may we find comfort in letting go whilst holding on

We don’t need to compare our trauma

Someone will always have it worse than you. Someone will always have it better. Some problems can have worse consequences. Some problems may barely be a problem in someone else’s eyes.

But it isn’t about someone else’s opinions on your struggles. It’s yours. You’re allowed to find life hard even if on the outside it looks like everything is ‘fine’. Life is allowed to suck whatever your…

The word’s I like to live by:

‘Go hard or go home’ – or if I want to sing it ‘we go big or we go back home’ (bonus points for whoever knows what song that is!). Whatever you are doing, there is no point in doing it half-arsed. Even if it’s something you might not really want to be doing, like cleaning the glass shelves at work or the assignment for the module you hate at school. Give it your best shot. Do it properly. Do it…

Kindness – being kind to each other costs nothing and will always make a difference. In a world full of war and hate, just be kind.

Equality – there is nothing complicated about equality. Every person deserves a fair chance at life; we all deserve the same fair chance. ‘No two leaves are alike, and yet there is no antagonism between them or between the brances on whcih they grow.’

What is the view from your window right now?

I can see two other houses. Houses which are someone else’s home. I imagine how they’ve decorated them; is each room immacuately clean; are the minimalistic or do they have clutter everywhere. I like going through houses on right move, mainly for inspiration for Sim builds, but also to look inside houses that I have walked or driven by a thousand times. I guess you could…

I just read the Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck

Life isn’t about not caring. It’s about choosing what is worth caring about, and what isn’t. What is worth killing yourself over, and what doesn’t matter.

The things you value, are the things you care about. And if you focus only on caring about your values, you’ll get to give so much more of your time and energy into those things. Instead of giving 10% to a thousand things, you can give 90%…

Why did I change my mind?

Why did I change my mind? Have I made the right choice?

The second question is what is running through my head as I scroll through social media instead of completing the notes I’ve been trying to make since 9am. Which then leads back to the first question: why did I change my mind?

If you asked 18/19 year old me, whether I wanted to go to University. The answer was no. It was difficult…

All Bodies Are Good Bodies

I was talking with my mother about the level of body dysmorphia in young children/pre-teens (we were specifically talking about girls, however I am fully aware that boys also suffer just as much). She said how it is much worse for kids nowadays with the availability of social media and the constant stream of ‘perfect’ bodies.

I wasn’t sure if I agreed with her and it wasn’t me saying ‘well…
