A Differnt Ignition by Nomzamo Shezi


I did not know that being around you all would bring me so much joy. I was so consumed by my pain, holding onto every heavy feeling, that I forgot what light could feel like. But being reunited with you felt like the sun finding its way back to me, a glimpse of hope, a quiet source of life. I thought I needed the mountains to calm the storms within me, but maybe all I needed was a different scenery one where laughter surrounded me and love existed without effort. Somehow, in your presence, the weariness in me faded away. For the first time in a long while, I felt lighter, alive again.
