Being surrounded by a community that indulges you is truly a privilege🥹❤️ my mom said “I don’t care for it but for you I’d do it” and wowza not only did she do it but she visibly enjoyed doing it.
i think my mom is inlove with me, like thata, idk how to explain it kodwa nje she’s in awe and I see it in the way she speaks to me and just how she treats me in general. you’d have to see it happen in real time to understand what I’m saying.
I got into an Uber today, and the driver didn't say a single word. No "hello," no confirmation of my name, nothing. He just stared straight ahead, gripping the wheel. I was honestly getting annoyed and ready to leave a 1-star review for bad customer service. Then, I noticed his dashboard.
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
I will never ever be a cool girlfriend! Uma kukhona engingakuzwa kahle, uzongchazela kuze kuse. We’re not moving on from the topic until it makes sense to me😭😭😭
Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember anti-intellectualism is on the rise, literacy is in decline, and I don’t want to be a VICTIM!
Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
