"In my parent's house I learned lying to spark people's feelings, I learned to keep the truth to myself. I learned how brief life really is" ~ from Invisibles to an invisible. Now, that is a lie. In my parent's house I learned how to laugh hysterically, enjoy music from before I existed. I learnt to dance. I learned how to love, even when the rooms were empty and the cupboards bare. I lived and played. Now, as a single woman I look back at that photo and wonder "Why should I live like this?" Little girl found safety in isolation. Where did I go so wrong so fast?

💥I just lost two hours to loadshedding - so I am feeling pretty grounded right now. 💥
Apologies. That was not the heading I planned on writing. Today was supposed to be about making fun of every single person who grew up recognizing a mobile phone, a television, or the radio. Not to mention a kettle and bottled water. How did we get this far? I'm starting to think "dumb luck" played a bigger role than Darwinism.
Amazed at the kindness we all have. Unfazed by the dazzling array of promises.
This article should have been titled "Dazed and dumbstruck". The possibilities are endless, unfortunately some of those are fatal. You want to jump from a cord? Awesome. The flight will blow your mind. The ground will kill you. Or canoe in a thunderstorm, just visit the church first. It won't save you but at least you will have had your confession. I'm betting I'm going to get electrocuted by this same device, or one of the others with their tangled cords. Back to 3 hours ago; where I realized once again: Whether it is 17 seconds or fifteen minutes. Time's not waiting for anyone. Stop finding excuses. This is your one chance. Regret is the most bitter pill to swallow. Worse than whatever you are on now.
I found an old polaroid. Laugh, but hey: I was cute. The doll however did not keep its head for long. Perhaps it was the first to get a nose piercing. Dolls and me. I love them for a day, then mess with them. Yes guys - I relate.
Cute though🪆
Okay it's not clear and oriented wrong but simpler times. Besides, I prefer not publicising my childhood. It is a tad embarrassing. Besides, it did make the local paper, so there are copies mouldering away in some basement.
Amazed and unfazed.
If you live music the way I do you know these words by now: "Welcome to the panic room." AU/Ra you read my mind, especially when she says, "My phone has no signal…the silence is deafening."
There is a special place in my heart for every one of you. No, your success does not faze me. It never fails to amaze me though. Keep on doing what you do best and never change. You take us places we've never been. We support you, keep your eyes open. We will be there. Fake friends? No. Groupie? Not cute enough. Possibly twenty years ago?! Admiration, respect, and a crazy kind of persistence. "We want MORE."
Stepped away from this and I kid you not. The television advertised a show called "The calling". With a very stimulating trailer. Something about not having lost faith in humanity - just cutting it close. Sounding a tad too familiar?
Now, if you like weird; this next pic will amuse you (just don't even consider acting it out!) Flash warning - send the kids away, as if they don't know it.
The last word there is CRAZY. "You ever think you have to be a bit crazy".
I do. Hence this:
I love all my pretty boys and girls🦇
~a poem inspired by Bauhaus "Someone shot nostalgia in the back."
Lost dream ╰(*°▽°*)╯
in the shadow of his smile, I found my dreams
he did not reflect me, or complete me
yet, the moonlight in his eyes seemed to whisper - something incoherent, something neglected
"Understand me"
my dream came to life in him. and all I can ever do was deeply regret him and ache to forget.
~dedicated to those dreams that disappear when our eyes open.
(And the bite marks on my lily-white neck).

and this:
Speaking metaphorically, of course. I am still here, unfazed, and amazed at the unforeseen events which ended up blessings in disguise. Now, I did tell you I was going to steal this pic, so don't sue me okay friend?
My leather-bound book, entitled: What the f###f? happened. Somewhere already on sitting on a bookshelf. Working hard to ensure I have my own aisle.
Resigner
- missing an audio event as I'm on the prowl for something a bit stronger than paracetamol, a lot less potent than opium, and a lot more liquid too. Bet you a dollar it will be green tea. (Sigh). Let's hope they have a re-run.
Just move forward. One foot in front of the other. You know it is what you truly desire.
Are you? Awaken angels! Live, love, laugh and let's do something out of the ordinary.
Resigner (still not resigned).
