Never Mind

When I realised as a child That I was always going to be wrong I didn’t think ‘never mind’ I just felt hurt When I wasn’t allowed to go to university And those hopes and dreams were stopped I didn’t think it then either I just felt lost Through decades of hurts That never neededContinueContinue reading “Never Mind”

Creating Happiness

Sometimes happiness arrives on a sunbeam, seemingly out of nowhere, and unexpected joy takes over our lives. Other times life is so challenging we wouldn’t recognise happiness if the sunbeam smacked us straight between the eyes! Imagine that! Drowning in focus It sounds like an urban myth but it’s actually true, that what your focusContinueContinue reading “Creating Happiness”

TIWIKA16

Weird title I know. But in line with trying out different styles I thought I’d write about a few things that it would be helpful to have known when I was 16. In future there will be a subject title followed by that strange combination of letters and numbers. Things I wish I’d known atContinueContinue reading “TIWIKA16”

Thinking About Beauty

This depends entirely on what you choose to behold. Those who believe in the best, seek the best, and see the best. Those who distrust the process of life, people, and the existence of happiness will subconsciously seek proof that they’re right. It’s all about attitude, perception, beliefs, and choices. We make those choices everyContinueContinue reading “Thinking About Beauty”

Annoyingly Helpful?

Love it I’m a person who can’t walk past a problem, if anyone tells me that they’re not happy I’m in there like a ninja, using every skill I’ve ever learned, every ability and piece of training I’ve ever had, and asking for all possible help and guidance. Anything I can do to help thatContinueContinue reading “Annoyingly Helpful?”

Morning Human

I found this on social media this morning and thought how true it is. We are the product of our entire experience and it changes us in so many ways. Sometimes the effect is positive, sometimes not. Sometimes it takes time to encompass past events and allow them to either fade or bring out theContinueContinue reading “Morning Human”

Everything

I have a strong personal belief when it comes to race, skin colour, gender, religion, cultural beliefs. It’s simply that as soul we are atoms who have formed a pattern called soul, which has manifested here as all things over time. I believe that the multi genders represent soul evolution where humans are being bornContinueContinue reading “Everything”

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?”

Happiness – Snippet

People will tell you that happiness isn’t possible, don’t believe them, that will only make you miserable too. 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”
