#The Perfect Man



 



During breakfast this morning, whilst gazing at the brightest sunlight and thinking how monday will turn out for all Ghanaians. Monday 7th December 2020 happened to be our election day. Ghanaians will decide again who to rule them.  I sat praying for peace. We can't afford war or crisis in the middle of Covid.  We all know the outcome of such wars. It only affects the poor and the Marginalized. Thus, women, children and the disabled. 



Personally,I am also battling my illness.



As I gaze my memories took me way back to my childhood. How you are always lively and know nothing about the future. As a kid you dream wild after you eat and you are satisfied ha.



Those days when you have your own choices of a perfect man. His description and what to achieved together. I vividly recalled my dream man or my Mr. Perfect man. I wanted a thick tall, handsome, charming and a God fearing man, #godfearing ha.



Presumption verses Realities



Little did I know reality is the final take home of presumption. Then the thick tall, charming, God fearing men kept disappearing. 



The first, second, and third so called God fearing Mr. Perfect men turn out to all be abusive.



The third was the worst among all. He went as far as hacking my phones and computer just to keep control of me.



What a phycho they can turn out to be.



Years  now the guild of if is me or them stills lingers around. It definitely can't be me. 



Lessons Learnt



Realities can be a pain in the neck just right the next minute. When that happens take a deep breath and say it's well. The gender base violence has become nemurous be and I think of it root causes as insecurities and poor parental upbringings. Thus ,lack of inculcating good moral values.



Gender Based Violence has cause as all. One to two out of ten women's are victim of GBV globally.



I stand for a GBV free world.
