My Prom,21 October 2020.

They day finally came, the day of my prom! I remember being so nervous and in the moment. I had so much to do and time was catching up on me.
 Keyword:TIME that is what defines you on that day. Walking through the red carpet while everyone is chanting your name is thrilling. By the end of the night we all had our heels off,dozens of pictures were taken and we danced our butts off. I will remember that night forever.
 These are my tips on how you should get ready for your prom:
1. Have an allocated budget and plan everything revolving around your budget.
2. Do not put yourself under unecessary pressure you don't need the most expensive dress,shoes or car to look good or be memorable.
3. Plan everything way in advance,if you are getting your dress/suit designed make sure you start your arrangements 6 months in advance.
4.Be open to trying new things,like that set idea you have of your dress but there may be something better out there.
5. Go for fittings two weeks before the event.
6. Don't panic if things do not go according to plan.
7.Live in the moment,enjoy your day to the fullest.

The smart to average kid pipeline

My inspiration for this post came from a YouTube video titled ' You were a gifted kid 7 years ago. Now what?' by David Achu, I will link it down below. I won't toot my horn but I was a pretty smart kid. I got most of the awards in primary school and early on in high school. Being smart was my brand until fast forward to late high school and varsity. I know I am not the only one who has had this experience so let's take a lot into the dynamic of being a smart kid, overachiever, or even a child genius. You are not smart, you score well. The public school system in South Africa is focused more on feeding information to children rather than teaching students. The teachers are under pressure, schools are overcrowded and resources are limited. So, the system bases which children are bright on who can memorize the most information and who can get the highest scores. I mean scores do matter, APS/GPA matter and it also determines what you study in the future and...

We may have to do this again

Good day, my love bugs. What if I told you that healing is not linear? What if I told you that there is not one big jackpot at the end? What if I told you that just as unpredictable as life is, so is healing? There are no incentives in the healing journey just reflection. At times healing feels like regression and can feel like a cycle of feeling immense contentment and hopelessness. So will the journey ever come to an end? I am still figuring it out but here are some tips about the healing journey you want to know. You are not better than anyone because you embarked on a healing journey. There is a sense of superiority that ‘pop psychology’ can give you which is going to be the downfall of mental health awareness. You should by all means share your good experiences with other people and even encourage people to embark on their healing journeys. However, you do not get to tell anyone that they are less than you or even look down on someone who is not on the same journey as you. Our jou...

The Overthinker Society

This post is for the people who have to make it. This is for the people who are grateful for their blessings but feel tired, conflicted, confused, and overworked. I decided to talk about overthinking because I am an overthinker. I actually do not struggle with overthinking I do very well with it. I have been overthinking about this post. I have been overthinking my writing and my whole life in general and I know I am not the only one who does this. I have been facing sleeplessness this past two weeks and I read on PharmEasy that overthinking disrupts sleep. I have been more stressed than ever and now I struggle with getting a good night’s rest. This is because your body does not allow you to sleep when your mind is not at peace. Ruminating on almost everything and worrying constantly about things over which you have little or no control often lead to fewer hours of sleep. We are our own worst critics, overthinking is often a result who having been continuously disappointed in the pa...
