Winter ABC Day 3: Three Things I Would Do for Free

Love for Free

Woohoo! It's day three of the winter blogging challenge. After sharing my dream life, I just wanted to lay down on my pillow and dream some more.

'Money can't buy happiness', some say. Comedian Dave Chapelle shared with Oprah that money can afford you choices. We all love choices! But there's a saying that goes, 'the best things in life are for free'. We could go into a long, never ending discussion about that quote.

What if we didn't get paid for anything? If we used a different currency to get by. Looking at my rate card, clearly there's nothing that I do for free. Even from my passions and talent, I need my bread.

Today's topic within itself questions the writer about what I would do for free.

1. Sleep

My bed and I have the best relationship in the world. I really don't need a start button for sleeping. I would definitely sleep for free. It's great for my mind , body and soul.

2. Vacation

Think Vilanculos, or Bali, or St. Lucia. Or maybe Greece or Turkey. Imagine taking a holiday to an exotic destination. I love the sea and beach. Just give me a plane ticket and accommodation reservations and I'm good to go. So yes, if I wasn't paid for it, I would still so go on vacation.

3. Read

I love reading more than writing. I write a lot though! "There is no friend as loyal as a book,” Enerst Hemingway. There's so much to be discovered in books. Epiphany comes when you read in between the lines. Authors have a way of allowing the reader to scrutinize different subjects. If you are into self help books, you cut out expenses on seeing a therapist. I don't need to get paid to read books.

Truly the best things in life are for free. It's all up to you what you consider the best. Sleep, going on holiday and reading books are everything to me. They are my top three self-care must-haves.

It's love for free!

P.S. Always write your own love story!

Ciao!

Inspired By A Thread

Colour blind is ignorance when all you see is red... ...learn your colours! Oi, you lovely lot! Whaddup, 'ow's it goin'? I’m gettin’ there, innit? Just takin’ me time, you know how it is. A while ago, I scrolled down my timeline, and I came across an interesting thread on X. Actually the responses were wild, but it had me thinking, I would love my readers to share their own experiences. The question was as follows; What was the craziest thing that you've done to investigate a man? Fam, the responses in this thread are worthy of scripts. Don't play with a woman who wants the truth. She has better investigative skills than any intelligence agency. This led me - actually inspired me to share my own personal experiences. My life is so ironical. I like keeping my relationships on the low because my ego can't handle the humiliation if things don't work out. However, drama seems to ensue whenever I decide to allow a male into my space. Of late, I realised that I ...

Single ladies: Wife material

MPV.....my point of view! Single Ladies: Wifen Material *Royal wave*Hey single ladies,your guide is back.The pursuit for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It is on.Today I would like to make you a get-a-ring-on-it lady. Now following my articles,'Single Ladies Part 3',where I talked about the prince searching for a 'real princess',or 'Queen';and 'Brown Sugar',where the word 'brown sugar' was defined as wifen material,I would like to talk about 'wifey material'.(Whether we are that). How do we single ladies get that ring-on-it,you ask?By being wifey material.My uncle keeps on telling me,'If you want to become Mrs X,you should be a wife.You are a wife before he puts a ring on it'.What he means is that,a man will treat you the way you portray yourself.How,you ask? Ever noticed the difference between a wife and a girlfriend.Now let me break it down for you.A girlfriend usually,takes life in a more leisurely way;unlike a wife,whose focus is mo...

I'm Ready

Por qué me siento así, mi amor? Lo podemos culpar a Cupido!   Bring on the tissues, and a tub of ice cream, and Amarula cream. Cupid really picked on me and not at the best time. And then 'Stupid Cupid' starts playing. Bonjour single ladies! Forgive me for the dramatic entrance, but I feel like a hopelessly enamoured teenager. Remember  le garçon du chocolat ? Oui. Well, what started off as a crush, has developed into more. Could I be in-love? Umm... But I think that the sparks have fizzled out on his end. Throwing myself on the couch.  Why am I this person, though? Am I setting myself up for possibly another heartbreak after recovering from a not so recent one? Like, le garçon du chocolat lives rent free in my mind, and mostly in my dreams. Am I supposed to feel like this actually? Gosh, I feel so embarrassed with my grown self.   So while, I'm manoeuvring through my emotions, let's talk about starting all over again with a renewed perspective. Gather around ladies,...

Happy Women's Month, with this article being posted a day after 'International Women's Day'! If there's one group that knows how to own a month, it's definitely WOMEN! Have you checked out all the records released in the past five to seven decades about femaledom? Y'all my playlist is full!  We run the world, we are superwoman, we just wanna have fun and most recently, we are 'Mambokadzi' (Shona for Queen ). It doesn't get any better than that. So what does Women's Day mean to me? With millions of women and allies across the globe celebrating this annual event, this day speaks volumes! It's more than just a day, or month, but a complete revolution dating back to the 1950s, and even centuries before. My experience with this day...
