Beauty is not made it's Discovered
I've eaten a R400 burger
I've starved for days
I've been chauffeured in a Porsche
I've walked in the blazing sun for hours
I've stayed in 5 star hotels
I've slept in a mattress less tent in the middle of nowhere
I've bought R2000 Diesel jeans
I've bought R90 jeans from Mr Price
I've been paid R20 000 for smashing a guitar in a TV commercial
I've been paid nothing for shooting for 12 hours for a music video dedicated to Herman Pretorious
I've smoked the best chronic money can buy
I've smoked stompies from an ashtray
I've had R1000 highlights from SCAR Hair
I've done the box dye do it yourself
I've gone to fancy clubs and drank Patron & Dom Perignon
I've jammed in Buffelsgat and drank Black Label
I've worn expensive dresses been styled and primped and poked by make up artists, designers
I've scrounged in skinny jeans and band T's with dirty hair and no make up on
I've worn imported Italian heels
But I really just prefer being barefoot.
Looking back at it all now, I know where the true value in these experiences lie.
Everyone has to start somewhere, and it's usually somewhere small and at the bottom. So be humble, and don't forget where you've come from.
