For starters, I am not a man. I am an 18 year old girl.

This is me officially introducing myself to you. I have always wanted to write this blog post. I wanted to tell you about who I am, what wakes me up in the morning (my alarm!) and many other things.

I just thought that nobody cares. In all honesty, I still think nobody cares but I will write it anyway. I have run out of time to write this because I will no longer be publishing on this blog.

Enough about that let’s talk about me.

Who am I?

I am Avuma Flatela. I’m from South Africa. I am currently doing my first year in university. I am an introvert. I’m a Capricorn. I am an INTJ. I am a rebel (this is from the Four tendencies). I can’t think of anything else people use to identify themselves.

I love writing, hence the blog. I love reading, hence the book reviews. I love psychology, hence the self-improvement stuff.

Why did I start the blog?

It was a couple of years ago, I was going through the most. I had lost my sense of self and I felt so empty. I didn’t know what to do with myself but I knew one thing. I wanted to feel better, I wanted to feel like a person again.

Fortunately, I discovered YouTube videos. I started watching videos of people who went through what I was going through. I took their advice on how they through it without medication or therapy cause those were not an option for me.

After I got better, I learnt about blogging. I didn’t know what that was and I wanted to find out. I wanted to help people who were going through what I went through get out of it. I wanted them to know that they are not alone and to help them build better habits. I also wanted to talk about what was going on in my life and things of that nature.

Why I am Quitting?

I wouldn’t say I am quitting per se, I am just moving the blog somewhere else. As a matter of fact, I already have.

This doesn’t have to be goodbye. You can follow me on Medium to keep up with the blog.

You can also subscribe to my email list to keep in touch with me and to get a free gift from me.

Before I forget, since I am introducing myself. Here’s what I look like:
