My Changing Body

On February 22, 2021February 22, 2021 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

Trigger warning: weight, eating disorders mentioned (not mine but they are mentioned), body image So last year was interesting, am I right? I spent most of it indoors as did most people. Now typically during the summer I gain weight and during the winter I lose weight. Even saying I gain weight is a bit …

What’s Up with My Brain?

On February 1, 2021January 8, 2021 By GiftIn Musings1 Comment

I am bad at maths, however I’m finding out that I may have dyscalculia which paints my whole secondary school experience differently. Anyway the thing I found hard about maths was algebra and trigonometry. Once someone explained it and went through it with me I was more likely to understand. I used to be in …

Can Extroverts be Shy?

On January 25, 2021December 8, 2020 By GiftIn Musings2 Comments

Extroverts rule the world. This is what I think. I mean it is seen as weird to be an introvert and normal to be an extrovert. I once heard someone I know say that they didn’t trust someone who was quiet and I was like, “What?” I’ve known plenty of untrustworthy loud people. But anyway …

African Names Aren’t Weird

On January 18, 2021December 8, 2020 By GiftIn Musings6 Comments

Africa has fifty four countries all with their own languages. I am including the islands in this number. So we all have our style of naming. African names are not all the same when you consider all the different countries, tribes, languages and races that live in the continent. However, even though we’re so diverse …

Four Hugs a Day

On January 11, 2021December 4, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

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 …

VR and the Matrix

On January 4, 2021December 4, 2020 By GiftIn Film, MusingsLeave a comment

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 …

The Single Life

On December 28, 2020November 10, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

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 …

Beauty: Society vs the Individual

On December 21, 2020November 19, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

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. …

It’s Ok to Cry

On December 14, 2020November 10, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

Society tells men that it is not ok to cry. Even when I was younger and thinking about my future boo *wiggles eyebrows* I remember wanting someone who was strong and manly. I equated manliness to not crying too much. I’ve heard it said around me that it’s ok for a man to cry but …

I Love Being Black

On December 11, 2020December 8, 2020 By GiftIn Musings3 Comments

There is a lot of negativity thrown at Black people. It’s mostly from racist people and people who are racist but don’t think they are but really they are. There’s also ignorance we have to deal with and micro aggressions and institutional racism which is insidious and hard to fight. However, I love being Black. …
