Extra! Extra! The Extra Hour Blog is here!

Welcome to MY Spare Imaginary Hour

A space to be genuine, to explore, to dare to dream, to be loud & proud and where 'Extra' is the norm.

San'bonani, Hi everyone!

My name is Samu, short for Samukelisiwe Mkhize. I am a young adult living in South Africa. I am a writer, a social media manager, and a k-drama enthusiast hehe. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ, sushi, and singing with my family.

"Unlike a coin, there are more than 2 sides to me" - Samu the poet

Here's My WHY...

It's my dream to create a community of daydreamers, peace seekers, and those who do not limit their dreams to their current circumstances, but find a way to sneak in an hour or two every now and then to explore whatever makes them feel alive.

Look forward to 'EXTRA-ness'

• Blog posts, Short stories, Poetry, Quotes, Memes, Shout outs and so much more.

This YEAR, Throw away the BOX and put off your LIMITING thoughts... LET ME SURPISE YOU ;)

I've made some pretty big declaration since the start of 2022.

From declaring on LinkedIn that I will 'Bet everything on my self' to my twitter writing 'I will finally have my own blog', all these declarations, were to motivate myself, to stop procrastinating, because there is no growth in the comfort zone.

So while I battle my own limiting thoughts, I took the plunge and it feels so so good to be here.

A final note to Self...

So you've read everything above and you're still confused, asking yourself, what is this blog really about?

Well some paths are best walked, not told. I will not be explaining a lot because as an adult in the rat race, I explain plenty in my life. I explain when I clocked in, how my work is progressing, I explain where I'm at, I explain when I'm giving a lesson in church, I explain to my mom where I'm going and when i will come back...yes at my big age...and on and on and on

This blog is my extra imaginary 'hour' my space to rest from explanations and just BE. If you too need a break and can spare some time, please do join this adventure of leisure and fun and sometimes we'll laugh, sometimes we'll cry, but we will always be authentic and truthful to ourselves.

• If you had just one extra hour in your day, what would you do? Feel free to leave a comment under every post and Instagram and share the goodness :)

Valorously, Samu
