we don't heal first and love later, we heal in love, through love, around love. in the presence of people who are safe enough, stable enough, willing enough to walk with us through the hard stuff.
Qué año tan cruel. Pensé que por fin las cosas iban a salir bien. Nunca imaginé que terminaría siendo el año que más me rompería, el que me agotaría mental y emocionalmente hasta dejarme sin fuerzas.
This year humbled me in ways I never asked for. Lost people, lost peace, lost confidence & lost a little bit of myself too. I’ve survived things I never thought I’d have to face. I just hope life gives me a reason to believe that all this pain wasn’t for nothing.
People think I'm single because nobody wants me.
Babe, I'm single because I'm not interested in raising a grown man, competing with other women, begging for basic respect, or applauding someone for doing the bare minimum.
Two people who genuinely want each other will eventually have to UNLEARN some things. Like poor communication, pride, running away, shutting down, and assuming the worst. Real love isn't just finding your person; it's learning how to LOVE them better.
“I'm asking you this Mr Matlala because that is one of the allegations made that you were tipped off by Sergeant Nkosi and because you were tipped off there's a suspicion that Mr Jerry Boshoga was at your house and was moved because you knew that the police were coming to your house” Madlanga Co-Commissioner Adv Sandile Khumalo
“That thing never happened” Vusimuzi Cat Matlala
I don’t think people understand how badly some of us want a softer life. Not necessarily a luxurious life. Just one where everything doesn’t feel like a constant uphill battle
I am honestly not okay, guys. 💔 A group of high school learners beat up my 8-year-old son while he was waiting for his school transport and stole his school bag. He's just a little boy. What is happening to our children? I'm heartbroken. 💔
A liar cannot lead a household. A cheater cannot lead a household. A man who refuses to take accountability cannot lead a household. A man who cannot control his emotions cannot lead a household.
I think the hardest part of adulting is that you have to keep going, no matter what you’re dealing with, how you feel or what life throws at you. Even on the days when you have nothing left to give, life goes on and somehow, you have to keep up.
