twenteaSumthing???

TwenteaSumthing is the phase in one's life that I feel is not discussed enough. People always go on and on about the "teenage phase", "life after forty", "menopause" or the famous "mid-life crisis". But never about the phase of TwenteaSumthing. 

This blog is mainly for us in our twenties and the harsh times we are experiencing in the twenteaSumthing phase. I mean life has so drastically changed, with America having a black Kenyan president, global warming, the Zimbabwe crisis, global recession and loads more.

We are simply trying to grow the fuck up and find ourselves, jobs and partners or at least some form of stability. And then, as women, I cant speak on behalf of the opp sex as I have humps in places they don't and emotions that they cudnt begin2understand, but as I was saying, as women in the twenteaSumthing phase, we find that our emotions become more uncontrollable, esp during pms. We begin to put on weight a lot quicker than we can lose it (in my case., I get chicken wings on my back, love handles and flabby arms...I wont even mention the tummy situation). 

There is just SOOOO much happening and I have found a place ideal for me to VENT, most importantly and share my experiences with all females in the twenteaSumthing phase.... right here on this blog. I would like to share a bit of info with you before we go any further, just so you get a clear idea of who I am.

• I am female, not sure whether to call myself a girl or a woman yet.
• I graduated last year, in South Africa at an Australian University.
• The best way to describe myself is random.
• I got a job at a company in Johannesburg and I work with my sister.
• I have a boyfriend that I am madly in love with (you will find out more abt him)
• I come from a big family.
• I am going thru so much shit in the form of uncertainty in my life, (the main discussion in this blog).
• I am half Zambian, half Zimbabwean, lived in Botswana, Zimbabwe, London and I now live in South Africa.
• I do NOT have children, and do not plan to have any for 5 more years, neither does my Boyfriend.
• I have R 3.00 in my account, which couldnt buy more than a sweet. I have not yet received my salary as I have been working at the company for 3 weeks. I live in a bachelor apartment with my sister (we share a bed). Our older sister has been supporting us. Which has been lovely, but it really sucks when you feel like a liability.
• We don't have a car, we use my uncle's wreck of a car.
• I live everyday as it comes. I am on probation at work for the next three months so that means a super-basic salary.
  
• A random bystander could look at me and think life is all good, which is far from true right now, but like my sister says, fake it till you make it!

So thats a snapshot of my life. Hustle, hustle, hustle. TwenteaFRIKKINSumthing!!!
