#RED

Why do we live in the world where we have to explain ourselves. The reasons we choose RED lipstick.

Incase you wanna know why I choose RED. Ask me.

And don't assume a thing,like I am copying Taylor.

But I really wish we did not have to explain why we do things.

7 ways to live just a little

By Lindelwa Tshabalala



It is never too late to live to your fullest degree, experience and be proud! Yes, to do those fifty things you wrote down when you were fifteen to do just before you turn twenty one,you can still do it now even if you think you’ve already grown grey hair or maybe are too busy…
Take a break and try out a few of these things
o South Africa is one beautiful and diverse country – go cross culture…experience a whole new culture. Maybe for a week settle down with those people experience their daily lives.
o Begin something memorable; let your name be written on that wall around the street or that old disadvantaged building-make it relive once more!
o So what is it that you fear the most, get over it! The gene of fear is one that holds us back from living to our fullest capabilities! Climb that moment, hold that unplugged show and join that sport you’ve always liked!
o Since there is a festival or show coming up in few days, weeks- call up a bunch of your friends and hit the party…you won’t regret it!
o Be someone’ hero, teach someone your skills. Be your own hero by going for that dream you have had since forever- to go to college, start that business…yeap and that too…it is never too small!
o Give. It is less about taking but more about giving!
o Forgive and let go of that one person or thing that is holding you back. For sure it is not easy but talk to people and move on!

Mercy ReWrote my life

Its really funny how things occur in my life. Its' like it just the way they are suppose to be even though at times it seems so complicated. But within those complicated,confusing times a miracle occurs...it adds up. Ngendlela engingayiqondi and that always takes me back to saying, God. Its' Jesus Christ that kept me safe, that saw the danger and made me three minutes late. Its' Him that made me realise, not realise. I really feel like my life is on His hands. Everything is going according to His plan. And NOTHING NOTHING is this world beats that, for unyawo lami soze lashelela.

And to our souls...
Be Patient
Have faith.

We are the BLESSED ones for He above hears our prayers and answers them when we pray as Buhle Mpila puts it.

Reverse the curse to a blessing njengoba kwenza UJabesi.

Mercy ReWrote our lives....

Losing yourself
Pride
Self-knowing
Death and disappointments
You are scared huh?
You can lose yourself too
Do so too
When teaching this subject
Forget who you are
Sure thing you are a strong woman and real man
But your still posture is killing our vibe

The only way to do something perfectly
Is to lose yourself
You might fail, slip of tongue, fall and break leg
Fall preggies-
But that is the only way to fully live
Forget about finding out who you are when
You in front of us mam!
That is the only way you can do it right
The only way you can be happy in the end
Is by losing yourself
When you teach
Forget about your degree status
Lose yourself so that we can fully understand
When you love- lose yourself so to love enough
When you praise Thee , lose yourself to fully glorify
When you dance-
Forget who you are
Nothing is easier than it
Nothing is harder than it
But no matter how it is
Do IT!
The consequences may be good or bad
But keeping yourself consequences are
Bad
So lose yourself….

Mercy killing

Mercy killing
Stand there
On the wall
As I put the bullets on
How many do you want?
Do you want to die once or a billion times?
It no Russian roulette but
Sympathy…
Mercy killing

Tell me how hurt you are
I’ll put on the headphone to hear none
Your broken heart goes in pace with this song
Shame you can’t hear it!
And I am there for you
I’m there in a sense that
I want you to recall
All the advises I gave you
And you saw a fool in me
Mercy killing…
Go ahead and call me
Self-centered and evil
When you were the
One who taught me the meaning
Of hurting

The line

by Lindelwa "LEE HEARTIST EGAN" Tshabalala

Theres got to be a line - no actually there is that line to never cross in life or frankly to guide you! But as human as we are , we tend to cross it once in a while.

Things you need in life :

God
Family
A relationship
Friendship

Things that are good for you

a career
a book
education
gym
concert
celebrity crush
changing a life
humanity
a heartbreak
a car
independence
a house
a shopping spree
Belief
A crazy day on your own
a dream
respect
a glass of wine
a conversation
a watch
music

Things you do not need:

drugs
judging
jelousy
proving points
expecting things/favours from humans
betrayal
pride
ignorance
hatred


Though one of the 'bad' things may bridge you to a better person, I think its just that simple , the Bible, our mothers,fathers,brothers,sisters etc had been trying to say just these.

How do you know?

Lindelwa Tshabalala

How do you know?

I mean,
When do you know
yes you've earned praises
awards
even a single one
but still you want more
you need more
how do you know
that you're an amazing artist
that your work is appreciated
yes you've earned likes,comments and tags
how do you know
yes maybe its about time
so when do you know
that you're a good teacher
that you're a nobel prize deserving scientist
because you've proved equestions,theories and
your plans are visuals
you've…
you've came out with cures
and you are pure
your prayers have saved lives
injections had given life
your bank account is of millions
my question is
when is the highest point
that time of realising it is enough
are you gonna post countless pictures to hear how much you liked?
You are as good as your first time

tell you what,
you are good
you are awesome
beautiful- creative
you are excellent

I don't mean stop doing it
but know that you are good
your voice is angelic
and why should you know?
Because you are of God.

The Fresher’s year

The Fresher’s year Lindelwa Tshabalala




The first thing that a grade twelve thinks about when they think of varsity is freedom, right?
The freedom of coming back to your ‘house’ whenever you want to. And of course you get that!
But the varsity process starts as far, just from school, I’ll say from grade eleven. Institutions always ask for grade eleven results up to matric. Most of us get drained during these two years of hard work, confusion, impatience of finishing, pressure. That is one of the main reason all we think varsity is, freedom!
So there are a few things I’ve seen during my first year in varsity. It is indeed a place to be – but it can be the opposite. I have a few things that I think that will help any freshman at any type of institution of higher education.
Why are you there?
Education. That is the actual reason you left your home, to get education and to earn a better ,brighter future …so no matter what you do , Never forget that!
Patience and being alert.
Queues, bad attitudes and serious faces. Pass through that, just take a deep breath and be calm. Learn to be as patient and promise you’ll get what you need! Be alert by keeping yourself in touch with what is happening around the campus, have those chats, you always earn something.
Fashion and Trends
From the moment you walk in you are going to observe different, funny, out of your world fashion senses your school mates have. This could be as tricky! We end up buying things we cannot afford just to fit in. Try not to go with the style UNLESS you are SURE that you’ll afford all the trends for the next two to seven years! Of course most of us be out of uniform and want to try all , but be careful because fashion is something that runs out of time –
Money and Independency
Some of people have bursaries and some do not. You know your background. There is variety of people, pick who you’re without comparing yourself without others. If you know you can afford bread and milk than eat it- don’t buy a box of chicken that won’t last even a day! Just be independent. Learn when to ask and when not to…LOOLS!

Friends
Friends can make you gain all the above or LOSE it! You can forget why you are there, be ignorant, be fashion masters, use money foolishly- or the other way around.
So as you ‘choose’ friends make sure that their people who can make you better, and are not willing to change you for the worst . Losing who you are is as easy as keeping it! Change for nobody but yourself.
Parties and fun
Fun is not defined by likker nor drugs(check the dictionary). You can be as happy without any pill inside your body. Experience new things but not what is going to jeopardize your life. At the end of the day, have the best time of your life-!
