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 →

You have changed the world

You are a drop in the ocean. You are the ripple. You are a butterfly effect. You have changed so many people’s lives without even realising. You have changed the world. Think about it. If you weren’t born, every single person that you’ve been in contact with, or interacted with over however many years you’ve … Continue reading →

Yes Please

The other week a dear friend gave me this book Yes Please by Amy Poehler, and a few things really struck me throughout the book that I just wanted to share and say that I agree with, or that it made me open my eyes to see life a bit differently. This book in its entirety … Continue reading →

This one’s about Courtney

So, you remember the post I did a few weeks ago about that beautiful girl I knew through association who was lost to depression and suicide? Well, as a part of mental health week, Triple J have been discussing anxiety and depression with loads of people and all sorts of battles and ways to overcome … 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 →

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 →

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 →

peace and love

Peace and Love. Always. Never underestimate the power of love, kindness and forgiveness. Peace to all. Now and forever.

The Umbrella Girl – A Kind Stranger

Today’s daily prompt is about the kindness of strangers, asking us: When was the last time a stranger did something particularly kind, generous, or selfless for you? Tell us what happened! Well, let me tell you a little story which is actually about me being the kind stranger. Last week, as I got off the train … 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 →
