Yeah I Said It

Done or Dunzo

Once, I wrote a poem. It was called, ‘I am the bloody turf’. I wrote the poem when I was going through my first break up with a guy I had dated for close to three years. Our on again off again relationship was scarred but the love we shared was … something that still makes me smile. During that break up, a huge part of me wanted my boyfriend back because it pained to exist without him but then another part of me reminded me how bad things had gotten and how illogical it was that I should be wanting that again. Because of these two strong pulls, I felt like there were two sides of me: The Heart and The Mind. Later when I wrote the poem, I added a third side: Me.

Testing One Two Three

I’m one of those graphic thinkers. Growing up I always used pictures and images to think, describe events and cram for exams. I would have a 100% better chance of getting an answer correct if there was a diagram supporting the answer than I would of it was just a bunch of words.

Mutual Sin

When I was growing up, I thought that parents fighting, father’s cheating, husbands (or wives) beating each other up, alcoholic parents you name it, was a thing of ‘their‘ generation and not my generation. I honestly thought that my little childhood friends and I would grow up being different, that we would never cheat or fight or over indulge in alcohol because we knew it was bad. I thought that my 12 year old next door neighbor Eddie would never do these things to his wife because we were different.

Sequel to ‘Who You Give it To’

I am extremely excited to write this particular article because it is so, so dear to me. *Wiggling fingers* let’s begin shall we!

In 2011, I had the pleasure and displeasure of meeting a great teacher. He was over six feet tall with a domineering frame, strong presence and a captivating quality in his arrogant speech. I was consumed by his aura and unapologetic ego. He soon became a frequent visitor in my life.

Who You Give it To

I heard it many times, that as a woman, you end up dating/marrying your father. I’ve always had an opinion about such myths but I held back my sentiments on this one. It was a weird thing to think about-dating my dad ( (shudder) ) and so I thought it was complete rubbish; ‘Cosmo propaganda’ is what I called it.

Table For One

I read somewhere that 25 is the ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ age. I was surprised that this was a shared belief since I recall last year telling my older friends that I felt like I was going through some sorta ‘quarter life crisis or something’; after which we laughed it over of course.

The One

For a piece I thought I would come to write with as much ease as the thought crosses my mind, ‘The One’ has proved to be a difficult article to construct. Either this subject is too wide and vast to grasp a point upon which to begin discussion, or it has just left me blank. Ironic really.

Because I was experiencing some sort of writer’s block with this one (despite my urging desire to write about it) I bought a romance novel. Nothing too erotic – a Nicholas Sparks, you know… the guy who wrote ‘The Notebook’?

Winter Bunny High

Love is that thing that makes everything dull and full of gloom suddenly beautiful and bearable. ‘Rose colored glasses’ as my friend once put it.

Today, I talk about summer and winter bunnies and the rampant rush of excitement they spread throughout the city round the months of July and December! More to this is the sparkly relationships that boom during these periods.

Inflation Hits Love Accounts

Money can’t buy me love? How do they know it can’t? Nobody knows the answer to that!

My cousin once asked me, “would you rather be the girl laughing at the back of the bicycle or the girl crying at the back of a Mercedes?” I have never answered that question.
