HELLO NOVEMBER BABIES!

By Ayanda Dlamini | 2020-11-01

Like other people born in other months have unique personality traits, you have got your own.

Surely you know yourself but still, reading about yourself is also an interesting thing, right? You have your own traits and are loved by many.

One by one, we have mentioned traits of November born people here. If you’re going to celebrate your birthday this month, this one’s for you.

Being creative is not at all easy. But November people are extremely creative and it all comes naturally. You know; they don’t sit and think. In their case, their mind keeps working and they keep creating things in their mind.

They work hard and they make sure that they give birth to the creative ideas.

SECRETIVE

You’ll have to dig a lot to understand the things that they’re hiding. It is not really possible to know what’s going on in their mind. They’re very secretive. It isn’t that they don’t trust people or something. But they hide things for other personal reasons. Their mysterious self makes them very special.

CONVINCING POWER

Not many are blessed with convincing powers. November born people are blessed with it and can easily convince people into doing things. Good or bad it depends, but isn’t it cool? I mean, I’ve met people who really want this superpower.

SELF-CONFIDENT

November born people are very confident. They can make others confident as well. You know; self-confident is a must thing and November people use it as a great tool.

STRAIGHT FORWARD

Yes, they are. You know; they’ll voice their opinion. Whether you like ‘em or not, November born people will make sure that they let others know what’s right and wrong. Not just that but they also stand up for others. In short, they speak their mind and heart.

EMOTIONAL

They’ll never tell you why they’re so sad but they also cannot hide their emotions. You know, they’re strong and equally soft at times.

JEALOUS

They’re jealous souls. But no, not in a harmful way.

They know how to deal with jealously and so they do.

They get jealous when their best friend hangs out with some other people. They get jealous when they see their crush sharing laughs with others. But a bit jealously doesn’t hurt ‘them in a big way because they know how to handle it.

November is my month of unwavering gratitude - Nokwanda Dlamini

“Countries that celebrate thanksgiving, celebrate it in November, and I have to say, I can relate with that practice.

I will myself, in general, to be grateful for the things, people and occurrences in my life; but in November, I do this on a daily basis, because it is the month of my birth. Every day, for all 30 days of the year, I list the things that I grateful for each passing day.

I normally share this with my boys (sons) but maybe this year, I should openly share my gratitude journal. So, for me, November is my month of unwavering gratitude. Even just responding to these questions makes me realise just how much I have to be grateful for, regardless of how tough a year it has been.

Thank you for reminding me of this.

“That I live and breathe and walk this earth makes me special and unique dude! There is only one of me after all. But above and beyond that, I can never compare myself to others because we shine differently, and our ability to shine differently yet simultaneously is what brightens up the world so much. But I suppose what

Who would not love Spring - Mzwaa

“It's the last month of spring and who doesn't love Spring?

The weather is lovely and with the rain comes petrichor, which always triggers pleasant childhood memories.

It also doesn't hurt that most of my favourite fruits are in season around this time of the year hehe.

I believe that everyone is unique in their own way. January, June or December babies, everyone has something different to offer. So I don't really think too much about that.

“What sets me apart from the rest would be my personality, for one; it’s bright, generally positive and I see the good in everybody, yet, where necessary, I know how to tell my people even painful truths when they need to hear them. I have a can-do attitude as well, and I know that if anything needs to be done, then I am the woman for the job. I never fail, I may get delayed, I may fall, but I will rise and I will see it through to the end – I don’t care what it is. My experiences, as well, are enough to have my rather small frame jam-packed with wisdom and insight.

They’ve been both negative and positive and thankfully, with the grace of God, I have been able to turn each of those experiences into a positive that continues to shape my life and those of the people around me on a daily. I am honest, even with myself and I don’t know a person who introspects more than I do. There’s a milieu of positives about I’d say about myself, but hey, I am also a very humble and modest being, so I am going to have to stop before all that flies out the window! All in all, I am me, and that’s my superpower and that’s what makes me unique.”

This month for me is like the concluding paragraph in letters - Mhlonishwa Shiba

“There are a number of things that I love about the month of November besides the fact that it is my birth month. This month for me is like the concluding paragraph in letters because this is the month most of us ramp up our work.

I reflect on my year's work and check whether I accomplished all I wanted to and if not reflect on where I slacked.

November is like that long night before a school trip because of the great anticipation of the awesomeness that awaits me in December. All the family gatherings and vacations with the people I love that were planned months in advance. I love November because she feels like the last paper in an examination and we all know that there is great relief that comes with that.

“What makes me unique from all the other November babies is that there is no other Mhlonishwa Thandolwethu Shiba that is driven by greatness like me.

True, I might be sharing the exact names and surname with a lot of people but trust me when I say we are not the same because of what I am made up of. Passion, prayer, patience and perseverance are my pillars, the urge to better myself and those around me each day I wake up is another trait that makes me different . As they say 'it gets lonely at the top ' so why not bring others with me. Most of us are still clay that is being molded and shaped, the only difference is that I know how exactly I want to be molded and shaped by GOD. At the end of the day I am a young adult that will never stop pushing until I realise my dreams.”

Novermber brings my family together - Nonto 'Nana' Dlamini

“What I like about the month of November is that its Spring, so that translates to sunny blue skies, warm weather and bright colours. But what I love the most about November is that it brings my family together since the majority of my family is born in November including my son.

I’d like to believe that my love for all things quirky makes me different from most November babies. I’m always looking for that one thing that most people wouldn’t like. So when people are going left, I’m part of the few that are going right.”

November to me represents the beginning of the New Year - Sammy Mashwama

“Firstly the fact that November babies were conceived in February the month of love blows me away!!! November to me represents the beginning of the new year surprisingly, yes because I turn a year older but it’s also when the sun starts to come out indefinitely; setting the tone for the kind of summer to expect, November is when all the dresses, all the shorts and floral prints come out to play and all the vegetation is all green and beautiful.

“I think everyone has their own unique traits and I’d like to think of mine as having the ability to keep calm even when so many people take advantage of my kindness and openness. I’m blessed to have such a strong foundation from my parents and a strong barrier from my closest friends and family; that they take up all the anger on my behalf. I think this is actually a trait that many November babies possess. Happy Birthday Month to all my fellow Scorpios. Stay blessed.”

I love the Spring season - Linda Hutchson

“I love November because I love the Spring season! Not only does spring time come with amazing weather that allows us to enjoy being outdoors, it is also the season of new beginnings. Each year when my birthday comes around, I reflect on what I’ve achieved and also spend time thinking about what I’d like to do next, where I see myself in the next year. It’s a blessing that it clashes with the season for renewal and inspiration.

“I’m not sure if it’s a myth but November babies are supposedly more athletic. I am not athletic at all.”

November babies ain't shy - Mistosoul

“November is a month that takes us to the holidays month of December. So during November it's when everyone gets to prepare. Preparing is one important aspect of life and that makes November a special month. November babies ain't shy it's just me, but I still hold a party down and create music like crazy.”

November is like the Friday of the year - Zandie Maseko

“November is like the Friday of the year you know like the pre- party then you have the main, which is December, you get what I mean. You also get to reflect on things you've done in the year, good and bad and work towards being the best version of yourself while you look forward to what the New Year will bring you. “What makes me unique?

The fact that I'm simply myself and them being themselves is already unique in itself. No need to compare and compete, no one should want to be like others. I can't imagine trying to be someone else, must be exhausting.”

November spells summer for me - Khole

“November spells summer for me. Summer being my favourite season. At this time of the year I get a sense of hope, a feeling of rebirth, a time for all things to blossom, to show their true colours, which are colours of love.

The sky becomes the roof, and the outdoors our house. It's a time to take long walks, reconnect with nature, with old friends and family and meet new people. November for me is a time for love. “This November baby is unpredictable. Never ever try to box her up, she will always surprise you. What you think you know about her is limited to what you think. She has learned this to be her trait and she has embraced it.”

There is so much warmth outside - Ncamiso Mhlanga

“What I like about November is that; there is so much warmth outside, the air is fresher, there is so much colour and sun. Uyavuma sunkissed in November. November is like the finale before you get to the festivities of December. So much happiness.

If I had to be more unique than the other fellow November babies then I would automatically be disqualified from being one. What I can allude to is that all November babies like all things positive, being happy, being in love, and lots of money... (Okay, the last part is just me.)
