Why are we so desensitized to violence?
What is it about the blood and guts that attracts us to a movie? The car chases and explosions, the death and the torture… We enjoy books that detail the goriest parts of the human experience and churn our stomachs with the most horrendous stories, usually with the loveable main character coming out victorious and making it all worth-while. We watch the horrific videos of animal slaughter and…

Learning acceptance and finding peace.
When you’re caught up in the midst of something good it’s easy to find yourself wishing it will last forever, so much so you consciously try to control the situation, often unknowingly assisting its demise. Self-fulfilling prophecies are everyone’s worst enemy, they operate by bringing our worst fears into reality, but how can we avoid the falling into their trap?
Even if you don’t think you do;…

Taking responsibility for your mental health.
People still tend to draw back from conversations about mental health, unless they’re a psychology student or have had issues with their own crazy brain – it’s not always a subject people are comfortable talking about. Mental health is a bit like sexuality, if you’re not comfortable talking about it – you’re probably not all that confident in your own…
I read an article a few days ago entitled;…

Unhealthy attachments and how to break them.
We all have them, we’ve all been with someone who has them; unhealthy attachments are uncomfortably familiar in today’s society and we’ve got a long way to go before truly being able to combat them all successfully. As individuals, the things we can become sub-consciously dependent on or attached to go largely unnoticed. Negative behaviors, fast foods, TV and harmful substances are just a few…

What’s the beef with flags?
Do you see this craziness? This chaos of mis-matching shape and colour? Imagine on the next Apollo mission to one of the moons of Jupiter, American astronauts land with all their gear and billion dollar rocket ships, only to be met by a bunch of Aliens, also planting their flag and declaring that particular moon their property. This is how that conversation would go: Alien: “So what flag is…

Are you in a toxic relationship?
If you had to put yourself on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being you at your most lethargic, depressed and irritable, and 10 being at your most chirpy, outgoing and fun – where would you be? Where were you on that scale during your last relationship, or before the relationship you’re in now? Where you happier/more depressed? Did you have low energy or where you more energetic and ambitious? What was…

So I’m designing some clothes… For stoners…
Well, that’s not actually how it started. A few years ago on Mother’s Day I created a brand called Majestic Wolf with the aim of selling handmade jewellery and clothing. With this idea, I then delved straight into learning about the business world, taking notes and writing plans, I brought books and watched endless tutorials and quite frankly gave myself anxiety. The business world is a scary…

What’s wrong with weed? Probably only our opinions…
There’s quite a lot of stigma surrounding the little green plant we’ve all come to know and love, because let’s be honest; we all know someone who fits into that shaggy doo category, and we all feel a certain type of way about him. That lazy, tracksuit wearing, government funded pothead that sits around all day doing nothing with his life apart from talking to a dog and solving mysteries, yeah.…

So you wanna talk to the dead?
I did too, ever since my Grandmother died when I was 11 I’ve been wondering how it’s possible to make contact with the dead. They make it look so easy in films, you just sit around a round table holding hands with the lights off and spirits come through, right? Well, as it turned out, no. Before my mothers father died I asked him to do me a favour. “When you die, if you can come back, can you…

Starting to connect with your higher power…
Your chakra’s are invisible energy centres throughout and around your body. The main seven go from the top of your head to the root of your spine and are commonly referred to as the Kundalini. From the bottom up they are known as; The Root chakra, Sacral chakra, Solar plexus chakra, The Heart chakra, Throat chakra, Third eye chakra and Crown chakra. Each chakra is a vortex, sucking in and pushing…

Tattoo culture. We’re not all criminals I swear…
I was pretty young when I first told my mother I wanted tattoos. Her response was always the same, a look of disapproval and the words ‘only criminals get tattoos. They make you look dirty.’ But it never swayed me. I used to come home from school with gel pen and biro designs half way up my arm, at one point I was even decorating half the kids in my class with pink and green bows on their thumbs…

A break down of the real deal. Why are we so separated?
My friend said to me recently; “I think you’re secretly a little bit racist.” To which I cackled in a truly menacing way, looking him deep in the eyes and replied; “I am.” Of course we were joking, but it sparked a rather interesting conversation about things like tribe mentality… Most of my family and the people I grew up with on my mothers side are what the English lovingly refer to as ‘brown…

Being mum in the world today…
My world is really just myself and my daughter, and to be honest I think we’re both happier that way. Everything else is just kind of background noise… Neither of us are really what you’d call a ‘people person’, we’re both very introverted and independent and we tend to get more done when it’s just us girls. Since her father moved out before she turned one it’s been a fast ride… We’ve moved house…

“The child who isn’t embraced by the village, will burn it down to feel it’s warmth…”
I read this African proverb earlier today and it really struck a chord with me for two reasons, the first being that I have a child – so anything that talks about children I tend to take a minute to think about and compare to my own beliefs or the way I raise my daughter. The second reason being that I remember being that child that burnt down the village – so to speak… They say we repeat the…

Gun Violence and America. Here’s you’re dang problem…
(Don’t panic, it’s only a cello-tape gun!) By now we’ve all heard about the mass shootings America’s been having for some time, the most recent one being Parkland Florida leaving 17 people dead, but others like Pulse nightclub have had people talking for quite a while. It seems to be very clear to everyone in the world America has a gun problem and needs some regulations. Everyone that is apart…

What do we want? Everything! When do we want it? After this nap…
It’s 13:29 on a Saturday. So far I’ve got a child ready and sent her off to her fathers, arranged two meetings, wrote 800 words of my book, argued with someone, got news of a death and had a shower. I forgot lunch though. This is basically my life… I finally get a few moments to myself and sit in my bed but I can’t relax, no. Of course not. There’s cleaning to be done! Look at my room, the bed…

What the school system should be;
Imagine going to your school and entering not just a giant building with loads of rooms, teachers and sections, but a complex of buildings and grounds with a mixture of teachers and students coming and going when it suited them. Imagine wildlife everywhere, art and music everywhere you look. Students studying their chosen subjects whenever they felt like it and joining others only when they…
