Shitty people

After an incident this week, someone said to me “they are just shitty people”.  I realised; People aren’t shitty.  Sometimes they just do shitty things.  Which is a result of a lack of love in their lives.  If you come across a “shitty” person, I challenge you to meet them with love and kindness.  And … Continue reading →

Day: 9 – if you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

From years ago, I always wanted to be a band manager – for I guess some obvious reasons. But I have never tried to pursue looking into it, because truthfully I don’t know the first thing about what I would need to do to become a band manager; and secondly, I have a big feeling … Continue reading →

Sign your name; help save lives.

I know my blog doesn’t reach a great deal of followers, and that’s fine. But I really want to stress the awareness I want to help create about depression. For those of you that follow me regularly or semi-regularly, you would have remembered a post about an optimist with depression after I heard about the … Continue reading →

Power to the Peaceful

In search of a definition for “power to the peaceful”, I came across a site that had a bunch of different people’s thoughts and ideas on what it means to them. This was my favourite. POWER TO THE PEACEFUL by Gemma Boyd “Power to the people who speak Power to the people who listen Power … Continue reading →

Anni-veg-sary

It’s been a year! Congratulations to me for being a vegetarian a whole year*! *Ok, well not completely. And I’m unsure of the specific date, but I do remember this much; that we went out to dinner for my mum’s birthday on the 29th last year, and I ordered a vego meal with a few … Continue reading →

Vanuatu – the happiest country

It’s images like these that are the reason that Vanuatu has been named ‘the happiest country’ multiple times. Everyone who has ever lived there, or even has just visited, would know that even without much, these people are happy. And now, even after losing almost everything in Cyclone Pam, they continue to have smiles on … Continue reading →

It feels good to be kind

Parking at uni at the moment is ridiculous. The free car park area is full before 9am most days (!) so I have ended up parking in the paid parking section which is stupid expensive for poor uni students. Today I left home a good hour before I did last week, only to get caught … Continue reading →

The glitz and glamour of the Melbourne Cup*

*Please note, this is sarcasm. “The race that stops the nation.”  Now that I reside in Melbourne, I, like every other Victorian, had the day off due to today’s big race. So, while I spent most of my day reading books and writing my essay, I was also drawn to the horror that is the … Continue reading →

Your Loss – Not Mine

I find the notion behind saying “it’s your loss not mine” to be a very hurtful one. For example, if someone said to me after a discussion which was resulting in a potential loss of friendship/relationship between us that this was “your loss and not mine”, it is as if I would be the one to … Continue reading →

Giving up my belief in karma – but not in a bad way

I’ve always been a big believer in karma: you get what you give. While I still (somewhat) wish to believe in this for the goodness sake of it, for example: you do a good deed, you get something good in return (however, often in an entirely different context or from a different person.) But recently … Continue reading →

The ONE THING I don’t like about being a vego

If you have been following my blog a little bit, you would have come across my many reasons to become a vegan/vegetarian. (If not, please refer to an earlier post.) As the video on that post explains to a tee all of my reasons for my new-found beliefs, there is one thing that troubles me … Continue reading →

Why become a vegan you ask?

Earlier tonight a friend sent me a link to a debate based on why animals should be taken off menus, which was great. And after I finished watching it, I went on a bit of a YouTube browse and came across this guy Gary Yourofsky‘s lecture, and OH  MY GOD he is amazing! He completely refers … 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 →
