Spending time on your interests

Outside of all the things you're obligated or committed to do, how much time do you spend on your interests? It's easy to be dedicated to your career because doing so often comes with rewards like praise, promotions and a pay rise. It's easy to spend time on your 'side hustle' because doing so will … Continue reading Spending time on your interests →

The importance of Sundays

I could probably write a book on what Sundays mean to me and how I spend them. This all came about after I started working full-time. Sundays were for ironing my clothes, preparing outfits for the week ahead and doing my hair whilst catching up with online classes. Overtime Sundays have also become a day … Continue reading The importance of Sundays →

Spending time on the things you care about

Something we can consider to be true is that, you don't really know how hard you can work or how much effort you can put into something until you find what you care about. You can spend a large chunck of your life thinking that you've given your full effort or gone above and beyond. … Continue reading Spending time on the things you care about →

With an open mind

That thing that you're not interested in, that you don't think is for you, it might be one day. It takes time for the mind to open up to things, especially when they're different or new. This could apply to the music you listen to, shows you watch or even the food that you eat. … Continue reading With an open mind →

Finding joy in the things we love

I've been writing a little different lately and trying to figure out the best kind of things to share during this time. My aim is to be relevant but whilst still maintaining my usual style and core themes. I've been thinking a lot about science, history, people and fear. From that I've had so many … Continue reading Finding joy in the things we love →

Baseline Busy

I remember a time when I had one of those 'What did you get up to at the weekend?' conversation. I reeled of a few things but overall I felt like I hadn't gotten up to much. However, to my surprise the person I was in conversation with thought that my weekend was actually a busy … Continue reading Baseline Busy →

Try something new

I'm a blogger/writer and even though I consider that to be creative, I do it so often that it doesn't always feel that way. That is the reason that I see great significance in experimenting with my writing. Outside of my 2 blogs I write poetry, occasionally journal and have a notebook dedicated to writing … Continue reading Try something new →

Commitment issues and perfection

Maybe the truth is that I find it hard to commit to what I love doing because not so deep down in the back of my mind I don't think I'm actually good at it. It's easy to do things when you don't really care but when you do care then not being totally perfect … Continue reading Commitment issues and perfection →

  • A drip and a splash
  • Where to start?
  • Worth looking back on
What I love about writing on thedailygemm is that I can look back and remember the inspiration behind certain posts. Sometimes writing is just a way for me to work through a difficult situation, instead of getting caught up in the moment, I put the focus on finding a solution or looking at things from a different perspective. Haven't been writing on this blog lately. Instead I've been going to a weekly writing class and working on articles for something new. I love it when my most popular posts are also some of my personal favourites. September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 I that I'm able to write things that will be helpful to read months or even years later. Top posts from May last year. When I write from personal experience and it resonates, I always think, this is for us. It's for me being able to express myself and something that you can relate to.
