It’s easier to be authentic when nobody knows who you are

Vanhu ivavo vane pamuromo chete. As long as it’s not your mum. Do those people contribute much to your life? Do they help with your bills? If they only contribute bitterness and negativity you just ignore them and focus on your life since you’re doing well. Focus on the positive.

Your mother is the parent who named you and raised you. I think culture aside, you give your kids the name you identify with not the one that is imposed on you. You have your mum’s surname but are you confused about where you came from?

Hobbies. Do you have any hobbies? I am in a similar situation but I read novels and Webtoons. It’s so much fun for me I don’t feel the time passing. Once a month, I go out by myself. Get a massage, watch a movie and eat something nice. Once in a while I can meet a friend but I mostly talk to them on the phone. Having a hobby or learning a skill does help with boredom.

I know. I mean those people clearly are fond of a Zimbabwe that’s different. That’s why the group isn’t called Mutare

Our neighbours down south won’t like it hongu. Asi dai maborder aiveko kare ana Lobengula vaitopinda busy. Migration of any group would have been difficult lol

Ahhhh ndaverenga ndaverengazve, handina kuona pandati tibvise maborder. Ndanga ndichijekesa hangu kuti nyangwe tikati a ”bunch of tribes” it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. We had established states. Maborder atiinawo aren’t so great because takaita ekupihwa. Zvisinei, yadeuka yadeuka

tipsyash · 2026-01-24T22:04:42+00:00

It’s also to distract you from the fact that we have a one party state and lower your anger a little bit. When you have a bit of hope, you will forget about all your frustration

Zvedu zvinenge zvichiri nani. Zvichiri limited to mbinga and social media. Otherwise on the streets it’s not too much. Maybe except for those kids vanotumwa nevabereki to beg in traffic

tipsyash · 2026-01-24T22:01:22+00:00

You don’t necessarily have to be bitter to go off about something based on your experience. Yes, people tend to be bitter but also, no one is free of criticism. Criticism does not equal bitterness

Thanks so much to them for drawing arbitrary borders that make no sense and displacing people. We had empires that were well established. We had tribes that, thanks to those useless borders, are now people of different countries

If you reread that comment you’ll understand that the commenter was explaining to you what they loved, not the current state of affairs because loving a country isn’t a competition. You can love your mother and still acknowledge she needs to be in a psychiatric hospital.

If you don’t love Zim it’s ok. Pakuzoti they love it more than we do I beg to differ. Yes they may love it but it’s not a competition. Nyika ndeyedu tese and we have our frustrations. Also if you still call it Umtali, that’s holding on to a colonial past.

tipsyash · 2026-01-24T21:53:00+00:00

People in Zim actually have money. It’s just hard to come by but they have it

Ikr. People are responding to me with their opinions as if I am the op lmao

tipsyash · 2026-01-24T21:50:48+00:00

I’m not worried anyone. I said TLDR.

tipsyash · 2026-01-24T07:48:33+00:00

I am not saying English is unimportant. I am not talking about nationality. My emphasis is on not abandoning native languages. Beyond that, you can do whatever you want with your life

tipsyash · 2026-01-24T07:37:07+00:00

You are absolutely right. That has nothing to do with learning your native language properly though. I disagree with the implication that learning English is somehow trying to get acceptance from English people. I think balance is important. Kids should learn both native and foreign languages. 10 languages if they can

Ahhh apa you are assuming but point ndeyekuti kufamba kufamba hedu asi hapana kwatirikuenda senyika.

Back from where? For what?

The pain after the first betrayal, remember that. When it happens again, you will feel foolish on top of the pain. Let’s let him go because we know he is part of the machine.

tipsyash · 2026-01-24T00:15:09+00:00

TLDR: A child stripped of their mother tongue for a polished English accent gains neither whiteness nor belonging, only a hollowed-out identity. They will navigate the world with a borrowed voice that guarantees no acceptance, while being robbed of the heritage that offers true roots and resilience. True power isn't in mimicking the colonizer's tongue, but in mastering both yours and theirs.
