Allow me to introduce myself.

I have no amazing way to start this blog post so I'll start with... 

"Hello. How are you? I am fine thanks"

I know. Earth shattering.



I'm a young-ish single lady that lives in Johannesburg. It's been close to five years of living here and I am starting to feel like I can call this city my home away from home. I moved here from a little city called East London in the Eastern Cape . I was born in an even smaller town called Mthatha. Some of the greatest South African legends come from there and the rest from my homestead Cofimvaba. I think it would be tacky to mention that my hero and a man with a beautiful mind Tat'Thabo Mbeki (Dutywa which is a stone throw away) & the world's hero Tat'Rholihlahla Mandela were born (Qunu which is also a stone throw away) in Mthatha because that would be name dropping. (When we had the land - there were lots of stones to throw.. I couldn't resist that one...lol)

I'm not sure what point I was trying to make above but whatever. 

When I moved to Joburg I thought it was all going to be sunshine and roses. Well, the sun shines here a lot and there's a place called Rosebank and that's as far as it goes. A post on this will follow.

I am now only starting to find my feet. I am now in a position to chase my dreams, passions, find my purpose & live my calling. 



This year, I turn 33. This is a magical number for me. The number 3 has always been my favourite and two of those numbers together! I DIE. This is not the year that I die but it's definitely a year that I will realise many of my dreams which have turned into goals. Blogging being one. 

I work in corporate South Africa & am also studying towards my first degree. Again, that is a story for another day.

I used to have a blog about seven million moons ago called Lard Buster! I was young, don't judge the name. This was a weight loss blog. Did I lose the weight? Nope. I lost a little and then I gained it back plus VAT and then I lost a little. I've lost count.

I don't know if I can fully paint a picture of who I am in one blog post. I think it would box me and honestly, most times I surprise myself daily with myself. I guess we'll discover myself together. 

This is a passion project and cannot guarantee that I will post something everyday or every week. When the creative juices strike so will I and post will strike you. I will endeavour to keep the posts short & not write a novel with each post. 

With all of that said...let's discover together, learn together, laugh together, keep this space as real as possible but also positive. We have many negative voices & faces in the world I choose to be a positive voice & face.

Cheers & let's live a little



Stellah.

Online Dating...the first installment

Dahlings It's been a while... Let me start by saying that I hate dating. Whenever I write a post about my dating life, please always remember and refer to the above statement. I have a friend of mine who once said "I wish we all had bar codes that only matches with your life partner. We will not waste each other's time, we will know immediately if it's the right person for us." How I wish that were the case. We are in the thick of COVID-19. I have been in lockdown for almost 4 weeks. I have had a lot of time to think and I've just woken to the realisation that I am 34. I don't feel bad about my age at all. I love the thirties. I feel like it's such a romantic age with myself. I'm digressing. This is not a post about the thirties. The reason why I decided to publish my age is that I always felt like I was 27 until I realised I was 34. You know what that means for us women....tick tock.... I was watching a clip of The View on YouTube ...

Suffering and Sacrifice.

Is it the same thing? Hi Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. It's been a minute I know but life sometimes just gets in the way of having fun. Right now, I should be writing my last test for the semester (and then it's exams YAY! - sarcasm) but I have had this lingering thought for so long that right now it is bubbling over and I know I won't be able to focus until I put it out into the internet-universe like a true millennial. Life is hard. Life is effing hard. Ok I'm done bye! Jokes. I love stories. I love reading stories. I love hearing stories. I love watching stories. I love telling stories. I believe that everyone has a story to tell. The stories that I gravitate towards are 'rags to riches stories' or stories about how people had to suffer to get to their next level of success. It motivates me to strive for more in my life. It's almost like 'the grinding porn'. It's addictive. I NEED to hear stories like that on the...

End of the year...

Dahlings How are you? I'm fine thanks. The end of the year has literally snuck up on me. I did not expect it at all. AT ALL. I still can't believe that when I write the date tomorrow it will be 01/12/2018. If time sprints as quickly as it has been then day after tomorrow I will be writing 01/01/2019. Yup, it's Friday night and I'm home alone. I am still at war within myself because I feel like I should be out there playing with other kids, making the pots to happen and meeting new people, etc. The plans I had were cancelled and I said "Thank you Lord" because I LOVE being home on a Friday night. I feel like I can really decompress from the hectic week. But I digress.... Have you ever felt like change is happening atmospherically but in the physical realm nothing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is happening. I've been feeling for quite some time that I need to prepare myself for big changes. I feel like the changes are gonna be everywhere. Big changes. Good cha...
