“It’s not that love doesn’t exist. Most of us have been hurt so much that we’ve stopped believing. Grateful to have someone that loves me for me. Side note: Posta girl! Makumosheka uzothola omunye bese naye uyamPosta. kusemhlabeni la. (If things end, you will find someone else and then you post him. This is reality.)”

If there is one thing about Simz that we all admire is her ability to use her voice to uplift other women. She has gone through a bit of a rough patch in her life but she is also a testament of a ying which says “It always rains before the rainbow.”

For anybody who needs to hear this, Simz has a few words of encouragement; “Baby girl, the light at the end of the tunnel does exist but it’s not gonna come to you. You need to move towards it. No one is coming to save you! SAVE YOUR DAMN SELF!!!”
