Hand on my heart I genuinely believe that expectations are the root of all evil. No really, correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t you rather have no expectations and be pleasantly surprised instead of having to experience that soul-crushing feeling when your expectations are plummeted into the ground? Expectations should be avoided at all costs, … More Expectations
Why is it always me? How do I always manage to get myself into the most bizarre situations? Ok, enough with the rhetorical questions, let me explain myself by using today as an example. So a few hours ago I was happily sitting on the train, on my way to meet a friend after work. I was minding … More I’ll Be Your Clown
Ok so this may be interpreted as a bit of a controversial post and where I’m going with it I have no clue as of right now. Usually before writing a blog post I have a logical train of thoughts in my mind. It starts with an idea, which leads on to a point/argument and … More A Grey Area
How is it that politeness and good-natured friendliness can be misconstrued so easily these days? For example, it’s somehow become the norm for people to assume that you’re secretly harbouring romantic feelings for them if you innocently hit ‘like’ on one of their social media photos, ask what they’re up to, or what their plans are for … More Over-Active Imaginations
‘How can you be so laid back?!’ Various friends of mine have asked me this question recently and it’s always whenever a certain (recently recurring) topic happens to crop up in conversation. And that’s the issue of where and how we’ll possibly meet decent guys now that we’ve all left the sociable environment of university and work … More It’ll Happen…

Sometimes it can take years to fully forgive, sometimes just a matter of days/weeks. But the duration until which it is achieved cannot be pre-empted in any way. Forgiveness works in its own time, it cannot be rushed or forced, it’s like … More Forgiveness
I know I haven’t posted anything in a couple of weeks, so I thought that it was about time for me to take a few minutes to reacquaint myself with my long-lost, dependable buddy WordPress. Now, if you’ve been following me you’ll know that I typically tend to be quite creative, light-hearted and moderately topical with my … More Broken Trust and Expectations
I guess it was inevitable. After leaving university and almost immediately securing steady 9-5 jobs, a few of my friends have already begun to mosey on down those paths sign-posted: ‘settle down’, ‘marriage’ and ‘time to get serious’, and honestly I’m happy for them. Each of them has a well-thought-out life plan and they know exactly what they want both … More Growing Up
When it comes to mainstream TV shows, racial minorities are extremely under-represented. Particularly with regards to the American dramas that my friends and I watch regularly, (90210, The Big Bang Theory, One Tree Hill, Pretty Little Liars, Desperate Housewives) there’s always an overwhelming majority of white actors holding down all of the main parts, something that … More Where’s The Racial Diversity On Mainstream TV Shows?
True friends are not people who you contact out of obligation or compulsion; they’re the people that you call out of necessity. They’re the ones who you’d never think to engage in niceties or formalities with, because it would be an insult to your friendship. True friends flash into your mind during random intervals of … More An Interpretation of True Friendship
