That thing we do not speak off

You know when you read a book or watch a film and they mention “that thing we do not speak off”? It is a different thing each time; be it an illness, a way of being, a history, a past occurrence etc. There is always something and as you sit there and read or watch [...]

Moving through layers

I finally made it down to the club this evening for a training session. It felt really good. As always, when I have been to the club, I am glad I went. I went there feeling determined and up for whatever would be there. I enjoyed every minute and the two hours flew by. When [...]

Oh 2011, where to start…

When I sat down last year to write the 2010-gone-by post it was about having started to blog, got a tattoo, laser eye surgery, Christmas parties and driving too fast. This time… where to start. This has been a year of so many changes. Of heart-break. Of self-discovery. Of meeting amazing people who I will [...]

It all starts with one

It all starts with one. One thought. One look. With one moment. When looking back at my life and the decisions I have made throughout I can most times pin point it to one single event at the time. I most likely did not realize it there and then. Well, most times anyway. Sometimes it [...]

When I am all grown up…

You know those question you got as a kid and then as a teenager? The “what do you want to be when you grow up”?… yeah those. I could never give a distinctive answer. The truth is, I still can’t. This has bugged me for a long time. At some stage I was getting worried [...]

Restless

Restless, I feel restless. In my mind I wander aimlessly. There is no direction, no map. I ask questions, receive no answers. I seek but cannot find. I do not know what I am looking for. Emotions surge within. Looking for an outlet to soothe my mind. Trying to find relief. Where will I go? [...]

What is love?

What is love? It is a question that has been asked and answered throughout time. Each answer seems to trigger a new question. The search is never-ending. Poems have been written, songs composed, films created – all to describe, answer and seek love. Some find it, some loose it, some are still seeking. The variety [...]

Walking on my own

Those of you who read this blog know that I have been single for a while now. Single for the first time in many years. It still is “early days” considering the length of time that I was in a relationship but somehow the counting of weeks, months no longer matters to me. It is [...]

Do you believe in monogamy?

While I was away on my holiday I still tried to be online every once in a while, cos let’s face it… I am way to curious about what is happening everywhere. It was during this time that a blog post from the lovely Nikki B, on monogamy, caught my attention. Read it, share it, [...]

Can you spell r.e.b.o.u.n.d?

This is a subject that I have thought about a lot lately which is not a surprise really considering the change in my personal circumstances. I have known and know enough friends and acquaintances that “get over someone by getting under someone else”. The well-known expression is alive and kicking. I have always frowned upon [...]
