My Injury

I’m a bit bleak this morning. I’m not bleak because I’m on air on 94.7 Highveld Stereo, I love that.

Just putting it out there

I always think it’s important to put things out there that you want to happen or that you want to achieve in your life. It puts a bit of pressure on you that you can’t back down.
