I recently read a review for an album by favourite New Zealand singer and it wasn't particularly favourable. The article in summary said that the album had a few good songs and then some not so good ones inbetween. I feel like when you're a fan it's easy to almost become protective of the people … Continue reading When a fan reads a review

A simple act of nothingness
I was recently reminded that no, I do not always need to push through and continue on as normal if I'm not feeling well. I decided to take a much needed break and just rest. I lay in bed and drifted in and out of slumber, reflected on how I was feeling within myself and … Continue reading A simple act of nothingness
Deciding what matters
Here are is one of the most useful questions I ask myself when deciding what's important. Does this thing matter in the grand scheme of life and death? It might seem bleak or a little full on but sometimes we need something extreme to snap ourselves out of a cycle of unhelpful thinking. As someone … Continue reading Deciding what matters
The things that matter
I was daydreaming a few weeks ago and I had this idea about what to do with all the thoughts whirling around in my mind. Get a piece of paper. Draw a line down the middle. On one side write the title 'things that matter. On the other side write the title 'things that don't … Continue reading The things that matter

Minimum effort required
I used to think that I was the kind of person that went above and beyond, always doing more than the bare minimum. That was until I had a situation where I found myself doing the bare minimum and I realised that this was not the first time. I'd fallen into being a bare minimum … Continue reading Minimum effort required

Some things are easy and others not so much. Even though we often find ourselves wanting to drag our feet through the challenges we face because we're certain we don't want them, the truth is that from these challenges growth occurs. And I think growth is always a good thing.
No prior planning
It's very rare that I write a blog post on the spot with no prior planning and minimal editing, I'm too rigid for that. I like to have that spark of an idea come to me which spurs me on to write and luckily I get it often. I have enough thoughts and ideas to … Continue reading No prior planning
Back and forth
For almost a week now, I've been going back and forth on something I need to say. Should I do it over text or face to face? Should I just say nothing? Should I be honest or do I need to be brutally honest so they don't misinterpret what I say? Should I use NLP … Continue reading Back and forth
