My dad is telling me a story about how he owned his first gun a needless say I'm listening very attentive, he keeps of trailing of and not getting to the juicy stuff and I reckon things have changed a lot through out the years from when he was a boy handling uquasha(hand made gun)to today's zigana 9mm pistol which is my favourite by far and Smith&Wesson CSX 9m pistol as you can tell I'm in love with hand guns and I so wish it can be next year already so I can work of owning one because I will be free next to explore and not have to pretend to be something I'm not and that's this little timid girl sheltered from the big bad world I get to be me and live freely without hiding behind my dad.you see my dad and brothers think of me as this sweet little girl that is scared even of a spider and can never even Hurt a fly, could they have been more wrong because I feel trapped in this place under their watchful eye and I know I can never do any thing as long I'm under this roof because I'm respectful of my dad and the spirit of my late mom but I need to break free from them and cut the cord just be me and all the planning will only happen or come into action once I'm in my own place.that's why I plan to have my own apartment and not stay at res and the plan for that in full motion because I started saving from the of twelve when realised that I was not meant for this life planned out for me. and I saw I wanted more and that was what I was going to get own my life.now I'm laying in bed thinking about how I'm going to come up with a best and loyal crew because I don't even have friends so that's going to be a challenge but I love a good challenge so that is going to be my first task getting to school next year, while training I need to be strong and fit to be a badass leader so till next year.now the holidays are in full swing everyone is home and it's just crazy in the house you see living with man it's difficult because they don't understand boundaries so everyone is in everyone's space and it's worse because all my brothers stay in the house and don't have flats outside so as you can imagine 5 single man in one house is a mess, as luck would have it my eldest brother has organised a cleaning company to come every 2 days so it's better for me I don't have to fight with anyone and today I'm going out with my dad to annual stokvel(an informal saving pool or syndicate, usually among black people,in which funds are contributed in rotation, allowing participants lump sums for holiday needs) and I love them because I feel in my element and feed of all those old gangster energy I just love it,I'm wearing my short summer dress to match with my naive personer Sandles and matching handbag I have to admit I look sweet and very innocent.i love this game of pretence its part of building a good porker face I'm so excited it's like I'm meeting the president I'm telling you it's just one final lesson before my big move so it's like an examination of some sort believe me it's exciting.he leads the way to his favourite car BMW 325i matte black I love this car and he only drives it when going to gatherings such as this and I'm always his plus one and plus all the crew owns this car model and it's such a thrill to ride one, and going to the arena to watch the spinners it's amazing I promise you. You Can just tell these people are discussing money and lots of money for that matter because the voice are hushed and the atmosphere it thick but very chilled if you get what mean but the body language you can tell these people are brother because they don't even need to use words you can tell these people trust each other the loyalty it's everything I can't wait to experience the feeling really.after the eating and discussion we head to the arena to watch them spin and when I say eating I mean only meat in different varieties so I'm so full I can bust going to the arena I'm still with my dad because I'm his trophy he gets to shine on how the princess is so clever the whole day and I'm sitting on his lap so I get front row sit to every discussion and because it's in Tsotsi Tal they think I'm totally lost but I'm yet to suprise them.I told you it's like an exam I just love it. After the festivities I'm beat I can I assure everything about these old man has to do with money and expensive alcohol so I can fully say are retired because the only danger you feel it's in their spirit wow I just love the energy around them.
