Who is Brandon van Blerk
So who am I? well first off you will be happy to know that I am a human being, that’s the first and possibly the most important box ticked. I’ve defined myself as scientific, yet spiritual, geeky, yet sporty, introspective, yet extroverted and trusting yet discerning. Quite a mouthful I know and it’s not really saying much is it?
In my life I have had the privilege of experiencing and surviving challenges that not many have experienced at my age. Starting and losing a business, falling in love and going through divorce, abuse, bullying, multiple religious indoctrination attempts across multiple religious sects, immigration and an incredibly colourful family all form part of my life’s tapestry.
What I know makes me different is not the experiences I have gone through but how I have chosen to question and assimilate with them. My ability to separate myself and make sense of the trials and tribulations are what make me unique. I have an unwavering ability to love and forgive and it is this that’s carried me through.
I look forward to sharing my thoughts, feelings and constant questioning with you.
Brandon
