Sorry I do not reach out as often as I used to, I have been second guessing my career path,debating my life choices,and sleeping in any free time I get to escape the reality that is my life.
i heard a therapist say, ‘your feelings are always valid, your behavior is not.’ she explained by saying feel what you feel but you need to be accountable for what you do as a result of those feelings.
The best advice I heard from a stranger was this: give luck more opportunities to bump into you. Leave the house, take a different road, travel, say yes to new experiences. The more you do, the more life surprises you in the best ways.
I am the stone that the builder refused
I am the visual, the inspiration
That made Lady sing the blues I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark that lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right I am the ballot in your box, the bullet in the gun
The inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son
The story that just begun, the promise of what's to come
And I'ma remain a soldier 'til the war is won
Pretending not to care is just not fun.

Mine is the SeSotho word for forgive me “nthswarele” which makes me think of the grace that’s needed to forgive as the person who wronged you asks you to “hold this for me”
You can't build a serious economy on malls, fintech, tenders and imports.
