what exactly is original thought??


I was recently thinking about my love for writing and languages and it dawned on me.. is there anything such as original thought? If certain words have specific meanings and connotations to them then who’s to say that our opinions are different from one another. For instance, the word “whore” has negative connotations to it. If I describe someone as a whore to a friend of mine then that immediately defines them, what if my friend sees that person and does not think that whore is the right word to describe the person? Words create our opinions and we cannot really have a thought without language. If we all associate a specific word with one specific thing, then one cannot really say that anyone’s opinions differ. Am I talking utter nonsense? Think about it.. all opinions and attitudes are based on language and experience. how we interpret those experiences determine our opinions towards certain situations. could it be that we believe that our perceptions are reality? how do we know whats real if we all share the same world, but live it differently?

Henry Holland x Mr Price


London based designer Henry Holland arrived in Durban not so long ago to launch his new t-shirts that were designed for mr price recently. Henry Holland worked in association with the Red Cap Foundation and R10 of every T-shirt goes to charity. Mr price held a sweet event along with Mr Holland himself and gave us a sneak peak of his latest designs. It looks like Mr Price has really placed a good footing in the fashion industry as Holland is not the only designer who has designed for Mr Price. Model turned designer turned actress, Agyness Deyn designed a small collection for Mr Price not so long ago. Mr Price has now become trendier and bolder in terms of their look and hopefully there are more collaborations on the way. Check out Henry Hollands T-shirts below :) all shirts available at Mr Price!
