Hello readers! Sorry about not posting last week, I'm on my Easter break from college and I'm enjoying two weeks off in Shetland. I've also had a lot of big life decisions to think about over the past few weeks which I've not felt ready to talk about yet. I know the direction that my … Continue reading Lil’ Life Update
I watched a video recently about Lil Xan, a rapper from California who has been very candid about his drug abuse. In the past, he was very reliant upon benzodiazepines and opioids but he is supposedly clean or becoming clean now - although this has been disputed by many. There was one part of the … Continue reading The Downside Of Medication As First Line Treatment For Anxiety + Depression
I only have two steps left on my 12 step journey to self-esteem growth, which is insane! I can't believe this - considering I've done two posts on nearly every step. A part of me is grieving its approaching end. It echoes the wave of emotion I've felt when a set of counselling sessions comes … Continue reading Judgement, Irritability + Closing Off – No, I’m Not Perfect!
Today's post was supposed to be on self forgiveness but I got heavily inspired to write on this topic instead. I'm not making a post about alcohol to bash those who indulge in it. After all, in some ways I love alcohol. I love being tipsy, I love partying, I love dancing. I even love … Continue reading Why I Don’t (Usually) Drink Alcohol
An update on creativity is much overdue! Although I still haven't uploaded a new song in a few months, I have been writing them. And something I've noticed lately is that my songwriting is becoming increasingly reflective of my spiritual practice. I've always strived for honesty and vulnerability in my songwriting but I thought that … Continue reading Creativity + Productivity Update #3
I've wanted to write this post for a while. I said I would write about the sexually-charged aspect of enmeshment when I wrote my first post on this topic - Enmeshment + Codependency: A Tangled Web - but it's difficult because I'm embarrassed and ashamed. Is it possible to isolate the idea of sexuality from the term … Continue reading Enmeshment – Seductive Behaviour
Many people think that if you've had a particularly troubling childhood and can learn from it, it'll allow you to be confident in your style of parenting and child-rearing. I don't really feel this way. On the contrary, I am terrified of having children. I like to think that I am always growing in self-awareness … Continue reading Thoughts On… Parenting + Forgiveness
"I've started to realise that everyone's afraid. From the people who speed past red lights to people who complain endlessly. Scared of not having enough, scared of not being enough. Scared of loneliness, scared of isolation. Scared of death, of running out of time. Scared of suffering, scared of rejection. And in this way we … Continue reading Thoughts On… A Week of Self Determination
I think that determination can be most easily described as persevering even when you don't want to. In this way, it's tied to the concept of discipline. And I think that the reason a lot of us struggle with determination and discipline is because we don't believe we'll achieve that which we're striving for - … Continue reading Self Determination – Setting Intentions
...for the lack of posts the past 2 weeks! I have been oddly social and have had no time! I will be back up and running next week. 🙂
