~ Matshona Dhliwayo
It's okay to be happy with yourself for all that you are and aren't. It's okay to accept that life will not always be a win-win. Its okay to fall and pick yourself back up. It's okay to be different and not be accepted by the crowd. Its okay to be on that journey of little beginnings. Your happiness should never be overburdened or compromised by none of your life choices. It's okay to just be happy

In a world full of game players, the only way to set yourself apart is to be a game changer.
