    One thing I love about your vlogs and the space or spaces you are currently in is authentic...you aren't trying to rush your life just to fit into the norm of being a "celebrity"
    You are are human and sharing your honest and truthful journey of being just being a person....

    I'm so proud of you Lerato. Even at your worst you still remained consistent, pouring yourself out even when you felt like your glass was about to dry still you poured and poured some more. You're a true G. Going into 2025 know that you owe us nothing but we owe you everything. God bless and expand and favor you. We love you, keeping shining like the star that you are, a city on a hill that can not be hidden. ❤🎉

    Same same Lee, I let my mom go alone to a Christmas gathering and my mom and big sis were being to negative(i some how overheard their convo over the phone coz my mom told her), and like i really wanted to be alone even now on new years eve I'm in my room watching your vlog😅, and im okay. When i heard the things that were said about me i cried and VNd a friend and she said "vuyiswa please get to a point where you learn to be okay with being misunderstood especially that's all they do." That gave me comfort because I'm tired of being and doing all that THEY want and end up being unhappy because its not what i wanted. I'm happy to see i was not alone feeling like that and i wasnt being "snax"

      Nothing wrong with that. This is the new norm. I for one live at home so the festive season is the only time I get yo be away and alone when wveeuonw else is coming from all over to spend the holidays at home. I save up the whole year and book myself a nice staycation away in a serene place. Been doing it for two years now, never been happier!

    It is also okay to want to spend time alone during this time. This is the second year I have done this and I am happier. I feel like ever since I lost my mom I don't go home because I just can't but I do see my family whenever I can. They have tried to talk to me about this but even if I was to explain it to them (or anyone) they wouldn't understand but it is the best thing I have done for myself.

    For long! Remember we can start our own traditions! We really don't need to be there if it drains us instead of making us happy.
