Forgive but don’t Forget

Daily Prompt: Do you hold grudges or do you believe in forgive and forget? Mahatma Gandhi said: “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.” I believe forgiveness is the key to your own peace and happiness. But that doesn’t mean you have to forget. Our experiences are what make us who … Continue reading →

Mantra 28/4/2014

This week’s mantra comes from the quote above. Supposedly it is a quote by Shakespeare, but the internet is not much of a reliable source of information most of the time, especially when it comes to quotes and sayings by famous people – or importantly – dead, famous people. Anyhow, the point remains the same no … Continue reading →

Josh Radnor – Kindness Matters

I found this piece a little while ago, and looking at the date now, I wish I had’ve seen it much earlier than I did. Nevertheless, the content is still as truthful and accurate as the day he said it and something that I wholeheartedly agree with. Josh Radnor seems like such an amazing person … Continue reading →

Oh Shit.

I seem to have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle I think. I’m either stuck in a very bad position, or I’m just coming down off an extremely great high from last night (an incredible music gig). I really hope it’s the latter and that this feeling passes by tomorrow. Please, let it … Continue reading →

Our night with a Nahko and the Franti

There are only a handful of music gigs that I have been to that I can truly say that it was incredibly phenomenal (with the exception of Splendour 2013). I mean I love live music anyway, but there are some artists who just take the cake in all aspects; musically, energetically, entertaining, vibes of the … Continue reading →

Mantra 21/4/2014

I dreamt about death last night. I’m not going to elaborate on what my dream was about exactly, but there is a reason I am telling you this in order to understand this week’s mantra. I will clarify however that it wasn’t me who died in my dream. And actually, this isn’t the first time … Continue reading →

Nobody Knows…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about any ‘Sunday night blues’. That doesn’t mean I haven’t had any though. And tonight I feel the need to post something. I’ve found the song that replicates how I’m feeling right now/this weekend/lately. It’s a bit of an oldie, but a definite goodie. I miss great … Continue reading →

Mantra 14/4/2014

This week’s mantra comes from some advice a friend gave me the other day when I told him I get anxious about space, stars and galaxies, that there is so much more out there than what we know or could ever interpret or understand, or probably even estimate! I get anxious about it because we … Continue reading →

Songs Find Me

I believe a lot of the time, that, songs find me for particular reasons at particular times of my life. For example, I’ll be listening to a radio station that I never listen to, or at a really strange time, or whatever, and I hear a song that just speaks to me. Whether the lyrics … Continue reading →

Mantra 7/4/2014

This week’s mantra comes from the lyrics of my current favourite John Butler Trio song ‘spring to come‘. This song is so smooth and flowy and I feel like it’s that perfect combination of sad, relaxed positivity. Which I guess is kinda how I have been feeling lately. So…this week I’m going to remember: ‘out … Continue reading →

Don’t Tell Me What To Do

In recent conversations with someone, I have realised how much I cannot stand people who are control freaks. I am far from being a controlling person, and I have taken a look at every single one of my friends and noticed that I don’t become friends with people who control other people, especially those that … Continue reading →

A Dream of You and Me

I found this song the other day, and while I don’t particularly like the song (no offence to the band Future Islands) but the lyrics really resonate with me for one reason or another. Feel free to check the song out if you wish but I don’t feel the lyrics fit with the tune, or … Continue reading →
