Elements of Freedom

Freedom

But, you’ll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan
Twenty years, wonder who they gon’ say was more important
Both changed the game, came through and made a lane
Who’s to say that who’s greater, all we know, they ain’t the same

Self Reflections: 1

Reflections

Ahh, self reflections. COVID-19 was a period of introspective musings for many. Discovering that a lack of social interaction was huge a challenge for a lot of people. Even for someone like me who tends to err on the side of an introvert. I don’t crave constant interaction but staying at home in my down time took the fun out of ‘doing nothing’. Even just aimlessly walking down main street wasn’t something encouraged. Going out for a coffee wasn’t something to jump at either. 

Reflecting became something I found doing quite a bit. Not just mulling on myself but others around me and society. Case in point: I realised for someone who claims to not need a lot of things in life, I actually purchase a lot. However I don’t profess to be a minimalist so let that be my get-out-of-jail free card. Stay tuned for a future instalment on this one.

Single Child Syndrome

Single Child

A friend recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Even though she doesn’t know me yet, we’ve actually got something in common. 

Someone once asked me “are you an only child?”

– Yes, how did you know? 

Dunno. You sort of have that vibe. 

– What…?

Winter Comforts

Winter comfort - Mountain silhouettes.

Winter is officially here in the southern hemisphere. To be fair, it was already cold well before 1 June. Frosty mornings warming to days that barely top 13ºC isn’t something I look forward to and neither does my laundry.
