A Short Story
Lines on his face are trenches of despair, scars turned battle hymns. Today, he’ll pretend, a hero born from necessity, not by choice.
The battle-worn armour he bears glints like a fading sun, mocking the memories of triumphs long turned to ash. Each scratch screams defiance against time and mortality, a silent anthem of a man who’s endured too much.
Eyes, sharp yet haunted, dare the world try and break him one last time. He doesn’t seek recognition, nor absolution—just survival. Today, he is a fortress, daring the heavens to strike him down.
Feeling boxed in by society’s rules? Like life handed you a dungeon map but forgot the exit key?
Between suffocating norms and cog-in-the-machine expectations, it’s enough to spark a personal rebellion.
Shake it up, map your way out, and remember: disrupt the system, not yourself—preferably with flair and zero casualties.

Remember South Africa’s Roman’s Pizza? They kicked off as Little Caesar’s way back in ’93 and were the spot for those legendary “two in one” deals.
Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, bringing all sorts of lockdown headaches, and sadly, those famous discounts got totally sliced from the menu.
Those times basically turned the whole pizza industry into a wild topping battleground. Suddenly, your classic favorites were locking horns with some seriously adventurous newcomers like fruit, aloe vera, caramelized onions, and yep, even insects. Crazy.
Despite all that madness, the game of pizzas just keeps marching on! It’s armed to the teeth with awesome DIY recipes, super versatile ingredients, and this totally insatiable appetite for innovative toppings (and, let’s be real, a whole lot of melted cheese).

Embracing Diversity: Out Of The LGBT+ Closet
I remember the awkward moment when I came out to my mom during another potential introduction to another female friend. Mustering up courage, I blurted out, “Mom, I’m gay.” Her response? “Well, that’s certainly a unique choice.” I could practically hear the crickets chirping in the background, briefly.
Growing up closeted, embracing diversity was a challenge. I felt isolated and alone, struggling to reconcile my true self with societal expectations.
Coming out was a daunting step, but finding acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community and eventually within my family was incredibly rewarding. It was a long journey, It remains a never-ending one. One slip can terminate all that LGBT freedom that was fought for.
