Eminyakeni eyishumi edlule, ngenkathi ngisekolishi futhi ngingenabangane (#coolkid), ukudla ngaphandle wedwa kwakuyinto evamile. Ngangithatha umagazini, ngijabulele isobho nesaladi ngokuthula, ngikhokhe isikweletu sami, bese ngihamba nganeliseke kahle.

Kepha endaweni ethile maphakathi no-20s wami, ngabona ukuthi ngangikwazisa kangakanani ukudla komphakathi. Kukhona okuthile okunamandla ngokumangalisayo ngokwabelana ngokudla okuhle, iwayini, nezinkumbulo nabangane abadala nabasha. Futhi, ngivame ukubhukhwa ngokweqile futhi sonke sidinga ukudla, ngakho-ke kungani singadonsi umsebenzi ophindwe kabili futhi sixhume phezu kwebhrantshi, isidlo sasemini, noma isidlo sakusihlwa?

Uthe okuhlangenwe nakho okwabiwe, nokho, kungenzeka kungabi nomusa kangako okhalweni lwakho: Ucwaningo olushicilelwe kujenali I-PLOS eyodwa ibika ukuthi sivame ukuthonywa kakhulu kunalokho ebesingakulindela kozakwethu. Ukuhumusha: Uma umlingani wami oqeqesha umncintiswano we-marathon eyalela uhlangothi lwamafries esikhundleni sesaladi, nami ngingenza okufanayo.

"Uma udla wedwa ngaphandle, kumayelana nawe. Uma udla ngaphandle nomndeni noma nabangane, izinketho zakho zivame ukulingisa labo abaseduze kwakho.

Ukukhahlela izinto ngendlela engenabuhlungu, ngihlele uku-oda ukudla kwakusihlwa ngedwa endaweni yokucima ukoma ngemuva kwhora lokujabula nabangane. Icebo lami bekuwukujabulela ingilazi nengxoxo, bese ngigona abangane bami, ngihlale phansi ngi-ode ukungena. Kulula ngokwanele, akunjalo?

Ngacabanga kanjalo kwaze kwafika isikhathi sokuba abangane bami bahambe. Ngihlale phansi, ngaqalaza ngabona ukuthi elinye itafula lalinabantu abambalwa ngosuku noma iqembu labangane ababamba ibhodlela (noma amabili) le-rosé.

Ngaleso sikhathi, ngaba nokuzinyeza kakhulu. Futhi okumangazayo kulo wesifazane ongashadile ozithembayo, nami ngakhathazeka kancane. Kungenzeka ukuthi iseva, ibona ukuthi sengikulungele ukuxazulula manje njengoba abangani bami sebephumile, izamile ukungilethela isheke lami. Kepha okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi bekungukuthi ngizizwe ngathi ngilahliwe, nginesizungu, futhi ngibe sematheni njengowukuphela kwendawo yokudlela eyedwa esungulweni.

Kodwa kungani? Angingedwa ngokuba khona, kulungile, yedwa. Ngokusho kwe-United States Census, inani lemikhaya yomuntu oyedwa liyenyuka kakhulu. Phakathi kuka-1970 no-2012, inani labantu abangashadile abahlala bodwa likhule lisuka kumaphesenti angu-17 laya kumaphesenti angu-27 ayo yonke imizi.

Ukuzingelwa kwamakhadi esikweletu, ngicabange ukuthi yimina kanjani engifake lesi silingo kumhleli wami. Ngacabanga indlela engangizizwa ngayo amandla lapho ngithenga indlu yami ngedwa. Ngicabange ukuthi ngikhululeke kanjani ngesikhathi ngigqoka ibhulukwe lami elinesiginesha elimbozwe nge-sequin ngemva kwesigaba sami sembali yodonga yangemva kokuphuka ebusika obudlule.

Ngidonse umoya, ngafaka ikhadi lami lesikweletu kahle esikhwameni sami ngabe sengiyalela okukhethekile kosuku. Lapho i-salmon elwandle emangalisayo ifika etafuleni lami elivulekile, angizange ngizisole.
