Robin Hood is infamously known as the one who 'steals from the rich to give to the poor.' He is an interesting character because he forces us to see things from a different point of view. If asked, we would probably all say that stealing is wrong but would consider it less wrong if it … Continue reading Robin Hood

The most likely scenario
When it comes to getting swept up in the future it's easy to get caught up in the worst case scenario. But it's also easy to get caught up in the ideal scenario. However, more often than not neither of them come true. The outcome ends up being what I'd call the most likely scenario, … Continue reading The most likely scenario
Everyday is like yesterday
When you think about the days that have passed and the days that are to come, does it all roll into one? Does today feel like yesterday? Will tomorrow be different to today? Sometimes, without you even realising you'll find your life has become a blur of sameness. You do the same thing each day … Continue reading Everyday is like yesterday
Does privilege negate hard work?
Privilege is a complex thing. I think the reason that so many people have a hard time accepting their privilege is because they feel like it negates their hard work. They're not comfortable with the realisation that if it wasn't for certain things about them, they would have experienced life very differently. More often than … Continue reading Does privilege negate hard work?

Who you are and who you want to be
Through discovering the kind of person that I want to become I've learnt a lot about who I am. It's interesting to observe yourself and how you interact with others. Are you kind to yourself, what are your relationships like, how do you show up in different situations. When you uncover the things you need … Continue reading Who you are and who you want to be
I’d prefer the opposite
I'm posing the question of why we sometimes end up saying yes instead of no, or no instead of yes. It's related to fear, the root of a whole lotta life hassles. You say yes to something you don't want to do because you're a people pleaser, you don't want to disappoint the person and … Continue reading I’d prefer the opposite
What do you know about you?
I think it’s important to get to know yourself. Not just on a surface level but right down deep to the core. Not just your likes and dislikes but your beliefs and why you do the things you do. Something I’ve always focused on is behaviour. When you find yourself doing and saying things or … Continue reading What do you know about you?
Fictional risk
