Lov s such a bautful thn an campus
s no xcpton. its a fln that s -
s by both th youn an th ol pooan th ch, ston an wak. it was v-
n to us by go who ally pupos fo us to fall
an b n t.
if you clam nv to hav ha a tast of th famous
lavav thn pobably you a lyn. Th famousPoa Plac,itn,S kwa,Sp an t h nwly no-
vat mapn cons (konan as many may callt im su as a sult of th sn conomy),s not a
nw thn. A lot coul b ftch fom th sta an
an moon watchn. if youv lv n block ththn pobably you know what im talkn about.
But what about whn you wak to al vythns lost? i say all s not lost. You a not alon an
almost vyon ls has on thouh th sam at
on pont. Actually ts a sta n lf. Th followna som ways to al wth t.
1. Accept the end: They say acceptance is the rststp to haln. do not cln to th hop that a ma-
cl woul happn an thns woul o back to no-mal. if ths os not happn thn too ba fo you, th
pan wll b unbaabl.
2. Respect yourself: Nv blam youslf fo th
bakup an ont punsh youslf. go ma som-
on spcally fo you who s stuln hs/h wayjust to mt you. So spct youslf nouh to v
youslf anoth chanc to b happy an ont tak
xtm masus lk ownn you soows n al-cohol.
3. Pamper yourself for a while: Smply t out an
tat youslf. do somthn you lov. Buy youslf
nw staff, at wll, o swm, watch movs, socalan v youslf a ally oo tat. cnt all you

Wash away you hut by nuln youslf.
4. Connect with your family: rnw wonful

You wll b sups how wonful famly lovs an you wll notc that th a wonful po-

5. Allow yourself to heal: dont thow youslf

won popl han to a won stnaton ann th n you mht b mo hut. Stat a nw
latonshp only whn you can stan th pvous
on wthout pan.
6 .Forget revenge: Falln n an out of lov hap-
pns. it s sa but tuly t happns. Accpt ths factand move on. Revenge is a conrmation of pain
an ts you wth th past-nv lttn you ally

7. Take up a new hobby: You might nd that time

Its a mansworld
Th e a tve lke the wall of chna s felt between man an woman
makn t look lke two ffeent speces altoethe. its been
sa athe joknly that the ay man an woman wll be
equal s the ay a woman woul walk aoun town wth a pot
belly an thnk shes sexy/hot. Well that s not happenn.
A man who s n a elatonshp can have numeous mpano
wa kano an be applaue fo t. Ths passes on as ben
male. if a female happene to o the same then she ets a
label ;a saa once ot me thnkn-a mans clane ha a
mpano wa kano an the man was fuous to the pont of
beatn he up. double stanas, i must say.
in poltcs a woman who stans he oun an neve wa-
ves s scone by socety. She s hate by even he own kn
just because she jone a mans wol an fouht wth the
best of them. Socety ctates a woman to be entle an tm
but f you stay fom ths steeotype, you become an o utcast.
Yet men play ths ty ame we call poltcs an they ae
accepte fo what they ae.
When a woman clmbs the copoate lae an becomes the
best in her eld, its whispered that she slept her way to the top.
When a man oes the same hs ha wok s applaue. Statst-
cally the woman wll be pa less than a male colleaue n the
same post.
When a man takes a woman to be, one hes just met she auto-
matcally becomes a chps funa, what name s ven to ths
man who has a habt of funan a woman who sells he waes
s lbele a posttute/whoe yet the man who samples these
waes on ffeent occasons o sleeps aoun a lot oesnt et a
label. Shoul he be labele a man whoe?
The few women who tespass the nvsble lne that ves man
an woman lve a full lfe. They enjoy lfe as men but wll even-
tually feel the bunt of the folly.
in a mans wol we ance to mans tune wshn an payn
that the promise of an equal world is fullled. In our differences
we ae unque, no one s supeo: n weakness thee s stenth
so lets not focus on what we can o cant o an embace us.
Who knows they mht just be envous of the womans wol.
