Birthday weekend in Durbs


My birthday weekend actually didn't really pan out the way I had planned it to be. Busy as always, a part of me dragged the entire trip of having to be in Durban by myself lonely self. But I kept telling myself the entire morning 'not to feel this heartbreak' And guess what? I had a pretty relaxed time Ethekwini once again. Booked into a hotel in North Beach, I spent the five days willingly laying inside the white sheets of my hotel room bed and ordering room service for all the meals of the day. This was totally unexpected, I kid you not. I went out to a few unusual Pubs around the north beach area, walking distance from Blue Suites Hotel.  I got to meet new friends, eat the 'famous' mutton curry bunny chow and enjoyed a night out at the infamous Cubanna in Florida.

 On my way back home I was happy to see the only girl that could ever, try, turn a guy like me straight (in South Africa) - miss Boity Thulo. As we were walking out of the aircraft and walking into the doors of Lanseria Airport. I felt emped up with love and confidence from being around my own space and genuinely feeling happy about that. Having nobody there to join me on my birthday dinner now felt really positive. 

As a twenty seven year old recoving drug addict, I sometimes feel pressure to sustain a concrete identity of who I really am to people in society. I call it living a suffering lavish lifestyle and ultimately, I'm all about my happiness and having a good time right now in my life. Walking my journey is what's most important. Ya'll should always know how much I pride myself about my culture and my ethnic group.

Ngilindebele mina. I am destined for greatness, ekhaya akuhlala!
