Get to know me!

A little about me

Hi, I have started this BLOG because I feel that I am very opinionated and most of the time my thoughts go to waste. My passion for crossing over my opinions, thoughts and knowledge is in almost every case comprehended as hostile and irrational. People do not understand that we are all human and are all prone to being biased but a little empathy here and there will not hurt, and so will understanding the difference between subjectivity and objectivity. I am an experienced public speaker and debater, and have some knowledge on how the masses are to be addressed. I hail from Tikwana, a township in the Free State headed by a town called Hoopstad, the richest maize producing district in South  Africa. 

I went to Bloemhof Primary School (it was still multiracial then). Like every other premature kid I was an all rounder, I was the class monitor since having graced the school, I was one of their best athletes and not only that but I was an academic too (I have my trophies, medals and cetificates to back this up), I even became a prefect in my final primary year. Due to bullying I quit the white lifestyle and opted for a public high school, this was for a new scenery and peace of mind (I dealt with a lot of). I also needed to darken my thinking, I just had to understand what my people were going through.

Upon my arrival, I became class monitor and at the very same age was part of the RCL and led many revolutionary movements (I was the 'coconut' and knew what I deserved). Fast forward to grade 9 I was forced to join the debate team because my English marks were good. I do not think it was only because of the marks, sense is provided through a choice of words and I delivered. Yes I might sound like I am blowing my own horn but hey, sometimes one just needs to acknowledge their achievements. My matric year was the best, that is where my social life developed. I started to drink and party officially because I was of age, and invested most of my time in the debate team (I hated academics so much). The debate team refreshed my soul. Expressing myself in the Queens language, moreover where speaking English was a taboo overjoyed me. I had to make it fashionable and I did where I could. 

The repressed 'whitie' in me resurrected. The production of my speech (sound, articulation, intonation and stress) westernised again, after many years of  developing a struggle accent and beating myself up for having what the hood termed as a 'snobish' accent. I passed my matric and I am now a final year student at the University of Johannesburg.  Even though everything seemed rosey and glamorous as I grew up, nothing was easy for me. I was the societal outcast and not many people liked me for what I really was; most just enjoyed the benefits of having me around. I dealt with so many insecurities and suffered from a low self esteem, I spent most of my life depressed but never showed it because I felt that it was my journey and I had to endure it. Life showed me flames from a very young age, I had to man up take it as it came. I am a male model now, the face of UJ Humanities  and a potential social media influencer and have achieved  lot for myself

When I started this blog in my first year which was two years ago, I felt like I was chasing everything and that it was not yet time. All I wanted to do was just write, but within that process I was merely chasing the wind because I had not yet discovered my writing identity and style. Even though it was all over the place I feel terrible for not being consistent with my content back then. I am now in a much better and sound state. Unfortunately I was not granted the opportunity to study what I love so this blog is an escape to my dream world. 

Currently I am an aspiring author (just anything to do with writing fascinates me), and would like to see myself on a billboard one day or even on television who knows? I hope I use this blog to inspire, enlighten and free those who are deserving. I hope it builds and restores lost hope. I hope we all benefit from the weird opinions that I share. This Blog is not restricted to anything! It is Uncesnsored.
