A Little More About Me

This is me. My name is Malaikah (ten bucks if you can pronounce it properly). I am proudly South African and I am a teenager. I am part of a family of 11 (this includes stepsisters and stepbrothers, mums, and brother-in-laws and little ones on the way.. yeesh, that's a lot of birthdays to remember).

I like to think I'm quite creative, in fact I think the creative arts are one of my biggest passions. I'm always making something, drawing something, painting something or everything in-between. I absolutely love colours and shapes and the way you can recycle quite literally everything around you.

My eyesight is quite horrendous, I can't see anything within a two feet radius, and I'm not even exaggerating... Okay maybe I am, but it's still terrible! I started wearing them from the young age of 7 and oddly enough no one made fun of me for it (besides my sister of course #FroggyFourEyes).

I am homeschooled and because of this a lot of people call me lazy, when really I just have too much work to come out the house (I still make time to blog though so yayy!). I was never always homeschooled, I went to regular school up until Grade 5 and I'm thankful I did because that's where I met my best friend, Umarah.

Left: Me, Right: Umarah

Umarah and I have been best friends for over five years and she can be described somewhat as a support structure, without her I WILL fall. I got the idea to start a blog from her as she has her own.

Yes, I did have a photoshoot in my backyard for this post...

I think that about covers the most important details... If you need to know anything else you can send me an email at tobefreespirited@gmail.com :)

P.S. You have no idea how long this took me. About twenty minutes down the line I was going to give up and accept I didn't know who I am #sendhelp.
