PAIN ISN’T THE WORST THING
Baone Peace Moalosi is a 20 year old, Mochudi born writer/poet and author of Pain Isn’t The Worst Thing.
She is currently pursuing her bachelor’s degree in Finance and Banking at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. Life is her biggest inspiration, hence she managed to write a 400 page novel about it. She laughs and makes mention of the fact that is where she is, is her creative peak. “But as a writer, I understand that my words will not last, no matter how wise they may seem, because time will dust them away. But if by grace I am able to inspire one other soul to continue living and take the risk of love, then I will have written something that will forever endure, because it will be written on the heart of another human being,” she said.
“Pain Isn’t The Worst Thing is a riveting tale by yours truly. I take you into the mind of a teenager. I intricately detail the cost of love and the price of living. It is a brutal story of taboos; mental health & depression and suicide… And a world filled with a roller coaster of emotions. Grief is the price we pay for loving. Laura and her brother know this all too well. They had it all, the perfect family, supportive and loving – that is until their father passed away and all hell broke loose. Every truth Laura had known turns into a lie as she comes face to face with an old enemy. An enemy new to her but known in every corner of the world,” Baone explains.
She mentions that she never knew she would be an author or even a writer for that matter. “I have always loved science(particularly astronomy), even though I am not doing anything related to it now. I started writing when I was sixteen after my father’s demise, but I only took it seriously when I was nineteen. And that is when I started writing this very first novel and somehow managed to get it published,” she said.
A passionate and driven young lady who has big dreams and sees herself directing the best movies and tv shows the world has ever seen. “I am just getting started, so brace yourself good humans.” She depends on writing to face this life thing. It takes little effort for her to write, but it takes everything inside of her to try and quit writing. “I am a slave to it,” Baone claims.
Writing her book taught her that pain isn’t the worst thing, she laughs. Writing this book taught her that sometimes we break for the pieces to learn independence. And that we do not heal from time, but from acceptance.
