A Letter to my Family and Friends. Im Leaving the country for my new journey.

TO all my South African Family and Friends. The time has come. (I don't care if this is corny, weird or too much - because this is me) .. and I dont care if you judge my grammar and/or writing skills. As for those who really know me : I don't live with comas or full stops. Lol. Im greeting you this week with a sad and happy heart. Im leaving our beautiful country for my new journey. It is a new start and beginning for me. An opportunity of a lifetime. My journey will start in a land far far away... in a desert metropolis. The United Arab Emirates (Dubai). For some of you its overrated... maybe just a desert. And for some of you it might be the un-holy Babel. Maybe the UAE is just part of your transit visit, or another holiday destination. But for me its a place where I will find myself again. It has been a tough year for me. But even in all of the pain and the hurt, there was growth. I learned to have boundaries, I learned my self-worth was more than you'd allowed. I learned to love out loud. I learned not to wait to share my thoughts and feelings. Im done with unemotional people, heart-breakers, chance takers, jealousy, hate and with sick psychopaths. Im ready to Eat.. to Pray.. and to Love. In all caps!! I want to thank the following peope: My Family.. You are my everything. I love you so much. No words can describe how I feel leaving you behind. You've told me about life. You've showed me how to love.. and how to be the best version of myself. No one will ever set the example better than you. Dankie sal nooit goed genoeg wees nie. My Friends.. Thank you so much for being there for me, for inspiring me.. for making me laugh and cry at the same time. I will guard all our memories deep in my heart. Untill we meet again. To my Exes and haters.. Its not me, its you !! Sorry for your loss (Just joking) Not everything is suppose to become something beautiful and long lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you whats right and whats wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself or how to feel, to make you feel better for a little while , or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they've given us. If I really did you wrong..Then I do apologise. Im just human. To Everyone... Thank you so much for all your love and support. I will miss you, but I will see you one day again. To my Future Im ready to claim.... to conquer... to prosper, and to live my best life. I feel that I am in a position to become all God has intended for me to be. I am blessed. To my Future Friends and Family... Hi Im Dawie.. and I cant wait for our paths to cross.. as I know...we will have the time of your life. Hehe Thank you guys... Lots of love Dawie Ohh.. and If you want to follow my journey. A link to my Blog will be up and running soon. But you can follow me on Insta: dawiejansen11

Wanneer BLINK nie meer Blink genoeg is nie.

Toe ek ’n jong seun was, het die glassplinters wat in die teerpad vasgevang was, my gefassineer. Die oomblik wat ’n ligstraal op ’n splinter geskyn het, het dit soos ’n diamant geskitter. Ek is dan halsoorkop agter dié skynbaar kosbare juweel aan.Groot was die teleurstelling wanneer ek die plek bereik en net ’n stukkie glas daar vind, vasgevang in swart teer.Maar wanneer ek opkyk, sien ek ’n volgende klippie skitter. Ek haas weer vol verwagting daarheen, net om weer teleurgestel te word.

Só het dit dan aangehou totdat die laaste klippie voor ons huis se inrit geblink het. Dit was gewoonlik dan die moeilikste om die skattejag agter te laat en by die voordeur in te storm met: “Mamma, ek is honger!” Want van die oomblik dat ek van daardie laaste klippie af opkyk, sal ek nog tientalle meer sien blink, elkeen met meer glans as die vorige.

Terwyl ek grootgeword het, het ek egter besluit om nie agter elke klippie wat blink aan te loop nie, maar om liewer net die eerste een wat my aandag trek op te tel en in my sak te steek.

Dan sal ek hoog in my skik met my vonds aanstap en my blind hou vir al die ander se geskitter.

Soms wonder ek of ek die enigste mens is wat hierdie les geleer het.

As ek na van my vriende kyk, is hulle nog steeds aan die klippies versamel. Hulle stap nie meer in die straat en tel glassplinters op nie. Nee, hulle versamel kosbare diamante.

Party ouens stap deur die lewe se strate, hande in die sakke, met skerp naskeermiddel en die krae opgeslaan.

Wanneer ’n klippie dan in hul oë blink, knipoog hulle so stylvol (net soos hulle geoefen het voordat hulle voor die spieël weg is) en stap nader, steeds met die hande in die sakke. Want sien, ’n mens moet eers die klippie laat blink (en lus maak om opgetel te word) voordat jy jou hande uithaal om die klippie in jou sak te steek. Maar sodra die klippie in die sak is en hulle weer opkyk, blink daar ’n nuwe klippie voor in die pad. Só versamel hulle dan klippies en sodra ’n blinker een opgetel word, word die vorige een sommer so langs die pad weggegooi, want van baie vat raak klippies mos vaal...

Wanneer ek met dieselfde pad langs stap, sien ek die klippies so flou-flou flikker. Dan kry ek dié meisies so innig jammer, WANT EK soek ’n klippie wat nog blink.

If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you.

How To Get Over It

Of the hundreds of relationships you participate in throughout the course of your roller coaster life — associations of all kind: good/bad, joyful/sad, casual/serious, friendly/hostile, short/long, romantic/heartbreaking and everything in between, there’s always ONE relationship that harrows you like an old wound that refuses to heal. It haunts your mind, frequents your thoughts — maybe because you let it, maybe because you’re reluctant to fight a losing battle when your emotions are swinging like saloon doors on rusty hinges. You live, you breathe, you dream, you repeat — but such austere malady won’t go away and your heart and resolve commit to a constant tug of war, each pulling on one end of your instincts. So you might as well diagnose yourself a royal schizophrenic! Wrestling with your emotions over the dream of someone who still claims so much of your sentiment but is no longer there… well isn’t that lovely.

And so you sit and think........................

But you CAN’T think about things like this so you distract yourself!

And it actually works.

Wow, I feel better already.

Goodbye now to the breakdown between thought, emotion and behavior. Farewell to faulty perception and inapt actions and feelings. Goodbye to withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into fantasy and delusion. Good riddance to an overwhelming sense of mental fragmentation!

Life is way too short to worry about the past, and I for one, don’t have time for anxiety.

If you need me, I’ll be in my fuzzy turtleneck with a bowl of cereal staring out the kitchen window. I like the way the rain sounds against these old bay windows.

Why Must We Fall?

One of my favorite stories in the world is a short chapter taken from Austrian author Felix Salten’s incredible 1923 novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods. The story of the little deer itself is quite a bit darker and melancholy than the Disney movie, but if you find inspiration in anthropomorphic literature, I highly recommend it. The tale is pure, moral, sterling and virtuous — all things I find rare and unfamiliar among 95% of modern novels on today’s shelves.

Every year about the time the autumn leaves start falling, I dig Bambi out of my bookshelf because of a chapter concerning two introspective oak leaves entitled, Winter. It’s poignant and beautiful and I wilt and smile at the same time because Salten’s words benevolently remind me that life is fragile and even the smallest moments should be cherished dearly. I like how subjective and sobered I feel after reading the chapter. I can’t wait to read it to my son or daughter someday when he/she inquires about the subject of death (and even more excited to further explain that death isn’t the end for followers of Christ) but that’s another story.
