Welcome to Wadzanai's diary, a brutally honest and frequently eye-rolling look at life when you're young, trying to figure things out, and maybe made a few questionable choices along the way (like thinking a married man was a good investment). Written in a voice that's equal parts spiritual seeker and 'are you serious?', this diary spills the tea on the not-so-glamorous realities of chasing dreams, navigating singleness, and suddenly finding yourself a single mom with a mortgage-sized responsibility and a single income. Wadzanai doesn't sugarcoat it; she's been there, done that, and bought the 'lessons learned' t-shirt in bulk. This isn't your typical self-help book filled with fluffy advice. Instead, through sarcastic reflections on her own missteps and triumphs, she tackles everything from spiritual growth when your life feels like a chaotic mess to the sheer grind of providing for your child alone. It's a raw, relatable, and slightly cynical reminder that relying on fleeting things – especially unreliable partners – is a fast track to disappointment. This diary is a wake-up call delivered with a side-eye, urging young women aged 16-25 to stop chasing temporary highs and start building a foundation that actually lasts. Wadzanai's journey from a girl who lost her father young and wasn't raised in a two-parent home, to a woman finding her strength through faith and sheer grit as a single mother, serves as proof that while life throws curveballs, hard work, self-development, and a solid spiritual connection are the only things that truly pay off in the long run. Consider this your not-so-gentle nudge to ditch the drama, embrace your single-girl power (even with a kid!), and realize that your own hustle is the most reliable 'greener pasture' you'll ever find.
Wadzanai is a Zimbabwean woman who, like many, chased dreams of 'greener pastures' in South Africa. Along the way, she collected a few life lessons the hard way – including the one where dating married men rarely ends in a fairytale. A God-fearing single mother navigating the choppy waters of solo parenting on a single income, Wadzanai brings a spiritual perspective and a healthy dose of sarcasm to the realities of building a life from scratch. She didn't have the perfect two-parent home growing up, lost her dad early, and frankly, has messed up enough times to qualify as an expert in what *not* to do. Now, she's sharing her messy, spiritual, and surprisingly hopeful journey to prove that real stability comes from within, not from fleeting relationships.
