LINDA MAJOLA: ‘I’M A MESS’
Actor Linda Majola – who plays the role of Langa in The Wife recently shared his feelings about depression, anxiety and adulting in a big city.
He stated that he’s a mess and that his compulsive habit of spending money unnecessarily pushes him to go out.
From inconsistent grocery purchases, overspending on junk and alcohol, Linda says being aware of his bad choices has prompted him to do better by himself by eating healthy and finding conducive outlets.
“I’m currently eating healthy (to stay fit) and attempting to balance my finances.”
“While overspending on alcohol, junk food, and bank charges (arising from missing multiple debit orders).”
He says he’s not a domesticated person, and that his flat has begun to reflect his mental state.
“The cleanliness of my apartment coincides with where I am emotionally and mentally, trust me it’s not always a pleasant sight.”
Majola adds that he’s already begun with curating the life he wants for himself, but he’s unfortunately his grandmother’s grandson.
He’s a compulsive hoarder and keeps useless boxes and excessive kitchen paraphernalia in hopes that he’ll put them to great use one day.

“Who knew listening to Eckhart Tole would give me so much calmness & placidity.”
