars when people intentionally mess our emotions up and sometimes the pain makes us detach ourselves from immersing ourselves in love again, depriving us of enjoying that beautif
