NEWLANDS, Harare - Area man Mike Tarumbwa (35) booked an appointment with a therapist in the capital despite being fully certain that he was going to engage in an exercise of disregarding everything that the therapist had said to him and continue on his irredeemable path of incessant shitty decisions that have become such a huge marker of his existence ever since adulthood commenced.
Tarumbwa felt the overwhelming urge to put his life in order
and this compelled him to take the bold decision of booking an appointment with
Feel Good Mental Health Services in Newlands, Harare. “Given how everything in
my life has been going off script, I just thought it wise to book an appointment
with a therapist, you know, get shit off my chest and all that. It’s a bold
move, I have to say, and I’m scared as fuck. But we ball regardless,” Tarumbwa
intimated to The Reporters just after five minutes of completing the scheduling
of the appointment with the receptionist, whom he said was an “adorable hun”.
“You know, sometimes you have to make the uncomfortable
decisions. I have always been doing shitty things in my life and I wonder what
the cause could be. Maybe it’s the childhood trauma, maybe it’s my wife and our
two bloody children, maybe it was the high school bullying. I don’t know. All I
know is that the adrenaline and the high I get from making shitty decisions is
simply comparable to none,” Tarumbwa continued.
Although he was proud of booking an appointment with Dr. Amy
Sanders, one the finest therapists in the capital, Tarumbwa admitted that after
the therapy session concludes, he will continue with making shitty decisions.
“Let’s see how this therapy thingy goes. My family –
especially my older brother and big sis – have put me in a corner. This whole
therapy thing was their idea. I can’t help myself though, I am so sure, hell,
100% sure, that I am going to make shitty, infuriating decisions after the therapy
concludes. Dr. Sanders could despise me for it. She is a professional. My
family though; those goddamned pricks could even disown me!” He said that regardless of the
negativity spurred by his family, he will not stop making shitty decisions.
Dr. Sanders told Tarumbwa in a brief consultation, “You
already know what you want to do, Mike.” Mr. Tarumbwa insisted the US$400-per-session
appointment had to continue nonetheless. “It’s pretty much convenient to erase
the guilt and shame of my own poor mental health actions through therapy,” he
bellowed. Despite placing enormous and unwavering faith in liberal economics
with his very own life ever since he started shitting solids, he often doesn’t know
why he feels like shit every day, making shitty decisions in the process, he
revealed to The Reporters.
