When the numbers get you down

I try not to look at the stats very often because I never want to be too attached to the numbers. Of course it feels great when the numbers are high, when you're getting lots of likes, comments and new followers. But when the numbers drop and you're not seeing as many likes or views … Continue reading When the numbers get you down →

Responding and reacting

The way you would react when you're angry, upset, frustrated or annoyed is not the same way you'd respond when you're calm and relaxed. Of course this is fairly obvious, yet how many times have you allowed your feelings to get the better of you instead of simply taking some time. What ends up happening … Continue reading Responding and reacting →

Necessary regulations

Sometimes it can feel like regulations don't give us the freedom that we desire. Then suddenly, when there's chaos we call out for the need to be regulated. The truth is we only want to be regulated when it suits us and that usually corresponds with our safety. What's the need for rules when no … Continue reading Necessary regulations →

Tackling the issue

If you know what the issue is, do something about it. You might be nervous or feel like you don't have the confidence but the issue will only persist if you don't take action.

The lovers daydream

I daydream of you and I,In a field of flowers,Laying side by side. My hand in your hand,Your skin on my skin,With nothing to hide. No words spoken,Only gazing at each other,Glad to be alive.

At your best

At you're best you are joyful, kind, considerate, a good listener, focused, playful and caring. But sometimes you're also inconsiderate, moody, a bad listener, you have your head in the clouds (as in you're distracted and not present), you're rigid and harsh. It's so easy to attach the idea of who you are to you … Continue reading At your best →

Don’t forget to ask

Sometimes we make plans that involve others without speaking to them first. You get so excited and carried away that it doesn't even occur to you to let the other person know. Instead you just assume that of course they will share your excitement. And it's not that your plans are bad but when you … Continue reading Don’t forget to ask →

Least time, most value

If you could only listen to 3 artists for the rest of your life, who would they be?
