Remember Me When I Am Gone Away

Remember me when I am gone away,

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you planned:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For it the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.

Girls...

Wait, can we talk about why it's such a phenomenon for a woman to not have makeup on. Because we hate ourselves so much that we kiss our pillows with foundation on and drawn eyebrows, waterproof mascaras, so that waking up doesn't turn into a nightmare, right? As a woman who walks out the house and walks out in those streets without makeup more often than not I appreciate those days when I beat my brows so good that fleeking has nothing on me. I see a lot of girls without makeup on a daily basis, whether I'm on my way to work or school but I don't bow down to each one in awe of her bravely because oh, the rest of them with mascaras on, hate the genetic result they found in the mirror that morning. But hey No, it's not either hating nor judging the need for makeup, or what so ever. Some believe that most women these days define themselves through makeup, but hey there's no such because yes I think that every women can be whoever they want to be and ho...

Note To Self...

...Sometimes it is the change that I fight the most yet it is the change that I need the most. Well sometimes that change which I fear to lose is that which I would benefit from letting go. It is difficult to identify clarity with emotionally misted lenses. Responding to the past in the present can stagnate one's future. Let go and breathe Gabisile, keep calm and breathe, I tell myself...

The Fear of Failure

I remember back in High School I wrote a speech about the fear of failure. I remember how I said failure is good for you. How you may ask.? Because I kinda think it gives you a second chance, and a 3rd chance, and a 4th chance and many chances after that to be able to right your wrongs. Everybody deserve chances, no matter how many they may be. Failure is worth another try, nothing is as painful as the "what if's", the "if only's", and the "should have's", I don't want to live in that world where I wonder and roam in futile thoughts of what could have been. Failure is good, its good for you, its good for me And guess what? Its good for all of us. So you just get up, dust yourself up, and for what you may ask? Well because you have unlimted tries Try, try and try again till you get it right. As I text this I got to Rosebank College at 2013 and have failed 2 modules so far, yet stayed home because of financial problems, I'm tryin...
