It happens to the best of us and sometimes it's what we need. Falling off-track serves as a necessary reminder of what we've learnt or how far we've come.

A different way
When you get into the routine of doing things a certain way, it might not even occur to you that there is a different or better way of doing things. After all you have your way and it works, it's comfortable and familiar. So, what does it take for someone who is set in their ways … Continue reading A different way
Waiting for flames
I was reflecting on an old friendship recently and I realised how empty and almost meaningless it had become. I think it's difficult to let go of a friendship where the passing of time has changed the way things were. But there's only so much you can give and there's only so much you should … Continue reading Waiting for flames
A pep in your step and a smile on your face
That was me after bumping into a good friend on the way to work. A morning catch up talking about the work we do, how we spend our free time and the need for stimulation. Things have changed in the 7 years this person and I have been friends. We've grown and so have our … Continue reading A pep in your step and a smile on your face
2 Corinthians 5:17

Yet growing up and still sometimes now, I find myself caught between where I am and where I want to be. I'll blame that on the fact that I was born a … Continue reading 2 Corinthians 5:17

We‘re so convinced it's what we have to do … Continue reading People like you and people like me
What you say vs How you feel
We often say things that don't align with how we feel. Sometimes it's because we don't feel in control or we're scared to be assertive. Other times we're not even aware that we don't really feel what we are saying but the proof is in what we do. It's like if someone says they want … Continue reading What you say vs How you feel

A few days ago I had this idea to delve into a topic totally unlike anything I have written about before. I had drafted a post on gender. I thought it would be good to try writing something new but also this particular topic has been on my mind for a while. Then just days … Continue reading More of the same
Dream life and self-belief
If you could plan a day in your dream life what would it include and how much does it differ from how you currently live. Use it as a journal prompt or just something to day dream about. I've been thinking a lot about my dream life recently and there are a few things that … Continue reading Dream life and self-belief
Aspects of self
Growing up in watched a lot of TV and became really interested in characters, how we define ourselves and labels. I think that is where my interest in people, the human experience and eventually social science came from. I grew up trying to figure out who I was and what labels fit me. I was … Continue reading Aspects of self
