Umxholo
Ukukhula, zazimbini izinto endandizabalaza ukuziqonda: ukuthanda umzimba wakho nokuba kulwalamano olusempilweni. Ndathi xa ndigqiba iminyaka engama-25, ndandinobunzima obungaphezulu kwama-280 eeponti kwaye ndandikwimihla emithathu kanye kanye ubomi bam bonke-enye yayo yayiyi-prom yam ephezulu ... apho ndathatha umntu omtsha. Yayingelulo olo thando ndandiluphuphile, kodwa ndandicinga ukuba lukude lee kunokufikelela kum. Ukuba andijonganga njengenkosazana ecekethekileyo, ndingayilindela njani inkwenkwezi kubomi bam bokwenyani?
De kube ngoko, ndazama ngayo yonke indlela endandicinga ngayo ukunciphisa umzimba, ndohlwaya umzimba wam ngokutya okunekhalori ephantsi kakhulu kunye nomthambo onzima.

Nokuba uphantsi kwezona meko zintle, ukuthandana kunokuba ngamava anzima. Xa uzithemba, kunokuba kubi ngakumbi. Ndaye ndagula kukufumana imiyalezo evela kubafana abahle, abanomdla abathanda intloko yam badubula kodwa baya kuba sisiporho emva kokuba ndibathumele ifoto epheleleyo.
