I’m sharing this because I honestly don’t know if it’s ruining my life or saving me. One thing I do know is that my gut feeling has never failed me; it never disappoints me. Every time it speaks, something eventually happens. I’ve seen it play out over and over again.

The first time I knew for sure that my gut was my superpower was when my mom and dad split up. My siblings and I stayed with our dad. It wasn’t easy, and even though he tried his best, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t play the role of our mother. I used to sit and imagine my mom coming back home, and I would jump in the air for joy, scream at my siblings, and tell them my mama was home, but she never came back to us.

Then a new tenant moved into the compound, a very nice lady. I wasn’t around when she moved in, but the moment I saw her, I just knew. I felt it deep down that she was going to use her woman powers to get close to my dad, and they would become an item. And guess what? That’s exactly what happened not long after.

I am an adult now and this superpower gut of mine has been quite helpful but there is a problem…

My first boyfriend, Kojo, was amazing at first. We clicked instantly, and everything felt smooth. But then, out of nowhere, my gut told me he was married. I tried to ignore it, but the nagging feeling wouldn’t go away.

It was a long-distance relationship, and I hadn’t visited him in about six months. When I finally did, the first thing I saw in his living room was a portrait of a woman, the only picture on the wall. He noticed my reaction and quickly said she was his big sister. I knew right then that something was off. Later, I found wedding photos hidden in his gallery, and that was the end.

We all say after heartbreak that we’re done with love. I said it too, but when one of those good and rich photographers living in the estates asked me out, I said yes because I liked him too. I really thought I had found my soulmate.

Then my superpower showed up again. I felt he was hiding something and that he had a sugar mummy, a white one too, and he was just using me to pass time.

That one too, I was right. After about a year and some months, this man told me he was going to his hometown. Later I found out his sugar mummy had actually flown him out of the country. He broke up with me. I said again that love was a scam and I wasn’t doing it anymore. I told myself I was better off single. But then I met Kwesi, and he looked like the one.

I gave him a tough time and played hard to get for a whole year. During that time, I was waiting for my gut to tell me something. That he was married, or had a sugar mummy, or had a girlfriend, just something. But nothing came, so I thought maybe I had finally found the one.

I said yes to Kwesi, and it’s been good. Amazing in fact. But currently, my gut has started talking and it’s saying Kwesi is gay. He’s in a relationship with a friend I’ve been studying critically.

I started thinking maybe my village people are at it again, trying to mess with the love I just found. He’s always with this friend. You call him, and he’s at the house of that friend. When he’s out, he’s out with this same friend, and it feels like I’m sharing my boyfriend with him. What made me more suspicious was that their chat is the only chat locked on his phone. I asked why, and he said I couldn’t read their boys’ stuff. That felt weird.

Now I’m wondering if my gut superpower is going to get this one wrong. I’m praying it doesn’t, but deep down, I’m not at peace.

I don’t know if this gut feeling is a gift or a curse. Is it protecting me, or is it making me paranoid? All I know is, it’s never been wrong.
