Seeing as the end of the year is coming up I thought i’d do a quick recap of some of my favourite photos that I’ve taken during 2015.

Reeeeeeeeeally interesting.

Self-sabotage is knowing exactly what you need to do to improve but not doing it. It’s procrastinating doing the very things that you know will make you happier. It’s waiting till things are 100% perfect till you do them, but that of course never happens. It’s remaining in the comfort zone because of the fear of failure or uneasiness of change. It’s a mindset that you may be completely unaware of until you really think about it. So think about it. Are you a prisoner of your own thoughts? If you are, take responsibility and acknowledge you put yourself into that prison. But know that you have the power to free yourself.

Happy birthday to Herbert Gans! 

Art by David Moore. H/t Sociological Cinema.  And here’s the article the cartoon is referencing.

Ethnomethodology means the study of methods used by people. This approach was founded by the American sociologist Harold Garfinkel (1967). He argues that members of society assume that the social world is ordered and makes sense. However, this order and sense may not actually exist. Instead it may be constructed to make the social world appear knowable, reasonable and understandable. Follow this link to find a breaching experiment on a grand scale

The construction of ‘home’ as a woman’s place has, moreover, carried through into those views of place itself as a source of stability, reliability and authenticity. Such views of place, which reverberate with nostalgia for something lost, are coded female. Home is where the heart is (if you happen to have the spatial mobility to have left) and where the woman (mother, lover-to-whom-you-will-one-day-return).

The Crisis of Credit Visualized (x)

The Short and Simple Story of the Credit Crisis

Definitely recommend because it gives you some insight into the inner workings of credit, mortgages, and the 2008 recession.

It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past.

Studies show that women apologize more than men, often for perfectly reasonable acts like, you know, taking up space. 

So watch this Pantene commercial here to inspire you to stop saying sorry for no reason.

i’ve been trying to do this - it’s not easy, but it’s WORTH IT

[audrey-17]

It bothers me how much of an ingrained habit this has become for me.

all i want is a partner who is way out of my league but thinks that i’m way out of their league and we’ll live together in perfect confused harmony with a dog

Everything you want is coming. Relax and let the universe pick up the timing and the way. You just need to trust that what you want is coming, and watch how fast it comes.

When it feels scary to jump, that’s exactly when you jump. Otherwise you end up staying the same place your whole life. And that I can’t do.
