Diary of an Honest Naturalista: Week 126

My short period fantasising about leaving the country, last week, was due to the fact that the love of my life is travelling again. I am so pained at this moment. I am hurting in such a way that I feel no one can understand me. He is going for training in Chicago, which will take 4 weeks, and then he will stay 2 weeks extra for vacation.

I don’t know what I am going to do? The longest we have been apart for is 2 weeks, when he went on vacation last year. But 6 weeks? I feel like I am going to die. My brother said he’s going away for 6 weeks because he needs to get away from me and my problems. Let’s just say that my brother currently has a scar on the side of his head.

How will I cope? If it was the UK, then we could have talked till almost break of day, every night. But US??? The time difference is not even friendly.

Who will I disturb?

Who will I continue to be a nuisance to without fear of retribution?

Who will I cry out my natural hair woes to?

To whom will I talk till my mouth gets sore?

Maybe I should write the above statements, and fashion it as a poem, so that when Dimeji reads it, he won’t travel again. I have not been in a good mood for the past 2 weeks, and he is leaving by the end of next week.

This is a very dark tunnel, and I see no light at its end. Dimeji has said he will get me enough hair products this time around, but I am not even moved one bit. I get all the natural hair products I need here in Nigeria, that I am not tripped one bit by his bribe.

Maybe if someone can tell me how to turn this around for my good, maybe I will be pacified. But for now, I can only be moody and keep crying out loud.

The love of my life is leaving me for 6 weeks, and I have absolutely idea of how I am going to cope. *wails*

Awww this is so sad, like, I feel your heartache. I've felt it too before- also 6 weeks coincidentally. Let me just say, the first week is the worst. After that it feels normal, with only occasional waves of "missing", then at the end you get giddy with excitement :)
Think about the hair products too. You may not want them now but when they come you'll be super excited

Don't cry. You hear. Don't worry he'll come back with natural hair goodies. Or else.... attack of the naturalistas.

Before you know it he will be back.
Just keep yourself really busy. Time flies faster that way.
It is healthy for relationships as you will appreciate him more when he returns.
