Nadine Wessels a.k.a. Reign a.k.a Is missing her "qlique". Apparently they moved without letting her know. She is a hundred percent certain that her fashion sense might be responsible. Just to re-assure the reader - NO! She does not dress like a fifteen year old ALL the time. She does own suits. She's not too worried. Yet! 😳 The writer will lecture you that complaining is a disease. So, apologies for this. 🫶

Get real - money talks
Get real - money talks
Get real - money talks
Economics dumbed down.
Economics dumbed down.
Economics dumbed down.
When did life get so expensive?
So has it. Or have I just become poorer? The shattered economy in South Africa is a dark stain on our government. I should know. I am one of the casualties. Some of my friends sit on the white sands of Mozambique, visa, and passport ready to go.
Me and my posse? We know the Post Office is bankrupt. Home affairs has aa four month back-log and if ANYONE knows the new driver's licence procedure. Please let us know.
Ever felt like the world is conspiring against you? I have because it has!
A lot of positive change and a whole lot of bull. Social media is on the "accept your body" bandwagon again. Ladies. We know and we do. It still does not mean I'm getting onstage in a bikini. So ☮️
In any case, who needs a diet when you cannot afford food. If A + B = C where A is image. B is money and C is consumerism? You work it out. This is not advanced mathematics.
Tuesday - tu es a day?
So dreary days. The tires are coming off. Literally and metaphorically. See, PROOF! The router is barely alive, the tyre is really punctured and well…you see my point. I am the optimist and even I cannot think of a good reason to get out of bed. On top of that I told everyone 2023 is going to be bliss. Guess the bubble popped.
Not necessarily a sad thing. It just means I once again begin again. (Not what I want, but I am not twelve anymore i.e. I REALLY don't want to begin again.) If life is the ultimate game, I must be the domino. The one that's all chipped and you know if you toss it the right way, you'll get your six. I'm trying for one. Playing with a loaded dice which is not mine - I'm not winning yet!
Then again, I can change the game. Ask for a new deck. Make sure the mirror breaks. As one of favourite poets once said: "I did not know I had permission to lie and cheat…". Mr. Cohen, rest in peace, you did see The Future. Now we have arrived, I've seen it too, and it is expensive.
I do not know what the future holds. I do know that I will sleep and dream.
The sun will rise. We move forward. Staring down the enemy. Hope does not blink. But a fractured glass ball does make me wink and burst into laughter. Now buoys with glass balls - what do you think? This is magik on a budget.
See, I blinked ;)
Is that the sound of pitchforks I hear? No, this IS Johannesburg. Garden tools and hammers? My ears are being used by my spirit animal. Of course, if you want to believe that - feel free.
Respect is earned.
With that in mind, let us never forget those who decided to change their stories. I respect their choices. Does not make them different from any one of us. Inspire us and teaches us. And for that you have our deepest gratitude. Robert Downey Jr. - Ironman does not do your story justice.
Keep in mind, life is a journey. We know the destination. Don't race. As a particularly good friend pointed out to me the other day: "The fact that there is only a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic."
Does anyone know if heaven has wi-fi and if so, what's the password? Amen? Too obvious. That's for the direct line.
Never forget:
Those who loved you, against all odds.
Your manners.
The seven sins and the seven saviours.
Talking helps, listening is better.
If you always play by society's rules - you will get nowhere.
Stay true.
Commitment is demanding work.
Writing from the ether.
