Embrace your goals | Tyranny of Pink

  There are so many people out there who don’t want to see you succeed. Those are the people you need to eliminate from your life. The ones who hold you back, who discourage you, who tell you it’s too hard and it isn’t possible. It is always possible. Life has this funny way of…

When perseverance brings success!

When perseverance brings success! | Tyranny of Pink

I have been fighting what felt like a losing battle against Home Affairs for the last year! I have spent hours on the phone and thousands of Rands trying to get an error in my passport corrected. I could not understand how, through no fault of my own, this mistake could not be fixed. It…

Meet Amelia- What it's Really Like Being a Writer, Editor and Proofreader! | Tyranny of Pink

I had a little laugh as I chose the featured image for this article. A photo of a type writer – the glamorous idea of what it means to be a writer. When actually, it’s hours at your laptop drinking copious amounts of coffee often late into the night trying to meet deadlines. Nope, no…

Hi, I’m Jonelle

I write things, I make art, I like good food, wine, a whisky after a rough day and I’m always up for a new adventure. I believe we can all contribute to a better world and we should do it while living authentically. I answer to “mommy,” live in Wellington New Zealand with my family and work for Local Goverment. Welcome to my blog…

People can be so critical of tattoos. Hell, if I'm People can be so critical of tattoos. Hell, if I'm honest, even I've judged People with tattoos. How can they get "that" or "what were they thinking" because you know, human. But I tell you what, I've never felt more like myself. I love my tattoos. I love my body covered in tattoos. And yes, when I'm old, they'll be wrinkled and sunken and you know what, I don't care because it'll still be me. This collection of random ink on my body may not be your taste and that's absolutely and completely okay. You're allowed your opinion but I don't care. Because I look in the mirror and I love myself. More than when I was younger, had no grey hair, was skinny with legs for days. I never felt like me. This older, grey haired person covered in tattoos and rolls loves herself so go on, judge. Say what you like but I love me and that's enough for me.
