shiraz is on a distinguished road
Default who is Shiraz?

I am 37 years old and a student. I live with my fiance in South Africa, he is supporting me so that I can study further. My background is in education and media - I am a producer and video editor, also do graphic design. I am studying to enter the educational psychology field as I love to work with children and have a natural instinct as to how to help them.

I have PTSD, diagnosed a year ago, but have probably had it since I was a child. My father abused me, my mother was a collaborator... I am waiting for my memories to return - they are doing so slowly.

I enjoy being creative and tend to keep to myself a lot. My fiance is an amazing, supportive man and together we are trying to understand just how to live with PTSD, we are finding it to be very disruptive so far and don't have enough handles on how to deal with it yet.

I want to be a mother. I love caring for people and being a homemaker. I am sincere and kind and want to live a simple uncluttered life in which I learn to heal and make a difference in the lives of my man and as many children as I possible.
