Exhale the pains of our yesterdays and inhale the hopes of our todays also taking deep breaths with the faith that our tomorrows will unfold into brighter days.
Release all that tension from our yesterdays and inhale the beauty that lies in our todays and dream that our tomorrows will bring a more meaningful and productive day.

Adam and Eve!
I just want to be alone tonight! Alone in my own thoughts alone from the world and the evil souls in it alone! Alone far away from all these judgments.
In a place where I'll be appreciated for who I am.
In a place where I won't be judged by the way I walk,the way I talk,the way I dress or the way that I live my life.
This frustration kills me because right now I just want to be alone! Alone far away in a world where petrol prices aren't an issue! Where there's no politics and no elections where we are all being lied to!!Alone in a world where I can express myself and not have to worry about what abo mum Ruby or abo malume Jabulani that are going to talk about me, weeeeeh abo shwashwi! Far from a world where people are stealing my ideas and getting away with it! Far from a world where normal people are calling themselves celebrities*we are all one and in my world we are all equal because we were all created by one MAN!
Far from a world where fat people are calling themselves "thick bitches" far from this world where people are busy having unprotected sex but say they don't want babies or an std.
Alone far from all these assignments that have to be handed in ,alone in a world where even the colour of my skin has no sort of "stereotyping" yes I'm black and I'm proud of it! and its not like I chose to be black so sit down and deal with it.
Far from this world where people are telling me that I'm a bad girl and that my friends are bad to!Far from this place where people rape innocent people while others are record it! Far from this place where Kibi hung his 5year old daughter and hung himself! Far from this place where Lebo was burnt by her own boyfriend who is now a free man! Far from this place where I don't have to be hated and gossiped about because I'm unique! Far from this place where people are constantly reminding me that I'm a crazy loud girl!!! I've been hearing it for the past 19years its starting to get abit boring now.Far from this place where abo mamazala ba funa izi mali zama doda wetu!yoh yoh yoh! Take me NOW before I even get married and then divorced married and divorced again! Take me to a place where I can sing while giving birth! Whats this whole drama about? Why does giving birth have to be such a "painful"process anyway! Ha yes yes yes now I know where I want to go take me to a place where I can also be like Adele! Yep I also want to sing and write songs about my broken heart so that I can also be celebrated and win 8grammys!
Take me a world where I can sing my heart out!far from this place where people murder people and get away with it!
FUCK ADAM AND EVE FOR EATING THAT DAMN APPlE!!!! I HOPE that their asses are burning in hell! FUCK THEM because now I have to live my life with this damn thing called "sin".
Take me far away from this place where women have lost their ambition! Far from this place where women are now chasing married men and their money instead of making their own! Take me far from this world where Beyonce has believed that she can "run the world! Far from this place where Micheal Jackson became a white man over night(may his talented bleached soul rest in peace)I remember him singing "it don't matter if your black or white" how ironic?.
Lord take me!far from this place that's polluting my mind by having people trying to convince me that 2pac has risen from the dead! Take me far from all these fashion trends that I'm pressured to follow ... 1season its colour blocking now it monochromatic fashion, WILL IT EVER STOP?!
Far from this place where I'm told that I need a degree in order to make it in life*what the hell... my president doesn't have a qualification and he's busy telling me to go to school! School for what when I can also use my scandals and connections to get me to the top! Anyways who came up with this whole thing called education? How come our great grandmothers couldn't read and right but they lived long lives!lives longer than the "rich and educated"
And who the hell is this Chuck Noris dude tryna act live he created earth! And whats this whole thing ya "bosso ke mang"? Lord I need to escape hey! Run far away from all this madness!
Lord take me to that place! That place where I role a joint in public,smoke my weed all day! Enjoy my high and not be judged or called a"pot head".Take me far from this place where I'm being judge because I have a matching tattoo with my best friend that I met a year ago! LORD KERE CAN YOU HEAR ME wang'kutlwa mara ye???
Take me far from this world where my president can marry 6wives and still be respected??? Anyways Lord didn't Adam only have one wife? Or am I wrong? Am I reading from an incorrect bible? Take me to a place where I can have short hair and still be beautiful because I'm an african...A DAUGHTER OF THE SOIL!!
A place where there is no such thing as this whole thing called winter!
Take me to a place where people won't tell me that I'm too skinny and that I have big bOObs! Or that I have to be defined as a "yellow bone " in order to be "pretty" who came up with this whole "yellow bone" thing anyway? Honestly!!! Look here Lord I'm not complaining but what I'm asking for is to just go! Move me to another planet! And in this planet I don't want to be judged! I don't want people to tell me that I'm a "cheese girl" because I apparently"twang". Why can't you take me to a place where we are all kings! Where woman are appreciated! Where there's no teenage pregnancy or this thing that's killing our brothers and sisters!
Take me to a place where I don't have to set an alarm so that I won't be late for my lectures! To a place where I don't have to worry about walking or getting my drivers license because I can FLY! To a place where we can all sing all day and write poetry simply because WE CAN! To a place where there's no such thing as "beauty queens". To a place where we can all sit down and appreciate each others beauty!
To a place where my family members don't have to die! Where there's no fucken divorce,Sin,anger or fucken CANCER!
Take me to this place! Or I'll pop by your door sooner than you expected me to! Cause maybe like 2pac I could also rise from the dead and prove to the whole world that this YOLO thing is a whole load of BULLSH•T.
So can I book my ticket to this place or will you take me in my sleep?
See you when I get there...

From a Princess to her King♥
It's not everyday that a princess takes the opportunity to thank her king,her hero and her superman.
I thank my heavenly father for blessing me with the earthly father that I had.YIP my daddy was one of a kind,he was heaven sent! My daddy, my soldier,my source of strength,my everything and my WORLD.Even though things are no longer the same I will continue to give great praise and thanks for the mark that you left in my life.
My heart was the moon and you were the first man to walk on it! See your a legend daddy! My talents were developed because of the potential that you saw in me and because of your hope I learned how to dream. My love for music and art is bottomless because of the long Sunday afternoons that we spent together listening to good music while I sat on your lap and your words of wisdom have seen me through the darkest of days.Nobody says my name "Nhlanhla" the way you did and those are one of the many things that I miss about US and like you always said I'll always be your "little madam".
I'm taking this moment to thank all the men that play the roles of real mean in the lives of their little angels.
You have help to plant in us seeds that are soon to blossom into creation greater than any man has ever seen.
Enkosi for being there,playing your part and for taking responsibility.IT'S MEN LIKE YOU THAT WE DREAM OF GETTING MARRIED TO ONE DAY...Thanks for everything.
FROM A"little madam" TO HER "daddy" with love♥

"It's.Engraved.In.My.Soul"
I carry in me the Spirit of a POWERFUL.THINKER
The tongue of a WISE.SPEAKER
The HEART of a TRUE.BELIEVER and
The MIND of a GREAT.ACHIEVER
It's my way of life,its in my nature
Can't be taken away from me
Its engraved in my SOUL.
Sisterhood: for a sister, by a sister
with mel and koki in december on our way to a wedding:
my nieces khgotaso and onarene:
It means so much to me to know that there will always be that circle of friends that I can rely on, that sister that's always there to hold your hand through it all,that shoulder to cry on* and that lady whose going to be there through it all.My mother always says "Rethabile motho ke motho ka bato" and now that I'm away from home I can see it.Its a cold world that we live in and it would be so much warmer if sisters learnt to appreciate one another! If ladies learnt to compliment each other instead of having to compete for no good reason. My sisters(some biological: Melita some not Melody Manthata, Zinhle Sibanyoni,Towa and Nontsika) are always and will always be there! be it when I need a lift in life, advice on matters of the heart or on simple things like lending me a top that I'd love to wear for the day*hides her face. We may fight and yes oh yes we may laugh,we may argue and we may disagree but its good to know that they'll always be around till the day I may be laid to rest(YOU BETTER BE THERE).I call for all sisters ,different races ,cultures,standards of living, sisters of every colour and shape yes you with that brazilian weave or even you with your natural locks,let's be there for eachother.Help each other, be it in the work place, fitting rooms in the mall,helping to raise each others children or even smiling and complimenting at a random sister in the street( its a Monday we all need some sort of cheering up).Tell ur sister how much you love and appreciate her! give her that random phonecall! Or that simple bbm,tell her how much you value her and that she is beautiful,that she is strong and can conqueror the world cause you'll always be there for her! who knows tomorrow you might need that boost,that call,that top you'd love lend from her,that hug or those simple 3 words that mean the world to every sister" YOYOU ARE BEAUTIFUL"... BY A SISTER ,FOR SISTER
