In a lighthearted yet bold message, Triephornia Thomson Mpinganjira took to social media to express her thoughts on personal growth and self-awareness. In a post that has garnered attention, Mpinganjira shared a humorous encounter, writing:
“Akuti ndizikula ndisiye chibwana. Ndangoyankha kuti ubwino wake siine m’bale wanu sindilikhalanso kwanu munandidziwilanso pa soshomidiya.”
This candid statement, which translates to “They say I should grow up and stop being childish. I simply replied that luckily, I am not your relative, and you only know me through social media,” reflects her unapologetic stance on being misunderstood or judged based on online interactions.
Mpinganjira added to the humor by recounting a playful exchange, asking: “Do you know my shoe size?” When the answer was no, she responded, “Eeee basi, you know nothing about me,” emphasizing the superficial knowledge people often have of each other, especially through social media platforms.
As a way of concluding her witty post, she wished her followers a “Happy Mother’s Day” and signed off with “Macheza” (chats), hinting that the post was made in a spirit of fun and reflection.
The post, while casual, touches on the often complex relationship people have with social media and the assumptions made about one another. It humorously challenges the idea that people can truly know each other based solely on their online presence. Mpinganjira’s remarks have sparked conversations among her followers, with many praising her for being true to herself and encouraging others to avoid judgment.
Triephornia’s playful yet meaningful message serves as a reminder not to take online personas too seriously and to celebrate individuality, especially on a day like Mother’s Day that celebrates women and their unique qualities.
As her post continues to circulate, it stands as a testament to her vibrant personality and her ability to inspire laughter and thought at the same time.
