Yes it was certainly never meant to be forever, that much I knew from day one... It was all fun and games!
The long distance drives to Bloem and Kimberly was when I learned how the passion one has for what they do can and will determine the lifestyle one is capable of living....
The lessons I have about marriage at a young age stem from here, what being a wife one day means, what being a mother out of wedlock might mean for me, what being a mother will mean when the time is right, working hard and being independent before I can allow a man to be a part of that... I never thought that all these intricate teachings would come from this place of fun and games!
I learned that the standards we set for ourselves are the standards we should live by, just cause someone will feel like you're overdressed, doesn't mean you should change your outfit! It's not significant words but they've changed my life significantly!
The appreciation and respect I have is never ending! This is the place I needed to be in order to fully appreciate, experience, build and trust the place I am today... The beauty of planning is the most wonderful lesson I've taken from this place.
I live my life towards a phenomenal future with my people for you shared your story to better mine! Thank you:)
Who is that person, for you ladies? Take time out and smile in honour and appreciation of the knowledge and wisdom imparted to you! For it has changed your outlook on life:)
I'm forever grateful!
Life lessons are always the best guidelines to ones future.
ReplyDeleteI am forever thankful to the man I thought I would marry, who turned out to be the one to teach me: If it's real, it will make sense and you will never find yourself planning your life without them. I used to love him and yet, I had dreams of being independent and happy without him. He told me what to eat, what to wear and in the end I started to lose myself. It hurt when it ended, how does one pick up their lives when that's all you 've ever wanted? Well, I believe a phenomenal woman is one who can pick battles and upon losing- holds her head up high and is not defeated. I cried for a whole week and lost 10kg in the process, it was as if I was shedding him.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I am not shy or scared to walk away if it doesnt make sense, or isn't easy. I may not be with the perfect one currently, but it sure is just so easy and I only have dreams of him and that is truely liberating :)
hehe. Ya neh* Its true when they say some people come in your life to teach you a lesson and leave! THIS I have learnt the hard way.
