I recently listened to an episode of Akimbo where a listener asked Seth about who he thought his audience was. Seth's answer was pretty wonderful. It got me thinking about my own audience, my readers, people like you. For me it's never been about appealing to a particular demographic, age, race, social class, etc. I've … Continue reading Who are my readers?

Wants and actions
There is often a gap between what we want and our actions. For example you could say that you want to be a writer but you never take up the opportunity to share your work or get feedback. Or maybe you want to move to a new city but you never look for jobs outside … Continue reading Wants and actions
The most important thing
Often in life the thing causing the most anxiety and frustration is not particularly important in the long term. If you were to assess it in the grand scheme of life and death you'd probably find that it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. We tend to get swept up in how … Continue reading The most important thing
Why learning something new is a great idea
Last year there were lots of discussions, tweets and conversations about how we're in a pandemic, you don't need to do xyz it's totally okay if all you did was survive.

Daydreams and the dream life
One of the things I enjoy writing about is the dream life. But it's more than just words it's about the kind of life I aspire to. Whilst daydreaming one night I realised that I've never really shared my dream life in great detail. One of the main reasons is, there is not one set … Continue reading Daydreams and the dream life
Does more choice make us happier?
A lot of people regularly find themselves overwhelmed. The possibilites in every area of life are growing more and more each day. There was a point in time where what you ate was limited to what you could kill and what you could grow at that time of year. On one hand having more choice … Continue reading Does more choice make us happier?
Emotional labour
When it comes to the work that you do, do you work hard? Not as in work that requires physical labour but another kind of hard work, the sort that requires you to give something of yourself. I guess it's what is known as emotional labour. So often, we refrain from exerting emotional labour because … Continue reading Emotional labour
The consumer doesn’t care
The viewer or the consumer does not have to care about what went on behind the scenes. They are there for the art not the person and I think that in some cases that's the way it should be. In other cases, like on social media, the consumer is often there for the person just … Continue reading The consumer doesn’t care
