Thank you Fatima!

I’m busy updating my site, it’s a good few months out of time, so I decided to begin with the most recent and move backward – A whole new kind of time travel.

Excellent article. I too am a child of the democracy in SA and have had similar experiences when I was younger, of hopes and dreams of a career (deemed unconventional by some, misunderstood by most) being trampled on. Here’s to forging our way through with strength and resilence- as women- regardless of those who try to trip us along the way. May every child have the chance to follow their dreams, female or male.

strange, i hit the reply button on yer comment and came upon an error. hence This comment, all fresh and new!

You are wise to never refuse a hug. They are the currency of the emotional world and quite strong against the dollar

Holden caulfield! a literary reference I know! Wait…let me google to be sure.
Indeed! I’ve even read the book and withstood the urge to do some assasinatin’

Blame it on the weather, or blame it on the fact that generally you can’t have one emotion without the other. Wait..there’s a quote from the movie The Shadowlands which comes to mind…

“Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers any more. Only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I’ve been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That’s the deal.”

I think that’s the first movie to make me cry…and then I went to the next room, and my brother’s were watching Bill and Ted’s Amazing and adventure

It all sort of balanced out.

Sham,

I won’t refuse a hug (much in need of one, actually).

But yea, toying with metaphor feeling very much like Holden Caulfield and thinking, “Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.”

No faith in human connections and all of that.

I blame it on the weather.
