I live in Africa, to be specific Southern Africa, to be microscopic, Botswana is my origin place. The name is Thebe (Means a Shield or money, Botswana coin currency) Ramokhele (Have no idea what my surname means), Abdul (servant of God) is my middle name from my mother‘s Indian friend who they were teachers together. I grew up in a township but I later moved to the village after the passing of my mother who was providing for me at the time but I lived with my uncle who at the time I thought was my father. Raised by my grandmother I learned a lot of important staff from her but most of all compassion, empathy, discipline, respect and love though at times I feel I was immersed in too much of those aspects which I think made me very sensitive to situations where I see disrespect or a loveless situation or undisciplined people. I learned tolerance and understanding that those individuals were not raised the way I was so it’s not even their fault. I have to leave what I can’t change alone.
I am a very inquisitive being, I always have questions , I read everything I lay my hands on, I read street signs , whatever is text I read , everywhere , when am bored happy I read. I Google the crazies questions about everything and anything on the internet but I happen to burn out quickly as well. I don’t really go out much, social gatherings are just awkward for me, and I get bored and exhausted quickly. I am not very keen on small conversation and my kind of conversations are just weird to people or boring. While people want to talk about celebrities and the weather and their personal life, I want to talk about the universe, I want to know why and how and when of a lot of phenomena on planet earth or the galaxy or how it rains or how are the clouds levitating.
I studied Real Estate but know I think I should have studied Psychology or something computer related. This is because i think am more interested on how things work and the human brain will be a good start and I love the computers I am currently learning to code on Edx. Sometimes I think that’s weird, how I want to know a lot of things it’s like am preparing for a big test on How Everything Works. I am artistic, music composer, songwriter, rapper, poetry, rap writing, drawing painting, dancing just everything artsy. I know a thing or two about electronics. I honestly do not know if that from my reading or just talent or curiosity because I have been messing with electronics since I was a kid, but yeah I can fix staff, create little projects as well.
I tried going for love it didn’t go well and it really messed me up. I have my family I think that’s enough I am now trying to figure me out but I am glad it happened. I have perspectives of my life I have never seen before it really got me out of the rut and I have discovered who I am and my problems, my strong points my weaknesses, made me get in touch with a lot ,in terms of my life in general. I can boldly confirm too that what doesn’t kill you make you stronger makes you stronger I used to think that it was just a phrase people liked to use, well, it is not. It is true and it happens.
I love my country, even though most people don’t appreciate the situation here. There is peace and harmony in Botswana and a lack of any civil unrest in 51 years since independence, most people take that for granted but I don’t because I know a lot of countries in Africa and the world are in wars. Botswana is a tourist attraction and part of its economy relies on tourism the second part of the economy being the beef industry. I have not been to many parts of Botswana but I plan to, after I am done with Botswana I want to visit the world. I have a strong believe that I am a world citizen not from Botswana so I am going to see the whole of my world. I am reading a lot of self development books i hope everything will be good, life is hard but we in this beach you know we in it. All in or nothing.

hey thanks @kenistyles i am glad you enjoyed my read i l try to write more to readers like you.
hey @karinxxl thank you for the introduction and i will try to find my niche because of now i don't know what to focus on.
It is difficult to find yours. To be honest, I dont really have any. I just write about my life and people read that. But if you are totally into crypto, or writing or photography or history will make it easier to find a group.
One thing to never forget is: write good decent quality blogs and visit a lot of other peoples blog to leave meaningfull comments!
