“Okay, to be honest, I haven’t actually experienced a lot of love. I suppose love for me is in our surroundings. I find love in everyday life, I guess.
Yeah, I suppose love for me is, it’s been a bit kind of tragic. It’s probably not the story that you want to hear. I think I’ve had, yeah I’ve had a few relationships, but it depends what you, what you define, what you mean by love. To me, love is life.
I’m a person that puts my – I wear my heart on my sleeve basically, and I suppose the relationships I’ve been in, I’ve been trying to correct or trying to improve those who have been attracted to me, I suppose, and obviously those guys haven’t really been beneficial to myself, but I’ve always tried to find the best in people I suppose, and tried to improve the lifestyles, and in way it’s been eventful, sorry to say. I haven’t really experienced love in its true form, as it should be. I have been, yeah I’ve been physically abused, emotionally abused, and I’m sorry to say that I’m still searching for the love that I think everyone is looking for.
Yeah, sure I suppose to me love is I think, understanding and compassion. Okay, so I’m looking for someone I suppose who is understanding and accepting of who I am as a person. Someone that shares in some of my interests. Someone that is there for me as I am there for them. To me it’s teamwork, it’s a partnership, and if you don’t have that, then I don’t think there’s a reason to be in a relationship if you’re unhappy with, with your current situation. So, yeah I’m looking for something that’s going to improve my life, and not make it worse.
I was born in Pretoria, in South Africa. My upbringing was quite sheltered. My mum was quite protective of me growing up, and I suppose through that isolation I learned a lot about the value and principles of life. Psychology has been quite a fascinating subject for me growing up. I’ve learned a lot about philosophy. I suppose my parents were divorced when I was a young girl, and in terms of love, you sort of, you learn what love is and what it isn’t. So I suppose I value respect for each other.”
