Fairytale Fever

As children, we lived in fairytale worlds. From the tales told at bedtime to the ones we created on the playground. We were carefree and happy. Somewhere along the line that changed. We stopped believing in the happily ever after. Instead opting for settlers’ satisfaction. It became easier to settle for what could be instant gratification. Rather than having the patience and the faith to wait…

Live. Love. Laugh. – No Cliché

Don’t be afraid to get excited about trivial things, the important things, and even the minute in between things. Forget the cringe of ‘oh, it’s so cliché.’ You go out there and you Live, Love and Laugh.

As humans, we are pulled towards quotes and ‘words of wisdom’. In short, it must pack a punch. It can be anything if it has meaning and provides insight into our current emotional rollercoaster. The interesting thing is that the moment we put words to paper it takes on a life of their own. What you get from it is not necessarily what it means. Chris Cornell once said that a song released into…

The Crux of a Compliment

The Crux of a Compliment

We live in a world where we celebrate love and light, and violence and hatred are no longer tolerated. Instead of singing ‘What a wonderful world’ around a campfire, there are plenty of opposing teams. A battle of opinions and thoughts if you will. One thing that surprises me is that despite the call to love harder and be kinder there is so much prejudice and judgment. A simple compliment…

Habits of Love

Mixing love and chemistry. Powerful or deadly?

It’s becoming a repetitive pattern. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Begin the search. Scatters of hearts decorate the ocean floor, an overflow of salty tears. The sky clouded with why’s. Then there’s the settling, the belief that chemistry and lasting relationships don’t walk hand in hand. So instead of living the moment, welcoming the butterflies, or the happily ever after, we opt for…

Love Letter to the Broken Heart

Love Letter to the Broken Heart

Hey you,

It’s been a while since I’ve paid attention to you. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever really focused more than 5 minutes on you. I’m sorry.

I can see you’re worn out. I know I’m partly responsible for the waves crashing in your eyes. It has always been them before you. And to some regard it always will be. You can’t help it; it’s ingrained into your system. But I solemnly vow that…

A Call to Love Louder

A Call to Love Louder

There is an old Cherokee tale of the battle of two wolves in each of us. The one good and the other evil. The one that wins is the one you choose to feed.

The Evil Wolf has gained the upper hand over the past few years. There is so much negativity (anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego)in the world.…

When darkness calls...

When darkness calls…

I’ve heard about depression, I’ve flirted with depression but lately I’ve become a captive of depression. As a person who thrives in the light this really is one experience I’d trade for pretty much any other.

You’d wake up feeling ready to seize the day and within moments a darkness will come over you. A Dementor will suck out your light and drain you of any life force you have left.

The worst…

Trapped in a prison of flaws

Trapped in a prison of flaws The battle against insecurities and dark days.

As women we sometimes experience moments of major insecurities. Our minds become prisons where we are forced to face many evils.

We see all the things we think are wrong with us. We look in a mirror and see all the flaws.

It’s like all we can think about is why we don’t deserve happiness. Why we will never be enough for anyone.

At least I think most women go through it. For me it’s happened quite…

You are exactly where you need to be

You are exactly where you need to be

Social media has been described as a lot of things but mostly it’s a platform where we get to share anything and everything with friends, family and even strangers.

In your teenage years and early twenty’s most posts and photos revolve around parties, drinking, chilling with friends and selfies…don’t hate me, it’s true.

When you get to your mid-twenties however something weird starts to happen.…

Follow your Bliss & Unlock the Universe

Follow your Bliss & Unlock the Universe

It’s crazy to think how fast time flies. We go through each day thinking we’ll get started on the big projects tomorrow. From getting fit to just basically living a better life. It’s crazy to think we continue to do this until one day we are sitting on a porch having accomplished only the bare minimum.

The scariest part is that often the overachievers and believers accomplishing the impossible…

Modern Day Villains

It’s difficult to understand why women choose to trash, judge or criticize one another. We choose to use our words as weapons instead of using them to minimize harm or help others reach their full potential.

Society has already inflicted enough hurt and created enough self-doubt through images of what “true beauty” is considered to be. A standard that most women will never be able to meet…

Less Consuming More Producing

Less Consuming More Producing

You know how you always wish you had a little more cash? And how you promise yourself you won’t spend it on unnecessary crap? Yeah, we all tell that lie.

So here’s the deal, over the last few months work has been really good for me. I’ve been taking home a lot of extra cash.

With that cash I managed to squash my student debt… WHOOP

And I’ve managed to build up a decent amount of savings to reduce…

Don't forget about you...

Don’t forget about you…

All my life I’ve tried to be the go-to person for anyone and everyone in need. When it came to my friends I broke my back, in some cases I even neglected my family life. I never saw a problem with this. And I will probably never be able to change that part of me.

On the one hand I am extremely proud of being a caring person, I love feeling the urge to help others through difficult times. On the…

Finding Forever in a Let Go Generation

Finding Forever in a Let Go Generation

Life has a funny way of handing you the impossible when you least expect it. In modern days it’s almost impossible to find something everlasting. People come and go as they please. It’s very rare to find humans who are willing to make a commitment that lasts.

We’re stuck in a fast-paced world where no one is willing to suffer through the bad to get to the good. Everybody wants constant and…

Don't be just another faceless body

Don’t be just another faceless body

Call me old fashioned for saying this but…Don’t send someone naughty selfies. I know, in the moment it might seem like a good idea. You’ve been dating for a while, you haven’t seen them in a week or two and you find yourself feeling naughty and brave. You just want to send them a little something, something to help them think of you.

Great! In that moment after the picture you feel like a…

The Story No One Read

The Story No One Read

When people look at her they see a cool, fun loving girl with a free spirit. They are drawn to her laughter and infected by her bubble of happiness. If they stay just far enough that is all they will ever see. Those who manage to breach through her walls discover something else, something much darker.

For she kept her darkness and sadness to herself, she buried it deep enough that only those who…

The Love Rant!

Can I just say that the whole concept around relationships is utter bullshit…

There are millions of posts telling you what true love is and showing you if your partner really cares for you. There are posts showing you the difference between love and lust but honestly…what the fuck do they know?

And the best part of all is that reading these articles can sometimes cause more problems than they…
