Everything, everything

  Vanessa Pieters . 29 April 2021 . E veryone knows that football brings people together. It has a togetherness spirit. It's even better when your favorite football team has your favorite football player.  Former captain of the Ivory Coast national team, born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Didier Drogba didn't have it all as a kid. His parents moved around quite often. His parents both lost their job, forcing him to move to his uncle, Michael Goba, in France when he was just 5 years old. But this surely didn't stop the small boy Drogba to quit on his dream of being a international football player. He however didn't stay long with his uncle as he got home sick and had returned back to his parents. Things seemed to be okay, but his parents lost their jobs for the second time.  And so he had to move back with his uncle again.  Of course Drogba had to work his way up. His performances earned him a place in the senior squad. Drogba got a once in a lifetime opportunity, one not man

  We often times focus too much on the things that doesn't really matter. We are caught up in so much unnecessary things around us, that we tend to lose focus of that which is important. Losing focus of the now, blurring out that which needs your attention, and overlooking the beauty in it, perfect view 🚮.  Often times, we misinterpret Gods will with ours. Just because it's comfortable and alluring doesn't mean it's from God. We are too fast, thus losing focus easily. Give it a thought. Let's say you go to a restaurant, one of those fancy ones. You get there and order what you want to eat. In the meantime you order something else while waiting for the main dish. You wait patiently without disturbing the chef as you know how much work and effort it takes for it to be prepared! You actually understand the chefs work. Finally, when served, you enjoyed the dish so much you give compliments to the chef and a tip for the waiter. Wow! If only human beings were this PATIEN

Have you ever found yourself in a comfortable space, the one you want absolutely no one to disturb your peace. You've built a wall around you to protect yourself from all man kind. It gets difficult for you to trust anyone, just because of that one person who hurt you. No one deserves to be hurt, everyone's in need of love. They say that you have to get hurt for you to know better the next time you try again. But what they didn't warn us against is; how many times does one have to be hurt before getting to the other side. Life does not come with an instruction book. Love hurts they say, but that's not true! The person you fall in love with might hurt you. I don't understand how someone who claims to love you would hurt you so bad. The moment they get caught cheating, is the very moment they are sorry. Well, I have a question for you cheater, are you sorry only because you got caught or because you wish you never had this fling? Pathetic how beings can be so insensit

    I always fail at describing myself because I always change. I would tell you that I like a specific type of food, and then the next day I would totally hate it! But for someone whom I've just met I would describe myself as follows- Hi, I am Vanessa Pieters and I am 23 years of age. I do not have a boyfriend, yet☺️. I am very open minded. I am an average girl, a very simple one. I suck at telling jokes, so much so that I'm the only one laughing at my own joke. I am an introvert, and honestly as a Journalist in the making I am still working on that. I am a firm believer of our Lord Jesus Christ, I do not believe in Him because my parents told me about Him or because my pastor told me about Him, no, I believe in Him because I've experienced the goodness of the Lord, and I can testify about his goodness. I love having fun, mini get togethers, bring and braais etc.  I do have many regrets, things I did, which honestly I wish I could go back and change or undo. Every time I

              Someone great ... S ince we see each other almost every day, so many emotions are boiling up. Hiding my emotions is definitely not my strongest point, I think he knows that I still care for him, and I won't lie I still love him so much. It didn't take long for our colleagues to have noticed the tension and awkwardness between us. My bestfriend rushed into my office, slammed the door behind her and confronted me about our strange behavior. I didn't know how she would react about this as they are siblings. Everything feels strangely odd, in that moment I wished it had been a nightmare. I burst into tears and told her everything. Felt like it was happening all over again as I was talking about it. She was so disappointed in him, but more furious than disappointed. She was ready to scold him at that very moment at our work place. But I asked her not to do it, because I wanted no one else involved. Mom called. She wanted to know what he did wrong, and why he did it
