This passivity casts over your body as you become an independent adult. I don't like it. It makes you numb to things the 20 y/o version of yourself would have clutched her pearls at.
It’s biblical to hire female lawyers to handle your divorce matters bc what God has joined together, let no man put asunder 🙏
Obey God. Hire a female attorney, today 💋
Our mothers didn't really do all of this. It wasn't always possible. The labour was passed on to daughters. We made fires, put those pots on the stove. They'd do the touch-ups for flavour but we did most of the work. We started cooking way before teenagehood.
Do not talk about discernment if you cannot recognise when someone needs compassion more than criticism and correction. There is a time to guide and a time to simply hold space for a person who is hurting. Wisdom knows the difference. And kindness knows it even faster.
Literacy is becoming the new class divide. Not formal education, LITERACY. Many people can't grasp nuance, satire, or irony. Illiteracy limits how you read the world and the room. The gap between people who engage with complex ideas and those who consume clickbait is vast.
As an adult with no kids, it's my solemn duty to embrace the hobbies and adventures my peers no longer have time for, because they've sacrificed their freedom to keep the human race alive. I must travel, nap, pursue whimsical interests, and have fun in their honor.
I always wonder how this is practical in real life. Your parents (or closest family) should get to know someone you’re seriously dating so they can see and alert you to things you don’t pay attention to because you’re in love. Lobola seku late and you’re basically saying they should let you get married to someone who is a stranger to them. And I think this is a problem with our cultures - how can you only start getting to know your child’s significant other when they’re already married? It doesn’t make sense.
