30-Year-old moves back home

People often pray to never return to their parents’ house after they move out and make something of themselves in the world, not because their folks are terrible people, but because it’s deemed shameful. A 30-year-old woman from Colesberg, Zandile Ndomile moved back home.

The lady from the Northern Cape was vulnerable enough to let the whole of South Africa in on her business as she shared a vlog of herself revamping her brother’s back room as her old bedroom was turned into a multipurpose dumping/storage unit:

“Shoutout to my brother for saving me from homelessness in my own home.”

Ndomile was living in the city and had a thriving business, but things went downhill. She felt like a failure when she returned home, but the more she sat with her thoughts, she realised that life is not linear:

“Just because things are not moving in a straight line doesn’t mean they aren’t moving.”

Ndomile’s positive attitude toward her current situation inspired many people, but mostly herself. She was able to transform her brother’s flat into a lovely space:

“I moved back home at 30. Starting over from scratch. I turned my brother’s backroom into my own space because privacy is peace. It’s crazy how this is where it all began a month ago after I left the city!”
