I am naïve when it comes to love and friendship

I would like to believe that my reality is pink (because pink signifies femininity and happiness).

I believe in the phrase that 'life is like a book, and that when something goes wrong just turn the page' (after all, your worst enemy is only yourself. If you fear things are not changing, look in the mirror and realise that you are not changing them).


 I love dancing, apparently I am not very good at it, but I still dance because you cannot shake off a feeling when it gets to your legs. 

 I also love singing, I am not good  at that either, but hey... if you feel it in your soul release it right?  

I have loved writing since I was eight years old. My blog isn't meant to humiliate anyone, but I personally view it as my progression as a writer. I hope someday I will update it every week at least... But so much in life easily distracts me.

The comfort and pleasure I feel from just writing words is one I want to do everyday.

I write hoping to tell a story. I write in hopes that one can find comfort and advice in my words. I write because it is the only thing in this world that I chose to take and make it my own. 

I love the smell of a new book. But like writing, life has bombarded me with too much stresses that the site of a book freckles my mind. It is a hobby, along with writing; that I hope someday I will be able to enjoy everyday.

I come from a really black family. I was raised by my aunt. My mother died when I was 9 years old and well, I know my father but he never raised me.  I have two older sisters, a young brother and sister.  The latter are my fathers two golden children. Apparently I have another older sister from my fathers side, but I have never met her.  I have a lot of nieces and nephews, three nieces and two nephews. No babies of my own... yet!

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and Media Studies from the University of the Witwatersrand. I am hoping to branch out into PR and Marketing Management.

I am an ordinary girl. I love my life and I often get sad and wonder "is this why we are alive" but then an hour I laugh as I realise how amazing life is. Loving and living alone are enough to make life worth celebrating. And yes, we all realise that someday the clock will stop, and that is okay; because when it stops you will be glad to have been around.

I am Yolanda Zondo and this is who I am.

It is your mid-life crisis, not love

Today I had an amazing conversation with a very good friend of mine. He happens to be 15 years older than me, a divorcee and he has two kids. He asked me to hook him up with one of my friends or somebody that I know. My response to him was “even if I was single, I wouldn’t date you.” He said I was being very rude and that all he is looking for is love. Love? Please! I disagree.  But Wait! I am not against love.  Let me explain... I find it rather selfish for a man with so much baggage to be asking me or my friends out. What exactly will I be dealing with, with a man with two kids, an ex-wife who hates his guts and his big family? Well, let me tell you. If I choose to date this man at my age, 25, I will have to deal with his two kids who will hate me, not because I am 25 but because their mother told them to. Number two, I will have to deal with snappy comments and bitchy remarks from the ex-wife who thinks I am the reason he is not paying maintenance. And las...

How to dress for a Job Interview

Perhaps you have read many articles, and listened to the advice by your family, friends and maybe even a recruiter... But somehow you do not feel satisfied and you want that one post, that one advice that will just tell you the truth. I say, "Put comfort above everything else". Forget comments about "Being absolutely formal" or "wearing a suit, heels, a skirt, a pink shirt," or "dress as if you are going to church" advice. No! No! No! I understand the lengths one should go when looking for  job, but the one thing you shouldn't be worried about when heading in for an interview, is how you look. It is a fact that how you look does count when you go in for an interview. That is why when some people dress inappropriately, they end up not getting the job. So, rather put yourself in the interviewers shoes and ask yourself, if I were offering a job for ABC company, servicing or selling ABC products, how would I want the person I am going to i...
