Nomsa the blogger

Nomsa
Funny enough writing about me is never an easy task. I guess one’s life is diluted by others along the journey of life. In attempting to write down about my life, I always find it so utterly boring to read about. OH my word, I was born, had my school years, then the marriage and children came along. Then came along the moment of looking back as to if I am happy. Yes maybe that’s how I look at my writing about myself. More like seeking for self-pity or something to that effect. Yet when friends talk about me they remind me of a Nomsa I totally forget exist.
First of all I am a child of the soil; born and raised in the blazing sun of Africa, to be exact I am South African. I was born during a time when South African Youth of that day, decided to say enough is enough. So I regard myself as a child of great importance. I also believe that because I was born during this period, I am somehow interested in the affairs or our country. I may not be an active politician, but I take interest in what is going on.
I am also a proud mother of two sons and a wife to a wonderful man. For once I shall not dwell much on my family life, as they make talking about myself an easy task.
I’m a soft loving person, and at times I’m in conflict with this soft caring person. It seems like such people are coming into extension, however I am that kind of person who scarifies the last piece of bread to a stranger. At times I confuse my gentle character with being lazy, and I’m still on a quest to fight for what I want. To go out there and prove what I’m worth. Well I know how that one needs to be a go getter, but I always fear rejection of what might become. I fear that I’m not good enough, there’s obviously someone better than myself chasing for the same goal. So that’s My big challenge right now, as I’ve already fell in comfortably in the motherhood and wifehood roles, not I need to find feel comfortable in going out there. It’s a decision I took, no one forced me, and so I owe it to myself.
I have also found a new love, which is blogging, there’s still so much to learn about blogging, but I’ll keep on writing until, I find my niche. Blogging is a new phenomenon to me, and it just helps me squeeze my creative juices, which are still sour. I know with time, sweet juices are to come out.
I have come to a point in my life where I appreciate life and acknowledge the challenges at hand. I love looking at myself in the mirror and appreciate the woman I have become. All I need is to go out there and be the free spirited person that I am, and learn as much as I can. Life is not to be taken seriously, it’s about having fun, while learning. It’s a journey to be enjoyed, with all the stops we make along the way.
That’s me; I hope I didn’t go all emotional on all you lovely people.
Peace out…
