We're tricked into believing that the quicker we go the more we are able to get done. Upon reflection this is often false. The more you rush the more you end up overwhelmed and in a flurry. You're more likely to make mistakes that set you back, to the point where it may have just … Continue reading The falsehood of rushing

Talking when it’s easy
It's easy to talk about the weather, your favourite TV show, what you had for dinner and what you got up to at the weekend. But often when it comes to topics like mental health, fears and struggles suddenly talking becomes difficult. Part of why it's so difficult is because we don't do it enough. … Continue reading Talking when it’s easy
Equally true
Something many forget to consider is that two things can be equally true without one thing being more right or better than the other. For example, sweets can taste really good whilst also being bad for you. One person can find something helpful whilst another finds it useless. You could consider a song to be … Continue reading Equally true
The misalignment of us
Most people that you choose to have in your life are chosen because your lives or you as people align in some way. It could be a similar taste in music, studying (or have studied) the same subjects, enjoying the same leisure activities, similar mindsets and worldviews or maybe you share the same aspirations. Whatever … Continue reading The misalignment of us

Often it's these kinds of things that are good in the long run but in the moment, in the short run you'd rather not bother. If it's in a work environment you'll most likely get it done because you have have … Continue reading Good in the long run
Instagram CV
If someone took a look at your instagram account, what would it show? Would it help you gain employment in the area you want to work in or is it something you have just for fun? I think that for many people, especially now with social media which is essentially a CV of sorts, you … Continue reading Instagram CV
Simple pleasures
When what you can do becomes limited you start finding pleasure in the smaller things. It's not necessarily that these things meant nothing to you before but when you get caught up in the flurry of life it can be easy to over look the little things. However, sometimes the case is that you're so … Continue reading Simple pleasures
The problem with jumping on the bandwagon
If you won't care in a few months time then maybe you shouldn't care at all. It's easy to get swept up what everyone else is doing or whatever the popular thing is at that point in time. It might even be a great cause, helping people or bringing light to something that matters. However, … Continue reading The problem with jumping on the bandwagon
