When you date a Zulu man and he says ‘sesikwesinye isigaba manje’ and you’re like HUH? I thought we were getting to know each other. Athi “cha, phela ngeke ngizwe ngawe ukuthi sikuphi, siyaqhubeka, siyathandana manje.” Jesu! Sike sabona emhlabeni!.

Until I finished Matric, we had no electricity at home kwaMadlala. It was gas/ paraffin for the stoves & the fridge, a generator for the TV & candles for lighting. I’ve just spent two full days with no electricity. Old ways kick in. Gas, candles, charging in the car 🤷🏿♀️.

Be with someone who actually likes you. Who genuinely likes you as a person. Not someone who sees all that you are / enjoy as off / a joke / weird / not how they would do things or be and therefore invalid.

We don’t own people. We shouldn’t every even try. They have stories with other people. They have entire lives outside of their story / life with us. The life aspect we share with a person is just one dimension of their broader existence. We 👏🏿 do 👏🏿 not 👏🏿 own 👏🏿 people.

Sometimes we don’t accept a truth because of the source of the truth. Look at what is being said. Look at why you don’t like hearing it. It’s possible to miss a really important message and take action on it simply coz you didn’t want to hear it from a certain person.

If your ambition makes you deceptive and your progress is dependent on creating pitfalls for others - you’ll get very far and then you’ll be made to come back. If your power is manipulative and manipulable, you’ll get far, for others - not you. But you alone will account.
