Song of the day: Deftones- Beauty School
The most challenging part of writing is the moment of
execution. Inspiration plants a colourful seed that can flourish once nurtured
and this experience is the creative moment of conception. Over the last month I
have had such difficulty in expressing myself verbally. I am not sure yet
whether it is a side effect of taking sleeping medication, but something is
screwing with my ability to speak. I often feel that describing what I am
feeling and thinking cannot be linked to words. The sensation is strange but
enjoyable. I feel a certain extent of separateness from the world as I battle
to explicate my experiences within it. As a result of this I have developed a
mild social awkwardness yet I have a very interesting and satisfying social
life. The last 6 months have proved to be a great challenge and it is evident
that my psyche has been slightly altered; however the people in my life have
been constant and supportive of the alterations.
6months ago I dropped out of my Honours course. I felt
content with my decision and I knew that life was about to become challenging
but I had no idea to what extent I would be challenged as I had fallen into the
pressure-filled yet comfortable life of a student. I headed back to the
soothing Kommetjie and moved in with my parents. 2 days after leaving
University I started working at a local restaurant on the beach side.

sometimes we need leave our comfort zone and take some risk in order to discover new horizons ... if you don't do that you will be forever in the same place
