Die mag van gewoonte

 

Die mag van gewoonte

 

 

Jy was gemaklik. Gewoonlik kan jy bekostig om kos te koop, om die hele huis te voorsien. Jy betaal kos, water, elektrisiteit en die gewone maandlike rekening en het iets oor om jouself mee te ‘treat’. Daardie klein bederf wat so lekker is. Soms gooi jy petrol in die kar en gaan oor ‘n naweek op ‘n ‘outing’, jy weet, sommer ‘n rondry na ‘n museum of ‘n vlooimark.

“People don’t realize they aren’t able to choose whether or not to believe something. If they subconsciously believe something, therein lies the potential for a curse.”

unexplained like how in a moment
a baby’s weeping can turn into a smile
and how with just a dash of the sun’s kiss
a rose can open up her secrets and bloom

Let’s Eat Fifty Shades of Grey

“Oh my.”
― E.L. James

Yes, it is an actual quote from the book. “Oh My.” I saw the movie and I thought it is the story about a man with a serious incapability to have feelings like a normal person, a guy who can just show expressions when he hits the living

The Voice

I exist not just in your fantasies

blomme op grafte en oorlewing

Al ooit gevoel soos plastiek blomme op ‘n graf in ‘n myn dorp, daardie iets wat iemand met deernis geplaas het om afskeid te neem, om liefde te betoon, dan kom ‘n skerminkel
