Shoutout to everyone whose depression and trauma have hit so hard that they have ended up isolating themselves and losing their social life. You are not a bad person for taking time to heal and rebuild. Recovery can take weeks, months, or even years, and that is okay.

Toxic masculinity & harmful expectations placed on men often expressed in phrases such as “Indoda ayikhali” & “man up” have robbed many families of fathers, brothers & bread winners. It’s okay for men to express their emotional challenges.

An apology doesn’t give you a one way ticket to forgiveness. It’s you acknowledging your mistake, and owning up to it. What the person receiving the apology does with it, is up to them and you have no right to be mad about whatever choice they choose. You don’t get to put someone through the pain and expect them to heal on your terms.

Talking about mental health is not attention seeking. People die in silence everyday due to this judgement and then people finally say " I wish they spoke up" We live in a society that stigmatises mental health but mourns su***de.

A major problem we have in South Africa today is the lack of accountability.
When no one is held responsible for their terrible behavior, bad people continue to exist among normal people, even when they are clearly malicious and should be removed from society…..

People will talk no matter what you do.
You could be the kindest, most generous person, and someone will still find a reason to tear you down. Why? Because their words are a reflection of them, not you. People will always have something to say, especially when they can no longer reach you.

Being the "strong one" is the loneliest role you can play. Everyone comes to you for shelter, but no one asks if you're catching the rain too. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to put the weight down for a second.

Your worth isn't measured by how much pain you can carry without breaking. 🕊️

You honestly don’t know what you would do in any situation until you’re actually in that situation! It’s easy to say what you will and won’t do when you’re on the outside looking in‼️‼️‼️

There will always be another love, another job, another city but never another life. Don't be afraid to start again.

People will betray you then take revenge on you because you are not hurting enough from the betrayal.
