I hope this counts for something

I am a few days behind on this daily prompt but it says: You’ve been given the opportunity to send one message to one person you wouldn’t normally have access to (for example: the President. Kim Kardashian. A coffee grower in Ethiopia). Who’s the person you choose, and what’s the message? My message isn’t of importance … Continue reading →

Missing Pieces

Tonight I am missing the people I left behind. I left Queensland a few months ago and due to unforeseen circumstances, I left in such a hurry that I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to my friends. And tonight, I’m just realising that the fact that I didn’t get to say goodbye … Continue reading →

For a split second I nearly locked the door

I can’t sleep tonight; something a little strange, partly sad and a bit scary happened to me this evening. I am a part-time Nanny for a young family which requires me to pick up the kids from school and daycare, take them home and sometimes feed and bathe them before the parents get home from … Continue reading →

Don’t judge a book by the young couple with a child

I went to dinner with my housemates last night, and while we were on the way and had stopped at some traffic lights, a young couple with a pram and baby crossed in front of us. My housemate (who was driving) looked at them and sighed: HM: “why can’t that be me? why can’t my … Continue reading →

Coherence

Holy balls. If anyone is interested in a bit of a mind-fucking movie about realities and parallel universes, check out this movie called Coherence. It is a psychological brain twister that I can’t help but praise and want to watch over and over again to grasp the complexity of its beauty. It revolves around the philosophical … Continue reading →

Ahhhh….I heard this song a little while ago and fell in love – naturally – but I kept forgetting to post it. Maybe I forgot for a reason? Maybe subconsciously I didn’t want to post it too soon? I don’t know. Anyway, here it is now…and it is so much more beautiful the more you … Continue reading →

The Wake Up Project

About a week or so ago a friend told me about these kindness cards, so, naturally I ordered some. They were delivered in the mail a couple of days ago, and I’m super excited to begin my journey of showing the world some more kindness with the intention of paying it forward (I’m generally fairly … Continue reading →

A must *listen* video

This video has been circulating the internet since the ultra upsetting death of the legend that was Robin Williams. I have watched this video countless amount of times, and occasionally I watched it while closing my eyes and absorbing each and every word. I really encourage you to do the same because the words from … Continue reading →

I am a writer

I read something on this blog I found the other day that has been resonating in my mind ever since. “It might be human nature to feel alone in emotions and situations but…as writers we are never truly alone. Though our troubles may manifest differently, we all share the ability to take those troubles and … Continue reading →

Are you too busy?

Do you want to know what each and every human being on this earth has in common with each other? The amount of hours per day. No one is ever “too busy”, we all just have different priorities. Do what makes you happy. We are the creators of our own destiny. We are the creations … Continue reading →

Desiderata

Upon struggling with a decision I was trying to make, a dear friend told me to read this script again and to use it to help me make my decision and to stick with it once it’s made. I forgot how powerful and beautiful this piece of text is. If you want to see a … Continue reading →
