Culture, Tradition and In-laws

Hello Beautifuls So I’ve just gone through an experience that had me questioning everything.. so much so I had to put pen to paper.. The question of ideals.. let’s talk about my ideals.. For the longest time, I never wanted marriage, it was just something I never aspired to nor dreamt of.. even when lobola was paid, I didn’t get new dreams of a white wedding.. I’ve just never been there.. I always thought I would travel.. for years.. not necessarily high class travel just chasing my heart I guess.. experiencing awe in every way unimaginable. I would then settle down a few decades later and adopt 4 beautiful kids.. we were then gonna be that awkward family that never quite fit into spaces for various reasons but could create the love we’ve always wanted and needed from and with each other. Fast forward to present day reality, I’m traditionally married and at each visit to the in-laws, find myself particularly taken aback.. and more of the inability to fit, the...

Why Are You Never Afraid...

Hello Beautifuls**!! We're on holiday and hoping that you guys have had an incredible time with family, filled with love and all things that you understand to be love and an expression of love!!

Today. I thought the question was odd until hubbs mentioned that, the asking of me and my habits was actually not weird nor awkward but a normative. Perhaps going back to the question was my beginning, why did this beautiful boy ask me such a loaded question? We'd spoken about my ventures in general - the bike, on foot, in hike etc but then we got to the most interesting bits, where I was telling them about how I don't actively consume sugar and the preferences - considering i'm not a small girl by nature yet here we are. ...

Caution, Fear, Excitement, Wonder

Hello Beautifuls!! I hope you’ve had a fantastic week!! Today I had so many revelations I thought perhaps it fair to share. We are anxious of so much.. I read somewhere that anxiety is a product of not living in the present, which makes sense I guess. The following was my journey, Caution I saw, a girl, on the boat today, going on a snorkel safari in hope to see dolphins, she was so afraid but had decided to do this because her boyfriend had wanted to, they are young, and the love in its purity is beautiful. She reminded me that often times we push past our own fears to best support the ones we love.. she was sick the entire boat ride and when we stopped, I told her the sick feeling only gets better off the boat.. she felt better immediately when she got into the water. When you’re afraid, jump in. Throw caution to the wind. Excitement At lunch, as a Fortuna slowed down over the sandy road of Ponta, one of the little kids jumped on the back...
