Whenever I eat an Avocado, its always the same procedure. The excitement arises as I slice it in half, the anticipation boils up inside me as I prepare it methodically, lovingly though somewhat impulsively, a bit like smoking a joint, for example. The intention is to grasp its affect and take time to attend to its sweet existence. Its got that familiar taste, soft texture and creamy flavour. I know as soon as the idea to dine on such a fruit appears as a desire in my mind, that hedonistic version of me begs like a child for this minor pleasure, reveals that I truly do appreciate its delicacy by all innocence.  Although I know before I register its progress from palm to stomach, that it will have been and gone before I can acknowledge its beauty and exoticism. I can insist that  every time I eat an Avocado that I enjoy it, but in those moments I am eating it, I am never fully present with the experience.  The second half greets me as I carefully slip the stone out of the cen

A polite notice for future investors I didn't sleep all night, and I was worried about my future accommodation arrangements, how I would afford my bills and who I had been getting involved with, these last few weeks so much, that I waited for the shop to legally sell alcohol (10am) and I ended up with a bottle of Buckfast, by chance. I took it home, and altered my state of conscience, because I didn't believe in my own capacity to cope with belittlement of greedy landlords. This day I made my own, guided by the spirit and the knowledge that I had left my old life for a reason, secure in the moment of full awareness of my own being. I am still learning to achieve this with out drugs or alcohol. I am happy to say that I have quit smoking again, and I reserve a small bottle of Vodka on my dressing table, but that is all for now. I got into the square on my mountain bike as usual, as a means of escape, something compelled me to go the the skate park at Lady Bay earlier

Is it just me, or does it seem ever more insurmountable to establish meaningful relationships with people, of both genders, vice-versa. Whether you are looking for platonic ones or romantic encounters, the possibilities appear endless. With the art of new modes of communication, there are barely any excuses to find new friends and exciting lovers. In my limited perspective of 22 years, extensive study of psychology and sociology, I have discovered an element that contributes to the meaning of life. It is purely in those that we meet, the connections that we build and the quality of the time that we spend with said company. Admittedly, this is rooted in how much we go out of our boundaries or comfort zone to be around other human beings. Religion, employment and area of habitation all play key roles in finding these counterparts to our existence. We are in essence, the people that we spend our time with. It is too permissible in the modern age to avoid relationships all together if y

My philosophy for sex and relationships. I have always sought for soul connections, personality and conversation over appearances, employment and background. Honestly, I have never really approached many men, they generally come to speak with me initially, but that might be because I look friendly and open, and I am an easy-going, spiritual person. I have discovered that Tinder has rescued the last of my mental health, before I totally deteriorated. It was like, I took the initiative to download the app on my smartphone, and have had the pleasure of speaking with a diverse assortment of gents. It has opened my eyes, for me to understand that I have been treated like dirt before, I have not been offered anything genuine, with a foundation of friendship, as opposed to a strictly sexual agenda, that is not my priority. I have allowed this to go on for too long, it was about time I came out of my shell and began to explore the possibilities of having a new boyfriend. I recommend

What is beauty? To see clearly one must encounter spiritual truth, that they should allow themselves to recognise that we all have aspects and parts of our physical bodies that we aren't so proud of, however instead of being overwhelmed and warped by images of ladies in fashion magazines and advertisements, we should carefully examine our bodies and learn to appreciate, adapt and adore our flaws more than comparatively towards marketed visuals. For example we may have an extremely distorted self esteem, due to ill-health, and the societal pressures to conform to certain aesthetic standards, even in desperate moments we may consider options such as surgery and expensive procedures to erase so-called 'blemishes' or 'imperfections' that in reality aren't what these labels entice at all. They are in fact, naturally occurring phenomena of what it means to be a human being. With that, I believe the most important element of living in the modern world is how we feel o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLQJVKP3YlM The vote is on the 23rd of June.  This is an edited extract of an assignment I had written from Uni in 2014 on the subject of devolution.  I believe it is more relevant now than it was then, and may be a useful article for people still sitting on the fence. Currently, 11% of the public are still undecided, with the majority leaning towards "Brexit". I hope this passage from my old blog will exercise the minds of young people still confused about this topic... With thousands migrating here every month in hope to welcome a fresh start, a more favourable lifestyle and therefore, achieve happiness, it has aroused disapproval by many UK born citizens. It would seem that an increasing proportion of people here in Britain believe that enough is enough. The controversial mindset that, “jobs are being stolen, state benefits are being reaped, and homes are becoming scarce” has created prejudice and propaganda against Non-UK
