@kaylenciaga Mine was an 18 month programme at Wits and we started a new module every 7 weeks, it was tough but I adjusted my entire life, especially the social part and also tried to make my weekdays more routine. I was in the office 4 times a week. Had classes online.
I once expressed to a then friend something that I didn’t like, I thought I was being honest and open but she misinterpreted it, insulted me and yaphela kanjalo. People claim to want honesty but it’s not true. Abanye abantu abafuni uxelelwa xa bewrongo
I think this taught me something and it’s that sometimes when people that once mattered to us, are going through something let’s put that aside and support them, you lose nothing but actually it shows maturity and growth on your side.
A friend who was ultimately family because ke one thing about my gran she loved people, came to support me. We hadn’t spoken in years but she flew down to PE to support my family and I. Messages from people that I hadn’t spoken to, to offer condolences.
It’s in the hard times where God reveals who your people truly are and loss certainly is a big revealer of this. Losing my grandmother has been one of the most difficult losses but the support and love I received from friends, family and colleagues, has been my source of comfort.
@lungelo_khoza_2 Yho sisi I used to do my nails, lashes and hair there at the Rosebank branch and I preferred certain people doing it. My nail lady left and went to Braam because of not being paid, my lash lady followed and then I managed to get a replacement that I liked, she’s also gone now.
One thing I’m learning, I can’t fix what I did not break, I am no longer taking accountability for things that I don’t know anything about. Abantu are adults and they need to act like it. You choose to stop speaking to me, I keep it moving. Ndicenga impilo mna, not abantu.
Losing some people was so hard at first, but for some reason I’m so grateful now. I am around people who actually love me and I am at peace, thank you God 🙏🏽
