So this hasn't hasn't happened before and I'm not sure how I feel about it. For the first time since I started daily blogging I missed my 7.15am posting time. I thought I had something scheduled but it turns out I was wrong. But maybe I'll use this little slip up as a point of … Continue reading 7.15am
Easier done than said
Over the past month or so I've been thinking about how much time I spend on social media in comparison to how much I get out of it. The end result was logging out of twitter and a week or so later I deleted the app from my phone. The only time I use it … Continue reading Easier done than said
The importance of a helping hand
With age I've come to understand the importance of a helping hand. I think it was the words 'everybody needs a hand to hold, to pick you up when you fall' from the song If you lean on me by California Dreams. The song was about being there to support the person you care about. … Continue reading The importance of a helping hand
Falling behind
In a matter of weeks I went from scheduling posts a week in advance to throwing something together at 10.30pm the night before. I was glad that I had the willingness to still try and not just give up and miss a day because I wasn't as organised as I'd like to be. The simple … Continue reading Falling behind
When a fan reads a review
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.

Or is it time to relax and recharge but you actually look forward to going back. Career happiness … Continue reading Work break
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
It’s not jealousy
I used to think that I was jealous of people online because they had more than I did. More money, more friends, more clothes, more holidays, longer hair etc. I used to think that I wanted what they had or that I wanted a life more like theirs. But that isn't the case, the truth … Continue reading It’s not jealousy
