There was once a piece I wrote about my relationship with the pen and paper.

I struggle to write poetry the way I used to; short, simple & straight to the point. Unless I had been lied to, it was thought provoking. Nonetheless, I’m sure it’ll come around again. “Magicians & magic spells,” it sound more appealing- anticipation of his next trick; a white bunny out his hat, maybe even two. As for the magic spells- ‘The Fairy Godmother’ comes to mind with her magic wand & some fairy dust. Enticing, isn’t it? The thought of it all. The glass slipper, Snow White. But what about the Red Apple. Not Adam & Eve Red Apple, but the one belonging to Snow White- also enchanted. However, there’s a spell just as unappealing & has put many to sleep forever.

The spell consists of a void, a kaleidoscope of overwhelming emotions, then slim to none. Only difference is that there is no Prince Charming that can kiss it away nor magic wand with a little bit of fairydust.

Society has given it a more tactful way of putting it.

‘Mood Spells’

I cannot argue with that because what else could it be?

A tinge of bittersweetness fills my mouth as I think about it because what was once so exciting as a child; magic spells, is now what does the most harm.

My crowd doesn’t applaud & I can’t pull out white bunnies out my hat. The only thing- 'moodiness & pain’ Unintentionally.

I guess that’s my 'Spell’

Guess who’s back? 

Me! 

My commercial break is officially over. I’ll be sprinkling more fairy dust of my creative adventures and escapades coupled with other elements of the writer and human I am. 

Lol I’m sure there’s some question mark as to why I’m flooding my blog with feedback sessions all in one day. This is so because we were on a weeks break so I took advantage of it and now it’s back to reality and reports necessary (which were fun nonetheless.) 

I don’t like how my toes look like so I think I’ll just post my feet with socks. Close enough, right? 

Soooo... this past weekend I wiled out a bit with a couple of friends and the initial destination for chills didn’t fly couldn't’  happen so in response, someone decided to come suggest an alternative which was a bit away. once we entered the parking lot...long before the actual response I was a bit flat out of enthusiasm as it looked rather flat with a questionable amount of old men with significantly young women (however you choose to interpret that statement is entirely upon yourself.)

Give or take a few hours we were on the empty/dance floor in the front of the restaurant dancing amongst ourselves and total strangers whilst working out a sweat. It will be fair to say that I woke up the next day with a painful body from all the dancing.

Would I go back? Possibly. But only with the same crowd.

Well ever since I’ve moved back from Zambia where I was to be a foreigner who was able to use public from school with my ex (he was one of the people to teach me), ironically I haven’t been able to that in my own motherland. 

Unfortunately the closest I can get to public transport, because taxis don’t reach anywhere near my house, is an Uber which has been go-to since mt car has been in for reports for the past few days so that I don’t suffocate at home. This has happened more than once this year so essentially the most recent was this past during my school holidays so I can be someone my age and go out. 

Creating your own interpretation of a particular artistic task is usually a bit difficult to carry out because there is always the temptation of thinking about how it should be done. 

So in this instance when that task was given I decided to interpret and depict it in two different ways.

1) Abstract

Ever heard of Justice? No, not the whole judge and jury concept. But the musical band. No? Well you’re not the only one. 

I heard about them in a mini jamming session in my kitchen with someone with a wider and more interesting playlist than mine. The occasional similarities consoled me as to the fact that I’m not entirely beyond redemption. With this, I asked for some newbie music that I wasn’t aware of. Errrrrmahgawsh!!! 

God bless the soul of this individual. I then happened to come across ‘Justice.’ A bit skeptical with the first track...I gave it some more time and the album became more gripping. 

I’m sure I can say that I’ve had this album on repeat since 07.00am whilst working on my assignments. 

New isn’t always bad. 

Never judge a banana by its peel. So yes, Justice, is it. The name (or symbol) of the album is † 

When last did one use the post office for anything other than paying traffic fines or renewing car license disks? 

Good question, yeah?

Sooooooo in that case I wrote 3 (yes, wrote- not typed) letters which I actually still need to physically post at the post office. The destinations would be as follows:

- Cpt 

- Zambia
