Kupewa: Mwamuna Wanzeru, Mkazi Wofatsa
Ndili ku koleji, ndinkafuna nditakhala wolemba zakudya. Kudya moyenera komanso kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi ndizofunikira popewa matenda ambiri kwa amayi ndi abambo, ndipo ndimaganiza kuti kukhala katswiri wazakudya kungapindulitse ine ndi odwala anga, komanso banja langa komanso anzanga. Tsoka ilo, sindine katswiri wa masamu kapena sayansi, kotero kuti ntchitoyo sizinandiyenderere, koma ndimagwiritsabe ntchito zomwe ndidaphunzira kuchokera ku maphunziro osiyanasiyana azaumoyo komanso zakudya zopatsa thanzi kuyesa kuthandiza banja langa ndi anzanga kukhala wathanzi.
Ndimayang'ana kwambiri kuthandiza abambo m'moyo wanga kukhala athanzi: bambo anga, mchimwene wanga, ndi bwenzi langa. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa amuna amakhala ndi moyo wotsika kuposa akazi - pafupifupi, amuna amafa ochepera zaka zisanu kuposa akazi.1 Chifukwa amuna nthawi zambiri amatha kufa ndi zina mwa zifukwa 10 zoyambirira za kufa, zomwe zambiri ndizotheka kupewa, kuphatikizapo matenda ashuga, matenda amtima, komanso matenda a chiwindi kapena impso.2 Ndipo chifukwa amuna nthawi zambiri amapewa kuwona madokotala awo, ndipo kuwona dokotala ndi gawo lofunikira popewa.3 Amuna nawonso sakonda kuvala chophimba ndi dzuwa pomwe atuluka panja. Chabwino, ndinapanga zomaliza, koma ndi zowona kwa amuna omwe ali moyo wanga!
Chimodzi mwamagulu omwe ndimawakonda kwambiri ndi Grateful Dead, ndipo nthawi zambiri amaimba nyimbo yotchedwa "Man Smart, Woman Smarter." Ngakhale sindikugwirizana kwathunthu ndipo sindikulimbikitsa amuna kapena akazi mwanjira ina iliyonse, ndiyenera kuvomereza kuti sayansi ikusonyeza kuti amayi ndi "anzeru" popewa kuposa amuna. Ichi ndi chinthu chabwino paumoyo wa azimayi, komanso zikutanthawuza kuti titha kuthandiza abambo m'miyoyo yathu kukhala bwino komanso anzeru popewa.
Ndipo Juni ndi nthawi yabwino kuyamba: ndi Mwezi wa Zaumoyo wa Amuna, womwe umayang'ana kwambiri pakudziwitsa za mavuto azaumoyo omwe angathe kupewetsa ndipo amalimbikitsa kudziwitsidwa koyambirira ndi chithandizo cha matenda kwa amuna ndi anyamata.
Ndimayesetsa kukumbutsa bambo anga, mchimwene wanga, ndi chibwenzi changa njira zosavuta zopewera kukhalabe opanda nkhawa. Izi ndizovuta kuposa momwe zimamvekera, koma ndizofunikira kwambiri! Ndimayesetsa kuwathandiza kusankha zakudya zabwino (bambo anga amanditcha kuti wowunikira chakudya), ndikumawakakamiza kuti azichita masewera olimbitsa thupi ndi ine ngakhale zitakhala chinthu chomaliza chomwe akufuna kuchita, kapena kuwakumbutsa kuti azivala pazenera nthawi zonse akamatuluka (makamaka pamene amandichezera kuno ku Colorado, chifukwa ndife ochokera ku New York ndipo dzuwa la Colorado ndi STRONG).
Ndimayesanso kuonetsetsa kuti amawonana ndi dokotala komanso wamano pafupipafupi kuti azikhala pamtundu ndikugwira zovuta zazing'ono asanasinthe kukhala zovuta zazikulu. Amatha kundipeza ndikunyansidwa kwambiri, makamaka ndikakhala kuti sindimawadziwa, koma amadziwa kuti ndichifukwa ndimawaganiziradi ndipo ndimafuna kuti akhale athanzi. Mwina sangandimvere nthawi iliyonse, koma ndizingoyesabe, makamaka pa Mwezi waumoyo wa Abambo. Mwezi uno, tiyeni tonse tichite changu kuti talimbikitse abambo m'miyoyo yathu kuti ayambe kukhala ndi chikhalidwe chabwino chomwe chitha kukhala ndi moyo wathanzi. Ngakhale zinthu zing'onozing'ono zimatha kusintha ndikusintha ziboliboli!
