Taking space is something we're often reluctant to do. It could be space from a person, a habit or even just social media. For me the purpose of space is to gain clarity. It's difficult to get that when you're in the situation which is why it is necessary to remove yourself. At first you … Continue reading Reasons to take space

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

Daily blogging for the reader
I think it's fair to say that more often than not, a daily blog is for the writer. The reason behind this is almost nobody reads a daily blog every single day.
