Marriage exposes weak skills
Marriage has no hiding place. If you cannot talk well, it will show. If you do not know how to manage money, it will show.
If you avoid hard talks, it will show.
Love alone will not cover these gaps. Bills will come. Stress will come. Real talks will come.
Marriage exposes what you skipped learning as an adult.
It does not shame you, but it will pressure you to learn fast.
You either grow the skills, or the home stays tense.
That is the truth.

The more internal work you do on yourself, and yes it never ends; the less attractive being out there becomes.
You connect more honestly with yourself and with what your soul actually needs. Being around people who are still running away from themselves, no matter how much you love them, becomes less appealing . People stuck in denial, locked in their misfortunes, or caught up in the loop of performance, convinced that being impressive, hyper visible, or socially validated will somehow fix what they refuse to face exhausts you.
You begin to prefer your own company. Not because you think you are better, but because you no longer have the appetite for pretence or the need for trauma bonding. You look at others and think, I can’t wait for you to return to yourself.
The anger, shame and pain you carry can only be healed by you. The peace and restoration your soul longs for can only be activated by you. It is not found in expensive alcohol, designer clothes, luxury holidays, chronic whoring or gossip or being mean to others.
Good morning and may God bless you.
It begins with Phuza Thursday, the warm-up that spills into Friday and Saturday, the official binge drinking days. Sunday, once a sacred day for family and rest, now stands proud on the drinking calendar. Then comes Mogodu Monday, stretching the weekend binging.
By Tuesday, the cumulative five-day hangover sets in; Wednesday is shaky. Come Thursday, the whole cycle starts again. We joke about it, but I doubt our children are in on the joke. They grow up watching us parents lost and submerged in bottles. In the process, their emotional needs are met half way, productivity in workplaces suffers under the weight of exhaustion and alcohol-induced brain fatigue.
May we all remember that each binge steals hours from our selves and our children. Each binge weakens our homes and chips away at our dignity and the future we claim to be building.
PS. Don’t mind me. I’m just a grumpy, boring old fart. Where do I get off writing this nonsense. Rha sies! Uzenza ‘bhetere’ la Lupi. Xa eqale wangubani yena. O nagana o gore o mang- kgosi ya lefatshe
If you have a child that can articulate themselves at an early age and exudes confidence , you have an obligation to ensure that the environment you place them in does not break this out of them.. you cannot surround them with adults with poor self esteem and ignorance
The application was for the return of the minor children to Germany in terms of article 12 of Chapter III of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.
It had nothing to do with custody - see article 19 of the Convention: a “decision under this Convention concerning the return of a child shall not be taken to be a determination on the merits of any custody issue”
An important precedent in the growing area of revenge porn cases.
A thread 🧵
KS (Plaintiff) and AM (1st Def) were in a relationship from August 2014 to January 2015. AM led KS to believe that he was not married and proposed to her, she accepted the proposal in December 2014. In January 2015, SHM (2nd Def) approached KS and informed her that she was AM’s wife - KS immediately ended the relationship.
you really don't realize how much a person sets you back until you no longer deal with them anymore. the weight lifted off ur shoulders is undeniable. suddenly, u're left wondering how u tolerated the stress for so long. sometimes ppl not being in ur life is blessing in disguise.
Introverts are very private people with a small circle. They value quality more than quantity. They don't need a crowd to validate their worth. They've seen fake friendships. Drama. Gossip. And walked away from it all. A simple peaceful life. That's all they want.
Introverts don't chase money, status, or titles. What fulfils their soul is meaning. Understanding how it all works. How everything is connected to everything. Their own mind. Emotions. Their inner world. And solving the ultimate puzzle "who am I".
