Did I ever think I’d constantly write about being quiet and preferring peace. In my youth I had all kinds of ideas, but no idea how to achieve them. My parents were more likely to say no than ‘why not, we will back you.’ They considered praise to be dangerous as it created arrogance. TheContinueContinue reading “Not in My Wildest Dreams”

Three Things – Better Than
The need to be ‘better than’ arises from fear of not being good enough. Even billionaires suffer from it, as witnessed with Musk and Zuckerberg. Talking about a cage fight because apparently being wildly rich and successful isn’t enough, there has to be more. In this world we judge by race, by skin colour, by gender, byContinueContinue reading “Three Things – Better Than”

The ‘sigh’ in the Room?
When you suffer from mental health issues you’re often treated like a pair of curtains. People try to be sympathetic, lose patience, and suggest that you try harder or pull yourself together. They may not use those words but it’s implicit in the chivvying up process. You can’t whip yourself together with one smart pull,ContinueContinue reading “The ‘sigh’ in the Room?”

Thinking like that can lead to a long life of believing the worst, not trusting life, and sticking with all the wrong decisions because if it isn’t possible to be happy, why bother changing anything. Might asContinueContinue reading “Happiness – Snippet”
You Are NOT Your Bank Balance
One of the little pieces of blackmail I have always ‘loved’ is that if you don’t charge enough for your work you don’t value yourself and other people won’t believe in you. That, or charging weeds out the losers. To a certain extent that is true, because some people value money in the wrong way.ContinueContinue reading “You Are NOT Your Bank Balance”
There I Am
Loud and Proud For many years I wasn’t as up-front as this, I was basically in hiding in my own life. Anxiety is the great un-doer of personality. It takes everything you think you are and changes you into something you don’t recognise. People very quickly pick up on this, and only the best keepContinueContinue reading “There I Am”
Spring
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? Hope My favourite months are springtime, all of it. The moment I see a daffodil my spirits lift and I feel renewed and hopeful. I struggle emotionally from October onwards, normally picking up in December. It’s as if my body feels the sap dropping in the trees.ContinueContinue reading “Spring”
I Want to be Cheery
I want this This world is not getting with my program of happiness, joy, peace, love, acceptance, sharing. It’s rather irritating. Okay so no one has heard of me, which is a bit of a drawback, but even so there’s nothing wrong with my plan. It means everyone is joyously happy, well fed, cared for,ContinueContinue reading “I Want to be Cheery”
