The Letter I Saw.

Good day everyone, welcome to my blog. Happy new month to all of us.

I started a business a few years ago, in the second quarter of the year to my surprise the business collapsed before the third quarter. Then I thought to myself, maybe business is not my thing or perhaps, I miss manage the business capital.

I checked my wardrobe, there is no single new clothes, my jewelry box filled with dust and old jewelry I bought before the business started at all. Then it drew on me that I have been partnering with an enemy.

Meanwhile, I was warned by a neighbor who seemed to be watching what was going on between my partner and I but I gave a deaf hear, I thought I was helping a sister in need not knowing my partner is the type that pitches his tenant from another's sweat.
**
Mama dee, this friend of yours, does she not have her business capital? Why do you always share yours with her without looking back?** My neighbor said to me one day. I responded saying it's not like that she ran into some debt she is settling, all will stop once she gets back on her feet.

So I thought, then the business went down the drain. A few months later, I gathered money and started another business, only for this woman to come for me again, like a village witch sent to see the end of me. At first I wanted to open up to her but decided to follow her with keen attention. Not long after, my suspicions were confirmed.

I blame myself for everything, I blame myself for trusting and helping someone who never needed help but pretended to need , I blame myself for letting my guards down……….

The above written words were found in between an old book I borrowed from the library last month. It was an old hand written note dated back to 1980. As I was reading the note, I could not help feel all the emotions and agony that the writer puts into words, then it made me wonder why people are so mean, how can someone try to help you then you drag them into the mud. The ways of humans are indeed evil.

As i hold the paper containg the letter above in my hand, i can not help but wonder, this can not be real.

Thank you for taking your time to read through, Yours truly @elizy, a teacher, mother and passionate writer
