"I love you" is very confusing🤔
I think each person has their perspective of these words...they hold unique worth/meaning in each one of us...I shouldn't have to give your words a meaning
It's not being rude when I ask what you mean.
My nephew is missing since yesterday morning 26/05/2026 in Mialula, Vosloorus.

Today I just discovered that i've been lying to myself that I'm protecting my peace all in while
I've been fighting to stay in control and avoid being emotional and feeling my feelings. I'm very defensive
And that's my toxic trait I've been trying to recognise for over 10 years
Having a struggle of doing kinder things for people without the back voice telling me gore "ba ka ntlwaela blyn."
And convincing myself that I do things I want to do for people because I want to do them
I don't like this stage of my life development
IF A HEAVILY PREGNANT WOMAN COLLAPSES IN FRONT OF YOU.
DON'T BE SCARED, BE BRAVE.
SHARE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
There is a particular hush that enters a room when a pregnant woman collapses, a hush that feels like fear holding its breath, and like hope waiting to be summoned. And as a gynae doctor, I have learned that in those quiet, trembling seconds, what you do and what you refuse to fear can save not one life, but two.
And so, let us speak plainly, and yet tenderly, about what must happen.
1. First, do not panic.
Because panic is a thief. it steals clarity, and it steals time. Breathe. Steady yourself. You cannot rescue another while drowning in your own fright.
2. Check if she is present.
Tap her shoulders. Call her name the way you would call someone back from a drifting edge. Is she breathing? Is her pulse humming softly under the skin of her neck?
These answers guide your next breath, and your next move.
3. Tilt her belly, slightly, purposefully to the left. Because the womb, in all its beauty and weight, can press against the great vessels at her back, and because shifting it gently to the left frees her heart to receive blood again.
It is a small movement, yet it is also a quiet miracle.
4. And if she is not breathing, start CPR. Immediately.
Place your hands in the centre of her chest, just below and between her breasts, and push. Push as though life itself is calling through your palms. Push hard. Push fast.
Give breaths if you can.
Call 911, or your emergency number, because skilled hands are on their way but your hands are the first responders her body is waiting for.
5. Remember the unforgiving truth of time. In pregnancy, you have 4 to 5 minutes, not stories, not speculation, not hesitation, just minutes.
Minutes that can make the difference between a life restored and a life remembered.
And let me say this with the gentle firmness of a doctor who has seen too many preventable tragedies: For all the campaigns, and the jingles, and the well-funded PR… it will be a quiet tragedy if you still do not learn CPR.
Learn it. Practice it. Carry it like a form of love. Because one day, and may that day never come, and yet may you be ready, it might be your hands that hold the thin thread between life and loss.
Share this. Spread it.
And perhaps… save someone.

I can't give up on something good for me just because it's disturbing my peace...
It might just be my time to grow for better
