Are you happy?

Not necessarily happy, but I'm coping.

What makes you happy?

I've never been asked this question. What makes me happy? I done't know what makes me happy. Not chocolate, I don't like chocolate. Food makes me happy, having my space, being alone.

The roughest time of the year 2017 for you?

Having a fight with my dads family. That really like, messed up my year.

Are you in a relationship?

Yes I am in a relationship.

What makes your current relationship different from your previous one?

Hes different(that's corny), He treats me so nice, he spoils me rotten(that doesn't sound healthy), he calls, I never used to get calls from my previous relationship, never, I never. He texts first,oh my gosh, he texts first, I said the spoiling part. He's adventureous, he listens and he genuinely cares about me. Why are these questions so deep?

Describe your relationship with your mom now compared to when you were 10?

Now, my mom is my best friend, we can talk about anything. When I was ten I never used to see her a lot, she was married. She would come visit for a while then leave again. The husband passed away and she came back home

Describe your relationship with yourself now, compared to your relationship with yourself when you were 15?

When I was 15 i was very insecure about how I looked, lacked confidence, to be honest hated myself. I used to be made fun of, in High School and in Primary. Now I have self-esteem, the confidence is boosted.I love myself, I even cut my hair.

Has there ever been a point in your life where you might have loved someone else more than you loved your self

Yes, my ex, I would've done anything for that person.

Your favorite memory?

When I met my dad for the first time time in 2011.

If I were taller I'd....

Be a model, reach places I couldn't reach before. (Yes banyise gal)

Favorite place to visit and why?

Tjakastad.

It is a peaceful place, fresh air, you're able to get away from it all and because my family is there (the ones I grew up with).

Typical Saturday?

Wake up, eat, bath, watch TV or movies or nap.

You like Jhene Aiko's music because?

She's raw, her lyrics are real and I relate to her music a lot.

You'd go to extreme lenghts to...

Protect my family.

Everything makes sense when...

I'm alone, listening to music.
