"do you mind me telling you all of this"

I'm sorry if I zone out while you tell me about how crappy your job is, what you went through as a child, the problems that you're having with your dad, what that guy you have a crush said or didn't say, what your colleagues at work do that annoys you, how you think he's losing too much weight, what you think about the friday night market at the old biscuit mill. How you didn't get that promotion, how you didn't get that job, how you've spread a rumour and now have to face the consequences, when you apologise for giving me the wrong ice cream, how someone forgot your birthday, how you forgot your dads birthday, how your train was late, how the clothes don't fit you, about how you think we should sell cake, about how your rent money was stolen.
About how you need to listen to someone elses voice except your own.

miskien

It's a play and it's beyond amazing! It's playing at the intimate theatre in orange street, but only till saturday. Performance is at 8:30 and tickets are R70 but less if you're a student. The most moving piece of theatre I have ever seen! " Miskien is about the spaces between people, and what we do, what we don't do, what we say, and what we keep to ourselves when we want to fill them"

I've had a week.

my week..oi vey. so I wrote a brief description because that's what I do. thy week thy name is emotion!

2 birds with 6 bullets. “you can’t talk to me like that” said the man with the dreadlocks, 10 years my senior. Aangename kenis. a name in size 9 font- the amount of energy that was expendid has gone to waste. “babe, I’m trying to not lose my good mood”. Do you understand the implications and seriousness of spreading a malicious rumour like that? Metrofail’s some of the time. “I never meant to let you down”.
I know I shouldn’t feel sorry for you but I did as well when Lindy was ill. She should have been here for this, she would have liked to have been here. “I’m weak with a stake in my heart”. “What exactly are you doing with your life right now?” My standard and yard stick is Jesus. “I realised that by me saying yes that we would grow old together which would mean that one of us would die first while the other one would have to watch.” Picking white daisies out of a bath. We really do prefer you when you aren’t sober. “I’m gonna have to write down all my stories on this serviette so I don’t forget”. No, we are not the same, I am an Angolan in this country trying to make a life for myself. I told him he played very well and he thanked me even though he couldn’t see my face or the one of the other girl standing beside me. Ja, you don’t really strike me as a smoker. “I’m starting to wonder about that myself”. He was just emotionless, I could have cried or done anything and he would just stared at me blankly. “That man laying up there, is he alive? ”Had a 45 minute conversation with him around this same time last year and now we pass each other every morning in silence. "I just feel as though you've been neglecting me" He held out the cup as she sang “we are here saviour, we are here”. Oh, besides Tammy, don't worry though, you'll be next...I have a feeling". You have been loved by someone good.

Breathe.

society

been severly dissapointd by society for a bit after reality gave me a MASSIVE slap in the face. Then today on the train I watched as a lady remembered something funny while she sat in silence. I smiled to myself as I watched her grin get wider.
