Umbuzo: Kutheni kubalulekile nje kuwe ukuba abasetyhini batsala i-lever ngoMhla woNyulo?

A: Onke amazwi abalulekile. Umama wandifundisa oko. Ndikhumbula ndineminyaka eli-18 ubudala kwaye ndibhalisela ukuvota. Ibiyinto enkulu endlini yam. Ukuvota kwakuthetha ukuba yinxalenye yehlabathi elandingqongileyo, ukuba ndimdala. Nge-4 ka-Novemba, ndithatha umntu ophakamileyo kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo ohlala kwibhloko yam ukuvota okokuqala-ngemvume kamama wakhe, ewe.

Sasihlala singabikho kwigumbi. Kufuneka siyikhumbule loo nto. Abasetyhini babengenalo ilungelo lokuvota de kube li-1920. Andikuboni ukuvota njengelungelo. Luxanduva.

Umbuzo: Kufuneka ube ngumthambo onzima wokuxinana kwishedyuli-uhlala njani ulungile?

A: Uninzi lweyoga. Iphantse ibe yinto yokomoya kwaye ibonisa indlela endiphila ngayo ubomi bam ngoku. Ngaphambili, bendinexhala kakhulu kwaye ndingakwazi ukuyithulisa ingqondo yam. Ukuzilolonga kwam bekunzima kwaye kukhawulezisa i-cardio! Ngoku, ndiyazivumela ukuba ndithobe isantya kwaye ndithule. Andivuki ndifuna ukuya ejimini, nangona kunjalo.

Kuya kufuneka ndisebenze ngoba kubonakala ngathi yonke into iyawa xa ndingenayo. Ukuba andiziva ndifuna ukuya ejimini ndihamba intaba nonyana wam kunye nezinja-kukuzilolonga oko. Imalunga nokungaguquguquki. Ukuthatha isigqibo sokwenza into ethile kathathu ngeveki kwaye unamathele kuyo. Yile ndlela ufumana ngayo iziphumo.

Singazinika imvume yokufaka imibala kwizinwele zethu okanye ukufumana iBotox. Kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, abasetyhini abazange babelane ngeemfihlo zobuhle. Kodwa masingagcini iimfihlo.

Ndinxibe i-brunette wig kunye neempahla ezintle ezivela kwii-1920s. Ndiphinde ndasungula iTitle IX inkampani yokuvelisa kunye neqabane.
