You know that feeling when you’re itching to write something, something good, but every attempt that you make just causes you to shudder and cringe with disgust whenever you read it back? I’m definitely going through one of those phases right now: a.k.a. writer’s block. Typically I’d say that my posts tend to write themselves. I’ll be sitting … More Writer’s Block
So I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while now: are star signs trustworthy? I know that it’s a huge generalisation to make but in my experience people tend to possess certain character traits depending on their respective zodiac signs. For instance, Leos are usually assertive, Scorpios are known to be passionate, Cancerians are notorious for their emotional tendencies, etc etc. And I … More Horoscopes
I love people who can make snap decisions. People who take no longer than five minutes to decide where they want to eat and what they want to order off the menu. People who can pick one movie out of a mountainous pile of DVDs. People who can take a quick peek at their diaries … More Bish, Bash, Bosh
Once upon a time Albert Einstein proclaimed that “the world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything”. And quite rightly said; silence is an action too. However, many of us confuse being ‘the silent person’ with being ‘the good person’. By remaining silent we often convince ourselves that … More Express Yourself
Over the last few years social media has become such a paramount part of people’s lives, particularly in the case of twenty-something year olds. I was chatting to this guy the other day, he must’ve been about 24, so not much older than me. ‘Have you got Snapchat?’ he asked. Nope. ‘Instagram?’ Nope. ‘Twitter?’ Nope. … More Social Media
Talking to a friend yesturday I realised something, while it’s no secret that I’m stubborn, I’m also teachable: walking-talking oxymoron at your service 😀 Yes I’m an opinionated person, but whenever someone with a contrasting viewpoint takes the time to sit down and have a discussion with me I’m all ears, genuinely! Because believe it … More Teachable
Isn’t it mind-boggling when you take a second to contemplate just how multifaceted we are as people? Have you ever thought about the way in which we unwittingly switch character roles when we’re in the presence of different people? For example the persona that you maintain when you’re around your family will differ to the persona that you … More Multifaceted
Life is filled with what ifs: they’re not quite regrets, more like hypothetical scenarios that play out in our minds, never actually reaching a conclusion and thereby causing our anxiety levels to go through the roof…so arguably worse than regrets! Each and every one of us could waste entire days on end contemplating the what ifs … More What-Ifs
All in all last year was a pretty good year for me; I secured two promotions at work, saved a decent amount of money which I’m always adding to, had an insane trip to Punjab with family and a fun holiday to Rome with friends, got addicted to The Mindy Project and Game of Thrones and … More If Not Now, When?
Today I had one of those reflective days, my mum and I were sorting through old photos and I found myself being consumed by a familiar wave of nostalgia. I started reminiscing about my childhood and just how different my youth was compared to that of my younger cousins and nephews and nieces who would all be … More Nineties Nostalgia
