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 …

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 …

Being too Caring

On December 7, 2020November 19, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

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 …

Love in Impossible Times

On October 19, 2020September 25, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

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 …

Is Frisson Real?

On October 12, 2020September 25, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

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*. Now frisson, as I understand it, is that feeling you get when you like someone. It’s the butterflies, the spark of electricity that goes through your …

Bully to Stop Bullying?

On October 5, 2020September 25, 2020 By GiftIn Musings5 Comments

A while back there was the scandal, in the kpop world, of bullying within the group AOA. I really liked the group. Ok, I merely liked them. I liked their title tracks, they never missed but then my girl Choa left and it wasn’t the same. So I’m sure you’re familiar with what happened, if …
