The Comeback

It's been a whole entire year and some months since I last wrote down my thoughts on here. I could lie and blame my busy life and university for my absence but I wouldn't be doing anyone justice. Truth is I got scared, I got scared of all the things going on around me that writing them down would have forced me to face them. Over the past year I have been through so much, both joy and pain, I have learnt so much, all of which I want to share 😊

 Firstly, you never know how strong you are until you have to be. And this applies to everyone, YOU ARE STRONG! It doesn't matter what you are going through, you will survive it. You just gotta have faith in yourself. Secondly we need to appreciate the people we have in our lives (friends and family). You never know when you are going to need them around you because nothing beats the support system comprised of your loved ones 💞

 You know that popular Justin Bieber song, Love Yourself? I know it has a different message to what I am trying to say but I am more focused on the title. You gotta love yourself. Before you love anyone else you have to love yourself, you have to know your worth. Can I pause for a second and just commend Bieber on that amazing Purpose album?! It was phenomenal! Anyway back to the issue at hand, we should all learn how to appreciate and love ourselves, that way we can easily love other people.

 And lastly never underestimate the power of time. It's a cliché I know but time heals everything. Give yourself time and you will see how everything will just piece itself together. It will work itself in the end and remember,

 It's always darkest before the dawn.'

 FYI that's what my tattoo says  and yes I got a tattoo 🙈 Moving on to less morbid stuff, I am finally graduating this year! After 5 long, endless years of higher education I am finally getting that coveted honours degree. You have no idea how long I have waited for this. But first I need to pass my final examinations and with that I have reached the end of today's post. All the best to everyone who has examinations in the next coming weeks 😘 And I promise to be more regular with my posts now. Cheers!

"Love"

Can I let you on on a big secret? I am a sucker for love, romance, fairytale ending, the works. And for the first time I am happy to say I am not ashamed of it. Why should I be? Sure love hurts and it involves heartache and drama and binge eating - okay if I don't stop now I might retract that statement. I just recently discovered a poet called Rumi, he said: All we need is love's confusing joy . Dude was on point! If we are all really honest with ourselves we know what we want and that is someone who will accept us with our perfections and imperfections. Someone who will never leave no matter the mistakes we find ourselves making. Basically someone to love us. But lets face it, we are afraid. Everyone is afraid to open up, to be vulnerable, to give someone else the power to hurt us, some more than others. Truth be told I am scared too, just like everyone else the fear of getting hurt stops me from enjoying the fruits of love. But who can blame me, look around, nobody really

Cainotophobia

Of late I have been interacting more with people, listening to their different opinions and not just listening but actually hearing what they have to say.  I have always fancied myself open minded but it recently came to my attention that I may be wrong. I, like most people, have a set way of doing things. There is a certain way that I have always done things, for example, the way I study for exams or the way I brush my teeth. It's routine, it works and I have never needed to change it. I mean I know I could do some things differently but who wants the hassle of trying a new method that might not be effective right? Wrong! That's the kind of mentality that leads to people being afraid of change.  I know it may seem like a small thing especially when I use such trivial examples like brushing your teeth but it's actually bigger than that. When we grow older, because we have adopted this 'no change' attitude, we let it affect important decisions that shape the cour

Out of my comfort zone

For what I am about to share to make sense, I need to give you a bit of background information. I am what my friends call an 'activity slut'. Its kind of a harsh term but completely factual. I am the kind of person who participates in literally everything that I come across, be it charity organisations, school related projects, societies, etc. If I feel like I could contribute something to any project I do it, without any hesitation. I love working with people and trying to make the lives of people around me better and being involved in all these projects gives me the opportunity to do just that. I also do it for selfish reasons, I want to leave a legacy that will live on for decades after I have left this earth. I want to be remembered by each and everyone I come in contact with. What? I am only human! But one thing I never do is get involved in anything where I am uncertain about its success. All my moves are calculated, I only take part in things  I know for sure I will be
