FAT

Image
I am fat and I used to feel insecure about it as most people are, that's not my reality anymore. Many people have asked me why I liked baggy clothes so much and my answer has always been that they make me feel so comfortable. I am my grandmother, Ciara's daughter and  granny had Cushing's Syndrome Symptoms - abdominal weight gain. Round up the waist but her legs were very skinny, thank God my neck isn't as chunky πŸ™‚.  I still feel uncomfortable in tight outfits and I doubt I'll ever feel confident in them but everyday I try to embrace the fact that God made me different yet so beautiful ❤️.

A warrior living with albinism

Image
This is Mr. Tumo Luka, the man who taught me what it meant to accept and love yourself. He is living with albinism but like many others, he does not let it define who he is. He is smart and very patient with people, regardless of how one treats him. He is the founder of Worth Holding Youth, which is an organization that helps raise awareness about different skin conditions like his. Albinism, also called achromasia is a group of inherited disorders characterised by little or no melanin production and is usually self-diagonasable. Although it lasts for years and can cause its victims to be vulnerable to cancer, Mr. Luka is one of the people who does not let his skin condition stand in his way as he is continuing to thrive. Today he runs a supplementary school where he with others help pupils who were not fortunate enough to perform well in their external examinations. He aspires to be a doctor someday and his commitment to education will not only get him far but he is also guaranteed to...
Talking about myself here has really boosted my confidence.  Thank you for constantly checking and commenting. Not only have i learnt that the world isn't as harsh as i thought but you guys have also helped me grow. Thank you so much and please continue to show me support and anyone else battling whatever demons they have in their closets.   Motho uka nahana u depressed kathe u itlhokela fela to socialize and put yourself out thereπŸ˜†.

Want to go out ?

Do buy me junk, don't get me chocolates, flowers trigger my asthma. Don't take me out partying, Unless you're going to watch me. I can't have spicy food, Don't you dare wear cologne. Don't stress me, don't smoke in my presence. Check the weather first before you invite me out, i should never breathe cold air. Fragrances are nice but not for me. You'll never know how much you value your breath until you can't breathe so get me an inhaler, instead of hubbly. I live with asthma but I can still be as fun!

How did i lose my teeth?

Well, it's definitely not what you may think happened πŸ˜†. I actually went to my dentist in 2011 and had them removed. They were doubles and they had a yellowish colour i just couldn't get off. They also caused my breath to stink so i woke up one morning and had my dentist remove 4 teeth at a go and now I'm more confident. I can breathe in your faces, though i shouldn't πŸ˜‚, and you wouldn't complain about the bad breath because it's no longer there. Now my smile is as beautiful as me😊.

What are freckles?

Most freckles form as a result of sun exposure and sunburns. They can appear on anyone who doesn’t protect themselves from UV rays. They show up on your face, the back of your hands, and upper body. This type tends to be most common amongst people with lighter skin tones and hair color. Mine started forming in my early teen years and although it took a while for me accept them, i finally did. "A girl without freckles is like the sky without stars." This was my favorite quote growing up until i realized it really didn't matter how the next person looked because we're all different and beautiful in our own ways.

you are worth it

This was in 2018,the year my journey to self acceptance started.  I woke up one morning feeling beautiful and i knew that if i could feel it for a moment, i can feel it for a lifetime because i am beautiful.  Here I'm going to flaunt my differences and educate them. Welcome to my blog ❤.
