Introduction: Aphiwe Refilwe Vezi, part 1.😊


Hey there!😁 welcome to the first part of what I hope will be an insightful journey for you!

As the title states I am Aphiwe Refilwe Vezi, an eighteen-year-old Durbanite, and I am excited to share what goes on in my head with you!😁

If you came from my video on my social media, I appreciate you for taking the time to check this out. If you randomly bumped into this and didn't see my video, the purpose of this blog is to share my experiences and insight on topics that I've given some thought about. What I will talk about varies from my hair journey and my walk as a Christian, to experiencing loss, to self esteem and learning to love yourself as you are.

In me sharing my experiences and thoughts here, keep this in mind. I'm not in any way saying that I'm perfect. Neither am I saying that I've handled the situations I will speak about in a mature manner. I've burnt bridges instead of addressing issues and people that hurt me. I've allowed people's opinions of me define how I thought of myself for a veeeeeerryyyyyy long time. What I'm sharing here is what I've learnt from not handling things in the correct manner, and also how I wish I could've done things had I been a little braver.

And so here I am. Sharing my honest truth with you. Sharing the thoughts that run through my head and I don't find easy to vocalize. I'm hoping that God will speak through me to touch you, to heal you, to open your eyes to a new perspective. And if you don't somehow relate to my story and my thoughts, I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say. Some of it is serious, some of it is a look into my weird and wacky brain, but I hope you have something to take away at the end of the day.

Welcome, and enjoy!😁

A list of things I wish I could tell my younger self.

As we grow older and wiser, we tend to reflect on the past and on our younger selves and how we used to carry ourselves. Well, I know I do. Whether it's things that used to bother me (and there were a lot, I stayed being bothered!) or things that I look back and cringe about, I have so many moments of wishing there was a time machine I could climb into and reassure my younger self that things would get better. Of course, most of these scenarios have played large and small roles in how I carry myself now and have served as life lessons, but I still think my younger self would've appreciated a heads-up. Anyway, here's my list of things I wish I could tell my younger self: (Just a heads-up: some of these will be directed at my younger self, others will be an explanation of why I felt the way that I felt) 1. Not everyone will like you, and that's perfectly okay. Growing up, especially between pre-primary and primary school, the very thought that people didn't like me...

Your strong friends need a break too.

  Being an empathetic person is not cute. It's not fun and games, its exhausting. Its extremely exhausting. As I write this, I'm honestly so so so exhausted.  And listen, this is not me asking for your sympathy or pity or anything like that, I'm giving myself the space to be open about how I honestly and truly feel for the first time in a very very long time. Empaths take on a whole lot of weight, a lot more than they should. They don't know how to say no. Uyayazi ipillar of strength? Empaths are rarely given the platform to be vulnerable, to be raw, to pour out their hearts, because everyone expects them to be the strong one. And listen, this is definitely not an attack on people who vent a lot. To be honest I don’t really blame them because when you're used to someone always being strong or someone who is always there to say "talk to me" when you're going through something, its pretty hard to imagine them being anything else but strong. But today I...
