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 …

Know Your Worth, Don’t Take Crap

On September 21, 2020August 31, 2020 By GiftIn Musings7 Comments

Black people are very talented that is for sure. We have contributed a lot to music, film and fashion. We have contributed a lot to the make up industry and to the hair industry. Oh and let’s not forget dance. So we know we’re talented right? I hope we know this and live in this …

Food That Triggers…

On September 14, 2020August 31, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

…Memory, good memories and bad memories. My grandma came up with a lot of her own recipes. I used to stay with her when school was out (when I lived in Rwanda) and I loved it! I loved my grandparents and all of my memories with them are good. My grandma loved to feed me …

Are we Smarter?

On September 7, 2020August 31, 2020 By GiftIn MusingsLeave a comment

The common thought is that in the 20th and 21st centuries we have advanced as the human race. We are smarter and more civilised. However 2020 has had me questioning that. Are we really smarter? Sure, we have created a vast amount of things in the two centuries and the 21st century is not done …
