Just another average option

Often times new, exciting and innovative things that in their origin intended to break away from the norm end up becoming the very thing they were trying to break free from. The alternatives to taxis, hotels and old media have ended up becoming like their predecessors. And if they haven't become like their predecessors (or … Continue reading Just another average option →

Stepping back from what you think you want

There is often a lot of pressure to know what we want and then to go for it. We're made to feel as though we should be go, go, go, otherwise we're seen to just be lazy or wasting time. And often this societal pressure leads to us chasing after things we're not even sure … Continue reading Stepping back from what you think you want →

Open to exploring

Who you are does not have to be so rigid that you force yourself to be defined by ticking several boxes and sticking to them. You can be one thing today and another thing next week. So often we go through life trying to find ourselves and figure out who we are so that we … Continue reading Open to exploring →

Made up systems

The way your world operates would be quite different if you lived in another period or in another country. You'd be living a life made up of slightly or even totally different systems to the ones you currently know. That's something that may have crossed your mind multiple times. But, do you ever take it … Continue reading Made up systems →

Necessary regulations

Sometimes it can feel like regulations don't give us the freedom that we desire. Then suddenly, when there's chaos we call out for the need to be regulated. The truth is we only want to be regulated when it suits us and that usually corresponds with our safety. What's the need for rules when no … Continue reading Necessary regulations →

The simple life

I recently came across a short story that got me thinking about the way that we live. The gist of the story was that other people will try to convince us that instead of living a simple life that we are happy with now, we should be working hard so that we can live a … Continue reading The simple life →

Figuring out what you want

We often get caught up in expectations of the way things should be. But in many cases we're simply taking on the expectations of others. When you're surrounded by people living a certain type of way, you're less likely to trust a path that leads to a different life. The reason for this is nobody … Continue reading Figuring out what you want →

Knowing when to break the rules

There's a well known phrase that says 'Rules were made to be broken'. In many cases I don't agree, rules are put in place to create boundaries, keep us safe and so on. But in some cases rules can cause us more harm than good, disadvantage the minority and are for the benefit of things … Continue reading Knowing when to break the rules →

Rest, reset and refresh

If you go through a period of stress or anxiety, something that can work wonders is taking a break. It might seem counter productive and you might feel like the better thing to do is pull yourself deeper into what ever has gotten you off balance. But further exposing yourself to thing that isn't making … Continue reading Rest, reset and refresh →

In an ideal world

That's a phrase often used when you're in a defeated mindset. It is often followed by something that we don't think is possible. e.g. In an ideal world we would be able to overcome these injustices. If in an ideal world us as society, as humanity would be able to overcome the injustices then why … Continue reading In an ideal world →

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.
