Dear Lonely Girl

Dear lonely girl,
I know its hard, I know its hard to wake up every morning ready to fill your day with anything and everything that could distract you from your thoughts.
I know its hard some days to pull yourself out of bed and face the world when all you want to do is crawl back into bed, into oblivion.
I know its hard not to finish an entire ice cream tub in one sitting because you will do anything to fill that whole deep inside your heart.
I know its especially hard to resist drowning that whiskey bottle hoping against hope to find what you are looking for at the bottom of the glass.

Dear lonely girl,
I know its hard to ever feel beautiful because each and every person that ever said you were didn't think twice about leaving you behind.
I know its hard to take any compliment seriously, after all if you were that awesome, that amazing, then that one guy that you thought was the one would have never left, right?
I know its hard to believe that anyone will ever stay till the end. Why would they? Especially when your father, the one man who should have taught you love, true love never bothered to know you.
I know its hard to resist the temptation to sleep with that one guy who seemed nice enough to buy you a couple of drinks because any touch, any sign of warmth is surely better than going back home to your empty bed.

Dear Lonely girl,
It's hard I know, to keep drowning every single day in your endless pit of depression, desperate to call for help but not knowing who to turn to.
But I promise you that one day, one day you will wake up happy, ready to make memories.
One day you will smile and genuinely smile without fearing what could go wrong.
One day you will enjoy a drink not to escape your feelings but because it tastes good.
'Cos damn it! This can't be it, it has to get better, I promise it will get better.

Dear lonely girl,
Everyday you wake up and face the world, every day you are alive and breathing, every day you are not lying in a ditch somewhere passed out is a victory.
Enjoy the small victories and one day maybe you won't be so lonely after all.

    Dang how emotional. So how do I hold back my tears in public?

    Dear lonely girl they say Its always darkest before the dawn. I say reciprocity is a norm that only the altruistic understand, we live to learn to get stronger and overcome. Hurdles are meant to be jumped over if you don't they remain where they are, try jump and when you fall shake the dust off for better life awaits beyond the hurdle. xoxo!

Lessons from The Entrepreneurship Catalyst

Walking into the UB sports arena on Wednesday morning, I had pegged the De Beers Entrepreneurship Catalyst Conference as just one of those events that I would benefit nothing from. You know the events that I am referring to. Where rich stuffy guys come and tell us about how they made it in long boring lectures. Boy was I glad that I was wrong. The event was nothing short of star studded, from 9 time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis, to representatives from Stanford University. Which was expected, after all it is De Beers. To kick off the day, Peter Hong from Google gave what to me was a life changing lecture. He comes from a science background having been a marine biologist at some point in life but has managed to end up at Google with some other interesting experiences in between. His talk, I can confidently say was the highlight of the day for me. Perhaps it was because it was first on the agenda in the morning but I would like to think it was more because of what he said. He f...

'Tis the season...

Is it just me or does Christmas seem to come earlier every year? Literally as soon as October ends you start seeing the signs: Christmas sales green and red everywhere Christmas cards invading the cards section (I almost feel bad for anyone who has a birthday during this time, its nearly impossible to find a birthday card!) Christmas themed food/drinks and of course CHRISTMAS TREES!! It's like a freaking epidemic! Christmas has now turned from a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ to a marketing gimmick for shops to make money! It is now one of the most commercialised holidays in the world! It's no longer about singing Christmas carols, acting out plays and actually going to church. It's now about who cooks the best Christmas dinner or who gives the best Christmas gift or who rocks the best Christmas sweater! It has become so terrible that we get into debt just so that we can have that special 'Christmas' with all the unnecessary cake...

Growing Up

I recently reached a very important stage in my life; turning 21! Yep, I am pretty old I know. So 21, everyone looks forward to this big moment in their life. It's when the whole world recognises you as an adult! You are finally free to do whatever you want. It's like being given a canvas and paint and painting the picture that is the rest of your life. A pretty exciting moment right? wrong! Well at least for me anyway. I mean at first I was psyched, I was finally 21. What could go wrong? And then I sat down and thought, I am 21. I am in my 20s and I have nothing to show for it. Over two decades I have been on earth and I hadn't even finished school yet! It was a nightmare. My friend called it an 'early mid-life crisis'. Of  course right now I am feeling a lot better about the whole thing, I mean I am still freaking out just a little bit but I will be ok. The point I am trying to make is even though growing up is great and everything, it can also be scary. The older...
