À propos de
Smangaliso Simelane

For a long while I pondered on this very letter you are reading. I wondered for a long while whether I should feature it anywhere at all. From its birth its existence seemed troublesome. However, here it is, exposing my indecisive and, more upsettingly, my inability to properly express my thoughts. Self-doubt aside, I must give thanks to Moses, Michelle and Sydney, my imaginary friends. If it were not for them, reality would have long drowned me in pain, failure and misery. It is due to you three that I had a big brother, an ear that always listened and a partner who tended to my every need. You made me feel like I mattered and I appreciate that. I thank my family and friends for tolerating my never-ending childishness and obsession with fantasy. I hope you realize now that lassoing me away from my dreams is impossible. Most importantly, I thank the Lord who will always be praised. May it begin.
