Mkhululi Returns: The Sun Still Rises 🌅✨
Sometimes life pulls you away from yourself.
Not because you are lost — but because you are becoming. 🌱
I haven’t posted in a while.
Not because there was nothing to say,
but because life has been happening in ways that words alone couldn’t carry. 🫶
Right now, I’m sitting in my studio apartment — beautiful view, calm dam outside, soft light touching the water. On paper, it looks like peace. A dream. A blessing. But inside? I’ve been wrestling. Trying to understand the weight of everything that’s been happening. 🪞🏙️🌊
And I realized something:
Every time I am about to level up, life gets heavy.
It shakes. It breaks. It tests. 🔥🛠️
Before I moved here — from the shacks to this new space — my life looked like it was falling apart. I got into a terrible fight. Walked away with a scar on my forehead. It felt like shame. Like a setback. Like life was trying to keep me where I was. 😔🩹
But while I was still stressing, I got the call:
“You can move in.”
A door opened in the middle of chaos. 🚪💫
Then my car broke down.
Then it broke again.
Then again.
And in the middle of fixing lives and fixing dreams, we lost a child — Musa.
May his soul rest in peaceful, gentle light. 🕊️❤️
Life shook us to the center.
And now, again, it feels familiar.
My car is broken — engine mixed with water, oil in places it shouldn’t be. Anyone who knows cars knows what that means: money, stress, and waiting. 🫥🔧💸
At the same time, I found some light.
Forex. Copy trading. A guy called Top One.
I started with $60.
Monday — the account grew.
Tuesday — I withdrew money. Bought groceries. Something I hadn’t done in a long time. I smoked a vape to celebrate. I felt life again. 🪙🥲
It gave me hope. 🌤️
Wednesday — everything crashed.
The account got blown.
Gone.
Just like that. ⚡🕳️
And I sat in silence.
Didn’t speak. Didn’t eat.
Just breathed through the weight. 🧘🏽♂️
“Life cannot always be good. We are meant to feel everything. Balance is the law of the universe.” 🌍
And he was right.
We cry. 😢
We laugh. 😂
We lose. 💔
We rise. 🦅
We break. 🪨
We rebuild. 🧱
But one thing is constant:
Time moves.
It does not stop for anyone. ⏳
So while I sit here with all the confusion, pain, disappointment, questions, frustration — I also know this:
The sun always rises again. 🌞
Life is beautiful.
Life is ugly.
Life is joy.
Life is pain.
Life is the storm and the rainbow after. 🌧️🌈
We are human.
We feel deeply.
We break sometimes.
But if we’re still breathing — it means we’re not done. 🫁🔥
Maybe everything I’m going through is preparing me.
Maybe it’s sharpening me.
Maybe it’s pushing me to the next level I asked for — but did not understand what it would cost. ⚔️📈
Because growth always costs something.
But the reward is always worth it. 🌿
So here I am.
Present.
Breathing.
Still standing. ✊🏽
Mkhululi is back.
Not the same —
but becoming. 🌱🦁
And if you are going through your own storms, remember this:
When the sun shines again — it shines brighter than before.
There is always another day to try — as long as you are still alive. ☀️
Vah Afrika proverb: “When the scar opens the door, the spirit walks through — the sun rises fiercer after the storm.” 🗣️🌄
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for being.
Thank you for feeling. 🙏🏽💛
– Mkhululi, in and out. ✨
