Dear People,

I have my own box of complaints , he is my friend . For security purposes I will name him “Mr. Teddy Bear” in this complaint . Lately , Mr. Teddy Bear has been complaining because apparently I have been complaining too frequently these past days . Now is that acceptable ; for a box of complaints to all of a sudden commence to complain ???

Sincerely ,
A Lover of Complaints

I am not saying my life issues are more important than the next person!
I just want to be heard! I was sitting in the bath yesterday when I realized how much I actually do for people!
And how little they actually do for me!
The thing is it makes it seem like they do more when the shout and start listing things at you, and at those points some people (like me) aren’t always ready for the reduts to spill out of our minds like a restless coke bottle with a mentos in it!
People like me have to take a day or two, to sit and think clearly about what to say back. I think
this is an admirable attribute and very unselfish of me, this is becuz listing things like that hurts ones feelings! And I would know seeing as tho most of these accusations, stereotype remarks and categorizing are aimed in my direction.
Most of the time I don’t say anything but sit an listen, and when it needs to come out it can never, becuz the reply is always so slow. But if I could tell the people who disappoint me that, they do, they would never turn around and tell me how “useless” or “lazy” I am again.
Or how I do nothing for them! If I think about it carefully I’m always there for the people who need it!
But the minute I want some rope to hang onto, or the minute I need a shoulder to cry on, no sorry, those same people have just had their shirts go to the dry cleaners!
I haven’t been a love person, or maybe I have but just has never felt it or seen it?
And I attract the people who are most likely to be disappointing despite all my efforts.
You feel dissapointment when your bf dumps u and your mother sits and tells u, I told u so…. U feel disappointment when u want to give him another chance because u love him, but your friends say f*$# you, if you get back with him we don’t wanna know, an we don’t actually care, but if u do get back with him we’ll consider u an a-hole.
You feel disappointment when your father promises you something infront of people who he wants to “impress” and then behind the scenes does not deliver.
U feel disappointment when u expect something to be handled properly by someone else because u asked them nicely, but in the end, who cares for you?????
Your disappointment is matched with the expectation u set yourself.
I am supposed to be going into matric next year and due to my schools ponsy attitude we will have ours right at the beginning of the year ahead! February.
My date was a guy I used to date but we are really good friends and we hook up regularly! I asked if he’d go with me a few months ago an he said yes. So there I was,
Planning our night, planning big party buses and drinks and my dress then last week he comes and says oh yeah well I’m still coming but we aren’t gonna hook up, becuz now I have a gf!
Despite that I may seem shallow for saying he can’t come for this reason, my reason is simple! He knew he was coming to my dance!
I will get drunk and I will want to get with him…..
And if I know myself at all! If I don’t get with someone, and it is my special night, I will be depressed and sad and lonely, this is besides all the pent up emotion and those previous examples of disappointment I just listed!!! All in the matter is he disappointed me too!
So I think in the list, of all life’s uncertainties, they should add disappointment.
So our final list includes death, taxes, and disappointment, whether it be in 100 small ways or one huuggee way, its inevitably gonna happen.
Its just nice to know that there’s someone to turn. To when u try an gauge when its about to end!

When I look at the colour of my skin….
I feel remorse for my children… In the south africa of today we all wish to see a combined nation.
However this country is just as separated as it was during appartheid!
At schools you see a small improvement where the black children and white children get along moderately well.
However the separation occurs when we see the black kids eating their food in the desolate corners of the school an the white kids sit in the opposite corner!
We,being reflections of our parents, hold grudges
And are also resentful to the fact that in the society of today; white people despite that we ‘still hold the majority of jobs’
Are losing the jobs once given to us becuz we are white?
If some of us are even lucky to apply to a qualified position, we will lose it to our darker counterparts, becuz we are white.
So it raises the question, is our government actually trying their best to do away with social separation? Are we actually a rainbow nation?
It makes me angry that they do this to anyone! DO AWAY WITH BEE DO AWAY WITH SEPARATION!
We as the youth of SA are trying to build a relationship between races but its being laid on faulty boundaries where human condition actually determines friend….or fo?
Most of my black friends aspire to be white! I shake my head! Why? becuz you think you will get a job? NO!!!! Not the case! The food chain has been set by BEE…
Political saga’s still reflect how our political leaders view white or indian input!!!
LAND is nothing without people….dispite race! But it makes me sick to my stomache that nobody knows what the true colour of their skin should be,
In order to fit the criteria to survive I n everyday life in the south africa today!
