I can’t remember what I was watching or reading but I came upon something very interesting. Did you know that a human being, fully grown, needs four hugs a day for survival and eight a day for maintenance and twelve a day for growth (Virginia Satir, family therapist, ‘Why you should get (and give) more …
Matrix spoilers contained within I was thinking about virtual reality the other day and I realised something. If people from the world of The Matrix saw virtual reality, would they not be scared? Can you just imagine Morpheus popping up and being like, “We thought it was a game too, when it started. We were …
It is really hard for people to believe that I want to be single. Whenever I tell people this they always try to change my mind. I’ve heard some very interesting arguments, all of which I disagree with. Perhaps that’s the stubborn side of me but I refuse to believe that you can’t live a …
There are people in this world who are beautiful and we all accept that they are beautiful and I’m like why? I mean are all the celebrities who are deemed beautiful your type? I can say, no. That doesn’t mean I think they’re ugly, I just think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. …

This may be a humble brag (the title) but I’m honestly being genuine here. Sometimes I think I care too much and it’s a problem. When I meet new people and we get along and we click, in my head we’re friends now. Sometimes it happens that quickly and sometimes I can know someone for …
I’m back!!! *cue Stitch evil laugh* Did ya miss me? Anyway on with my musings. This may be a me thing and a short post but do you ever just want to be unique? So my name is actually Gift, in case you were wondering, and in the West it’s a unique name. In the …
Something that fascinates me is love. I know last week I revealed my scientific way of looking at things but even so, I still love, love. One thing that fascinates me is how couples get to together in difficult times and under impossible circumstances. For example: interracial marriage in apartheid America. Interracial marriage between a …
I can’t remember which book I first read this word in but wherever I read it, it has stuck with me forever, *wiggles eyebrows* frisson *in seductive French voice*.
