I was watching Key and Peele sketches on YouTube, because why not? Long story short – a waiter did something that one of the characters did not approve of and he said apologized by saying ‘I am sorry’. Before he could continue, he was cut off by the character saying ‘Don’t be sorry be better.’… Continue reading Don’t Be Sorry

12 15ths for the 2nd Time
'We suggest we should hold burial on Tuesday the 18th.' It was another night of a full house, and familiar faces sat in a large circle, deliberating the activities for the next few days. I sat next to my little sister, looking up once in a while because I had to be alert during that… Continue reading 12 15ths for the 2nd Time
00:01
I watched my bedroom door at 23:59 on the 17th of May 2021. The seconds felt like hours, and what would normally be a quiet night was a night crowded by hushed whispers from familiar and unfamiliar voices. 00:00. The phone screen read '18 May' against my black wallpaper. I looked at the door one… Continue reading 00:01
Hard Hitting Truth
The deodorant can I use had a problem. When I pressed down on it, nothing came out. It was full, but the can was faulty. It seemed like an internal issue and I didn't know how to open it to check. I gave up pretty quickly and put it on the shelf. Disappointed that I… Continue reading Hard Hitting Truth
Tribute: The Wedding
My sister and I sat outside the gate as we waited for my friend to arrive.Our chitenges were wrapped carelessly around our waists and all we could do was indulge in one of the peaceful parts of the process. Distraction. As we watched the road ahead of us, a wedding procession passed by. And it… Continue reading Tribute: The Wedding
So, You Think You Can Dance?
Yesterday, my sister and I were watching the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. As early 20-year-old women in their prime do.At one point it was time for the music performance thing. And it was Justin Bieber *squeals in 2010- induced Bieber Fever*. He obviously had back up dancers and whenever someone performs and they have dancers,… Continue reading So, You Think You Can Dance?
Leggings vs. Jeans
The Famous Five, or is it Famous Fifteen? In my case, The Famous Fifty-five! There is a stereotype of all uni students that says we all put on an immense amount of weight during our first year. When I saw my family for the first time after 3 months away, my mum and sister told… Continue reading Leggings vs. Jeans
The Inevitable
The truth is, I don't know.I am aware I posted something about you having no business NOT knowing how something will turn out.But in essence, we spend most of our lives not knowing what will happen. We can have a schedule for the next day, but we cannot plan what will be handed to us… Continue reading The Inevitable
The Treadmill
A treadmill is a machine you find in a gym. You press a few buttons and this conveyor belt-like-thing rotates and you have to walk/jog/run so that you don’t fall. I recently got onto a treadmill. Not for the first time, but for the first time in a long time. It was moving, I was… Continue reading The Treadmill
I’m (not) Over It!
I could just be sitting down, scrolling through the Food Channel line-up for the day, then my mind does that thing where it loses focus then I find myself thinking about an incident that had occurred and the SAME hurt, the SAME sadness will wash over me. Sometimes I have to snap back to reality,… Continue reading I’m (not) Over It!
