Unpleasant Surprises. Content Warning.
I've distanced myself from everyone, and the weight of broken relationships bears heavily on me, a relentless erosion of my self-esteem. Despite my desperate grip on the fragments of laughter and beautiful thoughts, it's as if my patience finally gave in. The haunting separation from my own family, all for the sake of fleeting friendships and brotherhood, leaves a deep scar. Anything new only entices when it remains untouched by selfishness. In this journey of disbelief, I had companions aplenty, and every moment, every chapter shall find its place in my diary, their stories etched with truth. Only the names will be concealed, a veil of respect for those who reside in my memories.

African history
Africa, being the second largest continent after Asia and having the largest number of countries, has a rich and diverse history. The northern coast of Africa is mountainous, while the Sahara, the largest non-polar desert on the planet, lies just south of it. The Sahara has had a significant impact on the history of sub-Saharan Africa, which is markedly different from that of the North. The Nile River Valley gave rise to several civilizations, and moving further south, the sub-Saharan region has a variety of terrains, including grasslands, tropical rainforests, and river valleys such as the Niger and Congo. East Africa is mountainous with plateaus and large lakes, and the Cradle of humankind is believed to be located in modern-day Kenya. In the south of Africa, there are dry deserts, hills, and plateaus, which are home to some of the most valuable mineral resources in the world. The origins of agriculture in Africa are believed to have begun about 7,000 years ago in the Sahel, the area between the Sahara and the Savannah. Hunting and gathering were the primary means of subsistence, and it was only after the Sahara became drier that some populations migrated south, spreading their farming techniques and leading to more diverse crops.
