ARE WE REALLY FREE?

I know that this is a bit late but who cares? Anyways I decided to wake up early and make my way to town because the day before I was there but I forgot something Important so I took a taxi to town. On the way to there we passed people dressed In DA t-shirts running around the streets apparently celebrating the above mentioned holiday and then one of the ladies in the taxi started speaking about how people from that party cannot be celebrating the day when these are the very same people who took everything from us"blacks" and everyone started agreeing with her.

We all know what this day is about, but what we are celebrating may have changed. I have been making my own observations as well as to what it evokes in us as people. We can sit here and speak about a rainbow nation and equality and yet we are unable to make amends and forgive what is supposed to stay in the past. With ever public holiday that puts us in the past we have been unable to make decisions, step foot in the right direction because of the chains of our past that have now become our present. You see this country is far from being free, we may be the rainbow nation but our hatred and fear of what will or can be will never make us rest easy. We are unable to grow and change, have better leaders because of fear, we are not free not even close. We continue to make some bad decisions and we have dug up the past just like we do everyday of our lives when we choose to relive the the events of our pasts. 

We speak of the young person rising and yet they are all over clubs getting drunk, encouraging them to have blessers and have a better life full of all the luxuries they want. How does a young person rise and go to school as to better themselves when even the jobs we get we don't get them based on merit? My question is are convinced that this is freedom? the kind that we signed up for?

LOVE VS THE 21st CENTURY

I am going to touch a very sensitive issue today and yes i know you don't want to hear it. You have probably heard it so much that you blocked it out of your tiny brain but hey here it comes SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE IS IT OR IS IT NOT A SIN? I have been researching this topic for four years now and nothing has changed in fact it gets worse every year. I have been asking people young and old about this specific topic and most of the young ones had this to say "A relationship would never work without sex" "I love sex so much that as much as I love you i will need permission to get it outside" "Why would God create something then not let us perform it" "There is no scripture that says sex before marriage is a sin" "I have to taste before i marry,what if the person is bad in bed?" The last one really killed me because what does one know about someone being bad in bed,unless you actually have something to compare it to.The reason w...

SWITCHED ROLES

Image
The past week I finally managed to log on to facebook and to my surprise there was this picture that was making the rounds. I believe out of the first 10 posts it appeared 3 times and I was disturbed as the caption was the same. You see to me this picture is an insult because, most men would never make the same sacrifices that they expect from women. Why is it that women are the ones who have to bend over backwards and yet men just want a finished product. men want to be waited for and a patient counterpart but yet they are unable to do the same thing for us women. This might be just an opinion but truth is the world an even society rates us differently and I know most of you think I am being old here but if you actually paid more attention to your mentality which shaped by mostly culture because its what we are fed everyday. You will actually realize that what you think is your idea really isn't.  This is not feminism do not misunderstand me, this is just something that...

REFLECTIONS OF A QUEEN

It has been weeks now and a part of me has been going through trying times and I cannot believe that I put myself through that again, I mean have You seen yourself. I was listening to sad songs for what I do not even remember why for days I felt sorry for myself and I shouldn't have done that. You see I did the one thing I promised never to do again. I think you forgot one thing when you met me, I have been broken before and the truth is nothing can ever tear me to shreds again. You see this is Me and this right here is REAL. It may be that you count yourself lucky enough to have seen me vulnerable and count yourself unlucky that you ever set foot at the door. In the past months this I have come to realize that I am one amazing human being and I tend to whisper it in the dark instead of shouting it out at the highest of rooftops. I woke up one day and I came across a beautiful soul, we started talking about random things in life and how they have had a totally different first i...
