The weight of the world lifted when I found her. I was never easily impressed buy this narrative, especially for the fact that I specifically prayed to the one above to send me one. I mean I believed, I truly did but I didn't see her coming, at least not with the set of eyes I have.

It was a couple of months after the tragedy that ended the course of my life-graduation. I needed help and everyone else thought I was joking, as usual. I had started hearing voices in my head and they were beginning to take shape in my dreams as well.

Tragedy is not what we often pray about but it can be the goldmine that breaks you when you stand in it's way. 

Uni appeared in my life in a not-so-conventional way. After the tragedy, she kinda hung around a lot longer than everyone else and the best part was she was willing to talk about the HARD stuff, you know the ones everyone is scared of- a carryover, an F, an extra year. Uni spoke to me, our calls ran into hours then it became every other day. Oh and did I mention, she was a serving corp member at the time, and that made it even more ethereal for me.

I have never seen friendship as an easy thing, I believe it's a quest and it should take you on a journey (though I'm not certain where). Uni on the other hand, had a mind of her own though, she honestly didn't need it…

Fast forward to the crux of the story.

Now, 3 years later, UNI has completely changed. I mean she literally shed her old skin. She used to be cheerful and full of bubbles but now there's no soap to make the bubbles and to make matters worse, she has now turned her back on me. She accused me of everything dreadful you can think of. She said I made her choose between friendship  and love.

How on earth can you choose between these two?

You wouldn't believe that I actually felt bad. Before this, I would boast and indulge my femininity and would not let my esteem - hard-earned, I must add be trampled upon ever so easily. But this?, Uni stripped me of everything I have been nurturing all these while.

I'm still not certain of my reaction, I guess I'll sleep on it.
