Hello everyone. I posted a new chapter for "In My Head." Check it out if you get a chance. I titled it "Here."

Hey guys! Back at it with "In My Head." Let me know what you guys think - and...if you guys like my writing please vote! Wishing you a good day further.

Hey everyone! Started a new poetry book called "In My Head." Please check it out.

As a 17 year old female student, I am heartbroken by the things that are happening in my country, South Africa. I think it's important for the rest of the world to know what's happening. South Africa needs the support.
          
          1. Xenophobic attacks.  My heart goes out to families that have been attacked or their loved ones killed. Violence and looting is wreaking havoc in Gauteng. People have been shot and injured -the chaos still ensues. Migrant-rich areas are being targeted but the violence has since then expanded. Parents are panicked and worried about the safety of their kids. Shops have been forced to close down.  I pray that the violence and that peace will be restored to this country that seems to be falling apart. We must fight for all the victims. Our president needs to address the public  and DO something.
          
          2. Femicide. The numerous deaths over the past few weeks frighten me. And yes, they leave me wondering, "Am I next?" I see headlines "raped, butchered, murdered, battered" and I just think, "What is happening to this beautiful country?" A woman cannot even walk safely to the post office. Female students, teenagers, children, infants - women- are not safe in the streets of South Africa. We're careful not to dress "provocatively." We carry our pepper sprays. We walk in groups. Apparently, it's not enough. There are men in this country who have decided that only they have human rights. They believe that it is okay to steal a life, take an identity and dominate. When you rob someone of their God-given right to live, why should you have that right? Women lose their lives and futures while men are given a short jail sentence.
          "I realise that not all men beat, brutalise, rape or murder but it's enough men for me to be scared of all men."

Started a new book! The beginning will be slow but eventually things will heat up. Tell me what you think! https://www.wattpad.com/story/155478807

So I'm not sure if anyone knows but Yesterday South Africa went from "in a drought" to extreme flooding. The rain was heavy for a solid two hours and this resulted in lakes and dams over-flowing. In fact, fences have been torn down from my residential area and so many cars were seen floating about.
          
          I was one of the lucky few who wasn't physically affected by all the turmoil.
          Emotionally, I was a bit of a wreck.
          
          My friend's mom and sister were stuck in the water on the highway for more than four hours - as well as my gymnastics coach and so many other people. And the saddest thing of all is that a few people have drowned...I'm keeping them in my prayers.
          
          Why am I notifying you?
          
          With the American Election process going  on media hasn't really paid attention to other issues going on the world. I'm not against this as it is a HUGE affair that involves the world but I just thought that I should share a 'huge' issue that affects me greatly. :(

So it's almost November and that means: EXAMS :(  I am hoping to post one more chapter of Away before though. Thanks for 877 reads and 123 votes! It;s awesome to open up Wattpad and see that your story is slowly getting somewhere :)
          
          If you or anyone you know was affected by the recent hurricane that hit Florida and Haiti I just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you/them.
          
          Also South Africa is currently suffering from a major drought at the moment so as a message to everyone else: Appreciate what you have and don't waste it. Everyone currently has water limitations here in South Africa.
          
          Anyway, I do hope that you enjoy the rest of the week.
