The effects that being an early overachiever had on me, part 1.


Hey guys!😁I know its been a hot minute since I last posted on my blog, school and life in general have been doing the absolute most but I really wanna be more consistent now that I'm on holiday✨today's post is quite different, instead of a written blog its a video, and because I had complications posting it on blogspot, it's going up on my igtv (The video has 3 parts, I'll add the links below). I really hope you enjoy this video and if it resonates with you in anyway I hope you find comfort in knowing that you aren't alone. Love and light.🌻💛

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

Image
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...

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.

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 o...

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...
