A letter to meself...






Love is awkward because even after the pain of having to let go of a lover who was not even mine to begin with, time healed everything and I am ready for love.I can smile again, laugh my lungs out, I am carefree and subtle because the journey to self-love has began.Of course it was scary and I thought I could not do it, because I always needed a "Him" by my side to feel whole.I am an all rounded woman on her journey to self-love, I have stumbled and bruised my ego, fell to my feet and craved love like nothing on earth. Now I know that it begins with me, It is soul deep.Beauty is not the pear body shape I have,oh!no. It is not the fluent languages I speak, it is not who I think you think I am.
Beauty is what I deem myself to be, it is who I see myself as, beauty is what I define it to beAnd according to me, Beauty is what I am, what I have learnt and what I live for , that is Beauty
SIGNED LETTER TO MESLF
I LOVE YOU
XOXO

Winterveldt is my Inheritance

Winners reside hereIntellectuals are born and bred
Normal is an understatement to the calibre and charisma of this beautiful country side
Time is linear and unending, it is forever there
Ever ready to party up a storm
Ready and willing to unite as a communtity for a fgood course
Very dedicated to a family orientated life, friends become family...
Elegance and supremacy oozes from the dusty streets of Winterveldt
Lively and loud,with kids merrily playing beside the fences of their respectable homes, the elders lazily enjoying Umqomboti while chatting about their daily business, dust fills the road as the bus stops to give way to mothers, fathers,students and scholars back from work,schol and varsity
Determined to succeed in their respective choice of work and lazying around
Together we are a hand full you have your fashion freaks,
