Most people don’t really know the reason why I act the way I do. Sometimes, they feel I am simply being irrational when making decisions, but who wouldn’t, going through everything I did in the arms of my ‘loving’ boyfriend.
“Aisha, you don’t think on your feet”, was what I always heard, each time we had a misunderstanding, I was always the dumb one, I was the stupid one, I was the one who didn’t know how to act right, not ever.

I didn’t look back to see the face but I knew it belonged to a guy, so I simply looked over my shoulder and replied. Apparently, he was pissed by that and decided to tap me from behind. When I turned to look at him, he said; “I just complimented your look”. I then replied…
