Summer Walker once sang in her song Session 32,

"And I need you to know

You don't know what love is

And I need you to know, you don't know..."

The more one listens to the song, the more one could understand and relate to the singer.

After all, music is a form of art, and art is a form of expression, and the word 'expression' is synonymous to words like 'emotions' and 'feelings'.

Me saying to myself in Nigerian accent, "Look at you", which sounds more like, "Look arts you". Yah no.

I have never been the one to catch feelings, lust after a guy, fantasise about what a fantastic couple we would make and how our wedding was going to be like or who our children were going to look more like, let alone even have these kinds of thoughts linger in my mind.

I really think it is definitely time to reprioritise my thoughts and future plans because I might want to join the and I quote, "just might be a hoe" club just for this guy.

Gevaarlik* thoughts, I know.

Imagine me, risking it all for a guy, for mjolo, mina?*

Never, could never be me. I would be a very foolish, highly infatuated fool, which I cannot and I emphasis on cannot, afford to be.

*"Yah no" in South Africa is a complete sentence which in proper English translates to "Yes no", many South Africans say this statement when in awe or have nothing else to say. I would think of it as a paradox, like bittersweet.

*Gevaarlik- dangerous

*mjolo- South African lingo for dating or seeing each other.

*mina- Zulu word for me

Certain phrases in different dialects which definitions will be provided for. My goal is to encourage you as readers to immerse yourself in the South African culture and the characters.
