Day 8

Task: Three things you want to say to different people


Sifiso...

Wow, this a tough one, considering that the day is nearly over. I cannot sign a release form for this to be on the blog.

1. Friends (The gents)

Thank you guys for being incredibly awesome. I may not be the best friend you have, but thanks for showing me love anyway. I'm so grateful you guys are too lazy to make new friends. Love you gents. I owe a lot of who I am and have I think to you guys. Love you gents #NoHomo Nothing could express the amount of gratitude I have for you guys being in my life. I hope we can get even closer over the years to come!

2. Family

I wish we could have family time all the time, not just on special occasions. You guys really brighten up my life in a very special and different way from the friends I love so much.

3. Those I've hurt or hindered in some way

I'm sorry. If I could do things over, I would make different/better decisions. Please forgive me - not for my sake, but for your own sake. If we can work things out, I'd appreciate that, but you're not obliged to do so because I was the perpetrator. I have no reason for some of the stuff I've done other than immaturity and intoxication. I pray for your success and the release of your potential, with or without me.

I've addressed this to groups of people rather than individuals. Not 100% sure if that's allowed.

This has been the most interesting task on the journey thus far.


Me...


My Parents
1. Thank you...
...for sacrificing all you had so I could have all I have now
...for teaching me the importance of hard work
...for not always giving me what I wanted exactly when I wanted it


My boyfriend
2. Thank you...
...for being my support system
...for reminding me that it's ok to make mistakes
...for being my hype man
...for inspiring me to be a better person

Khanyi Dhlomo
3. I want to meet you...
...so we can talk about how awesome you are and everything else in between and out of context


Honey...


1. My headmaster in High School,Mr Landman.
I want to sit down and tell him he was right. That life does get harder as you grow up, that character really is build by tribulations. That all the skinny boys in our class did eventually become fat(just as he said they would) because of lack of exercise and too much alcohol.

2. My late brother Tshepo
I wanna ask him if heaven is as we imagine it to be. I want to thank him for all the lessons his presence in my life taught me.

3.Steven Bantu Biko
The pioneer of BCM(black Conscious Movement). I owe a huge chunk of who I am and how I view the world to Black Consciousness. Even in this day and age when it's no longer fashionable. I'd take Biko out to a quite spot for lunch and listen attentively as I 21-question-him till the sun goes down.
