I started out life in Johannesburg as a tiny little butter, I was completely oblivious to the fact that South Africa was undergoing major changes and apartheid was being unraveled as I floated though my early days. Apparently I was a rather naughty, strong willed little creature who learned to swear very early on, nothing much has changed.
By the time I started school we had gone through our first democratic election, I was part of the first generation to go through all of my education without segregation so our countries change had little impact on me until I could really understand the weight of it all, it was normal as far as my life was concerned. Anyway, I hated school, Primary School passed quickly, I went though some terrible hair choices, the worst of which I have excluded out of shame and horror (Think sandy blond bowl..)
Then came high school. God bless my mother and her patience, nothing could have ever prepared her for the emotional pubescent spawn of Satan that was the teenage me. I raged through the first three years and finally settled down when I decided to change to the art school and focus my efforts on something creative rather than just being a pain in the ass, rebel without a cause.
Post High School I went in search of 'meaning' and took a gap year, I traveled to America (which I fell desperately in love with), Europe and Dubai, worked in a bar, partied hard, realized I was more than capable of being alone and returned to South Africa to be a functional member of society.
So after my year of freedom I enrolled at University to study Fine Arts and also met my beautiful soul mate. I could never comprehend at the time quite the effect this man would have on my life. Even a year after his passing his kindness is still changing my life in ways that I will be eternally grateful for.
My hair seems to have gone through every length and colour combination and surprisingly not fallen out. From 2008 - now it's been; short blonde, short dark, long dark, long red, short red, shaved pink, short blonde again and noooow almost long blonde 
And we arrive at today. I have tried and ruled out one career, my life is entirely different from any of my wildest dreams. I love and appreciate my friends and family more than anything and I am still entirely lost but not scared. I can only wonder what the future is going to hold but here's hoping some better hair choices!
But first im hopefully coming up to Jozi at the end of the month... Will let you know. Think i best come get some Lunar Ink done... i'm thinking something Dr.Seuss-ish.. Maybe just the hat with one of my favourite quotes... anyway let me know if you would be keen to do something like that?
Cool bananas in pyjamas! Keep safe and keep smiling
