From The Twittersphere

HATE to have to break it to you, but it seems February is meant to be a ‘deep’ month.

Short but deep! Stumbled across this on the web: “The word February is believed to have derived from the name ‘Februa’ taken from the Roman ‘Festival of Purification’.  The root ‘februo’ meaning to ‘I purify by sacrifice’.” Make of it what you will…

Relationship Things

@Givenazo_: Don’t be shy, text him again. He probably just forgot that he is in love with you.

@Meh_Le_Boo: Love is so beautiful. I hope you guys get to experience it this year, so that your loneliness gets a friend and your broken heart gets mended.

@J2ocean: Wow. She blocked me. :/ ……. Everybody turn to Galatians 4:16.

@naelarh: You are still in the relationship if you didn’t read the break-up message.

@Pyakadi: People who are still holding onto toxic relationships, hoping for better days, I pray that one day you will be strong enough to let go.

@FessieUsshure: In Windhoek you are either a landlord, have a landlord, or you’re homeless.

@Silaszygot: In Windhoek your aunty can be your landlord. That’s how hard life is in the city.

@sure_kamhunga: Being unemployed is no joy, family. Asking for money even for N$10 airtime is most dehumanising form of dependency. We need jobs for folks.

@Mfondiny: When a ‘freedom fighter’ leaves the township for suburbs. They assume a different social-political reality and a different class status.
