January 2016 – The Open Mic
https://passmethemic.wordpress.com/2016/01
January 14, 2016. January 14, 2016. Going, Gone [Short Story]. This is an experiment that may or may not work. I enjoy writing short stories and I’ve been trying to think of a way to get them out to more people. So, here goes nothing. I hope you enjoy.). I hate this fucking painting. Also, I’m leaving, I blurted suddenly, my eyes still fixed on the jumble of colours in front of me. It was selling for R195 000. You’re joking, right? Asked Vince in disbelief. No, I answered simply. I mean, you’re willingly...

All Is Well – The Open Mic
https://passmethemic.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/all-is-well/comment-page-1
October 1, 2015. October 1, 2015. Today felt remarkably like the day I read the last sentence of the book series that changed my young life forever. Any young adult who grew up reading the Harry Potter series understands what I mean all too well. For those of you didn’t, follow me along anyway. You treat the new music you get every year like a sacred entity, a living being that you gradually over time, begin to assimilate and become one with. It transforms from ink on a page to words on lips, to subt...

February 2015 – The Open Mic
https://passmethemic.wordpress.com/2015/02
February 26, 2015. March 15, 2015. Being A Black Anything Is Difficult. This is one of the blogs that I thought long and hard about. Should I write it, shouldn’t I? Are people tired of hearing of racism and how minority groups are being oppressed? To get in.” Maybe I should specify that I’m talking about my white classmates here. Undesirable that the only way you’re going to praise me is if I seem as White as possible to you? How does one not become despondent? These are questions I only wish I had answe...

October 2014 – The Open Mic
https://passmethemic.wordpress.com/2014/10
October 26, 2014. Social Networks: How Social Are They Actually Making Us? Disclaimer: I would like to establish that I’m a pretty regular user of social networks, particularly Facebook. So I’m not pointing fingers, I am (as the title suggests) just making some casual observations. How social are you really? So my friends and I love going out (whenever the budget allows, of course) and sushi is one of the group favourites. If there is a sushi special somewhere, rest assured that we. I have a few friends,...

The Art Of Being Black – Part 1 – The Open Mic
https://passmethemic.wordpress.com/2016/06/29/the-art-of-being-black-part-1/comment-page-1
June 29, 2016. The Art Of Being Black – Part 1. I’m going to be trying an experiment over the next few weeks. I’m going to document the day-to-day struggles of being a young, Black female trying to make it in the medical field in a series of blogs. Let’s see how it goes, shall we. Has anyone ever told you about the art of being Black? So, rather grudgingly sometimes, they let their child go every morning. The let them free in an environment where this immature mind is already having to process why th...

Do I Intimidate You? – The Open Mic
https://passmethemic.wordpress.com/2015/11/12/do-i-intimidate-you
November 12, 2015. Do I Intimidate You? Do you know what it tastes like? I know I sure do. I definitely don’t always have as much of it as I should most of the time but it’s the fuel that’s kept me running for my whole life. I know nothing else. And that’s why I honestly don’t care if I intimidate you or not. Not anymore. Do I intimidate you? I hope, very much, that the answer to this question is yes. “Why? Is it my coarse sense of humour and unapologetically liberal use of profanity? The older I get, th...

November 10, 2014. 6 Reasons Being Single Sucks. This is just from my perspective. So, without further ado, here are some reasons why being single sucks! 1 Friends in relationships telling you: “Be happy you’re single! Being in a relationship is so much work! This one gets to me so badly. Well, if you’re currently in one, it can’t be as much work as you’re telling me it is, now can it? 2 That couple on Facebook. 3 Not really knowing if you’re okay with being single or not. Been reciprocated. I’...First t...

August 5, 2014. August 12, 2014. Missing puzzle pieces and where to find them. Even when you’ve found the other puzzle piece that fits you just right, that’s not the end-point. A puzzle has many other parts and you need them to finish the picture. *A* piece doesn’t have to be *the* piece. Don’t forget the rest of the picture. – T. Shozi. Like most people, I’m pretty guarded with my feelings because we all know what it’s like to be hurt by people who mean a lot to us. We always try to less...Siphosethuson...
