Mindfulness
Ever thought about stopping? Pressing pause on life, and just being in the moment? Unfortunately as much as we would like to, we can’t actually stop time, and we cannot slow down the fast paced lives we lead. However, we can instead train ourselves to stop and just be in the moment.
Whenever people talk about meditation and mindfulness we often think that it’s a load of spiritual silliness, but…

Unpopular opinion about social media
I often wonder about the impact that social media has on us. Whilst it gives us the opportunity to connect immediately with our friends, family and the wider world, I sometimes worry that I become so swept up in everyone else’s business that I can easily forget to deal with my own life. Don’t get me wrong, I love being just a message away from my mates, but I can’t be the only one who finds that…

Labels
It has been a crazy busy week, and since it is Brighton pride this weekend I thought it might be interesting to do a post on labels.
As humans, we like to fit ourselves into little boxes, whether they are the boxes within our heads, our personality types from a test, our sexuality, nationality or even our intelligence. It’s incredibly easy for us to squeeze ourself into box after box, trying on…

The impact of our choices on the world
The impact of our choices on the world
It’s been a longer break than expected, but I’ve decided it’s time to rekindle my regular blog posts; if for no other reason than it gives me time to reflect on my week and the things I’ve noticed and learned. I can also feel my fingers beginning to get rusty, as the lack of uni routine and the enjoyment of sun is leaving me no chance to put my writing out into the world as much. But now that…

Decision Making
Next week is going to be my last blog post for a while. I’m going to have a hiatus to focus on my creative writing and start seriously implementing the disciplines I’ve been writing about for the last five months into my own life.
This week, following on from the unconscious living post, I want to write about making decisions. It’s something that I’ve always struggled with, and while I can blame…

Time, the universe, and unconscious living.
Time, the universe, and unconscious living.
Since I am incredibly snowed under with uni work and other boring adminy stuff, todays post will be relatively short. However large the topic of time may be, I desperately need to keep this short so I can get back to writing poems about dryads and ghosts.
Time flies when we live in a world so fast paced, that if we don’t stop to reflect on ourselves, we end up floating through the months in a…

Judgement
I sometimes like to ponder big questions that no one has the answers to, such as why humans are so bent on causing havoc in this beautiful world. I like to think that we are innately seeking to do good, however, we have just ended up hating each other and fighting over trivial matters for no reason at all. We call ourselves ‘civilised’ beings, but we are not civil to one another. Instead, we are…

How to go about living your best life
How to go about living your best life
There’s a lot of pressure in our lives. We have a short time on the planet where we are constantly bombarded by consumerism, while still trying to ‘make the most of it.’ Unless we stop to think about it, life just seems to pass us by and before we know it we are drifting along in our own little stupor, constantly checking our phones and binge-watching TV. Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about…

Can we Ever Stop Killing the Planet?
Can we Ever Stop Killing the Planet?
Following on from last week’s post about how to not fall apart from the overwhelming pain in the world, I thought I’d do another post about how we can give back to the Earth instead of constantly draining her resources. Sometimes, I am astounded about how people can go on living their lives, taking from the Earth and not even thinking about it. Did you know that 18 tonnes of litter gets dumped in…

How to not get bogged down with all the crappiness in the world…
Sometimes the world feels so overwhelmingly awful that it is difficult to carry on with our seemingly insignificant lives. There is so much pain and suffering, that it can sometimes be difficult to filter out the bad and focus on the good. But we can, and in fact we have to, otherwise we will just end up falling apart. I’ve often expressed my overwhelming helplessness about the world we live in…

I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin (via books-n-quotes)
I only like playing with words, only dreaming, but, do you know, what I really want is that you should all go to hell. That is what I want.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, from Selected Works; “Notes from the Underground,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
Honest Posters of Our Relationship with Technology
Designer Ajit Johnson, living in England, has imagined a series of posters called “#This_Generation”. With honesty, the posters show anecdotes linked to our daily relationship with technology and social networks.
“Can’t work a computer to it’s full potential or send an email, proceeds to ask someone a 1/3 to ½ their age for help.” #LastGeneration
“Can’t accept the fact that meaningful relationships can be made online, struggles to respect and accept said relationships.” #LastGeneration
“Has drained and abused the Earth for it’s resources, and believes that a young person would choose internet over survival. Expects us to survive and solve the problems they have created.“ #LastGeneration
“Does not understand that phones are meant for communication, also does not understand that the average semester lasts 4 months.” #LastGeneration
“Refuses to give proper sex education, shames the younger generation for not knowing.” #Last Generation
“Does not understand how social media works and that not deleting/avoiding your recent ex online is just as bad as seeing them every day.” #LastGeneration
“Also texts and drives, pretends that they are not responsible for any accidents caused by their idiot mistakes.” #LastGeneration
“Shames teenagers for taking photos of themselves that make them feel positive about their physical image, probably can’t work the camera themselves.]” #LastGeneation
“Believes that a person’s way of texting with people they are comfortable with is a sign of their intelligence level, texts just as bad, if not worse.” #LastGeneration
“Believes our generation are internet druggies, does not even acknowledge our reasons for being online, or what we do online.” #LastGeneration
“Has caused wars, economic failures, environmental disasters, perpetuated hate based on gender/race/sexuality/religion [or lack of]/and more, pretends that the younger generation is the problem.” #LastGeneration
