      Preface

      I dedicate the book to both genders. It does not have an age limit. The book aims to inspire, motivate you and change your perspective most positively. This book is dedicated to those who have experienced bullying, sexual harassment, losing themselves, and experiencing obstacles that seemed impossible to bounce back from.

      My wish is for the book to speak to you, motivate you, and build your confidence and self-esteem. I hope it makes you realise that you aren’t alone and can defeat every obstacle life throws at you.

      After reading the book, I hope you have learnt a lot and you are confident. Remember that you do not need society’s approval. Learn to love and appreciate yourself. You are responsible for your happiness. Believe in yourself, and work towards creating your dream into reality. Build a strong backbone. Learn to walk away from toxic environments and friendships.

      Take back your power, and find new hobbies. Practice makes perfect. Live, learn and love. Do not spend time stressing about things out of your control. Learn to love your skin and be comfortable in your own skin. Never let someone dictate your happiness.

      The book aims to build and develop a positive you. The aim is to teach you about life and give you life lessons. I hope the book is relatable.

      Thank you so much.

      I hope you enjoy the book.

      Kind regards,

      Katlego Moeng

The hilarious part was that I started speaking broken English to everyone, everywhere, and all the time.
