"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard
If Kierkegaard is correct, then it must be equally true that by examining life backwards, one can significantly improve the life that lies ahead - forwards.
Utilising self-reflection, I have undertaken a painful observation of the common - and uncommon - experiences of my life, and extracted from those experiences lessons which I believe are of utility to all individuals and which, upon your viewing of the reflections within, I sincerely hope will be of utility to you.
I am dedicating the content within to notable historical figures of my life, including my past self.

I know not a single soul on planet earth asked for this, but hey, here I am. I think we can all unanimously agree that Life can can suck from time to time...or sometimes just all the time.

Society, Me and Life: The Truth
You have a right to feel the way you do. You have a right to keep things private or to share and speak about these experiences to others. No matter what you choose, it is your decision to make. However, do not let your fear dismiss the truth. Do not believe the lies you constantly tell yourself to ignore the pain you are feeling. Do not let the sum of someone else's trauma silence you.
Ellipsis...
It was he who helped me forget my past. It was he who acted as my medication for my depression and it was he that got me out of my misery. I hate my father for bringing this curse upon me and my mother. If it weren't for Sizwe, I would have already been gone from this planet resting in the afterlife. I tried to push Sizwe out of my life but he resisted. He didn't care about my flaws, especially the ones my father created. He has always been by my side. His ellipsis... changed everything. Thank you, Sizwe. -Lebohang Mahlangu WARNING!!! This book covers explicit content and topics such as violence, gender-based violence, suicide, and mental health issues.
