I guess a blog can be many things. It can be a source of useful and entertaining information for the public, or it can be a very intimate diary of events of an individual's life. When I began this blog, I intended on it being a bit of both. Most of all, I wanted it to be fun, with the hope that it would act as a device to reach out to unassuming browsers of the internet. Maybe it has succeeded in doing just that. Now I wonder what else I can do with my writing. I really do look on the bright side of life; when my family or a friend of mine is in a crisis, I tend to reflect on those occurrences with empathy and as much understanding as I can possibly conceive. I have this ability, or disability, depending on your level of optimism, that gives me what I believe to be extra sensory perceptive qualities. So lately, I have found my life crashing before my eyes, everything I built and stressed over to behold, has washed away, been taken from my grasp, as well as my sanity. The...

I guess I may have to write something here, do I not? Having little notifications popping up intermittently in my emails and Facebook, with concern as to why I hadn't posted again since, well, it will almost have been a whole month now! I'm not going to hold back what I am about to reveal. I am sharing this information on my blog for a couple of reasons. 1) It may enlighten someone else, for them to know that they are never alone, no matter how difficult things have become, for I have surely been there. 2) Just because I am from an affluent area, fairly well educated and would appear to have very few problems, I do not wish others to assume I lack compassion for them too. I may have more empathy for you than you think. I have struggled, insanely. Especially during this entire year, it would seem. I think 2015 hasn't been my strongest year, but I have certainly had a chance to explore myself as a person, and meet new people from circles I would otherwise had never com...

My life of late has felt like mission impossible. For every symbol of synchronicity occurring in my life, the more I begin to see the error of my thinking. It is true that there is no harm in having a critical mind, on the contrary it does reveal to us, within time, the dark patterns of our own behaviour. I have absolutely no doubt that all of our ideas and ambitions are somewhat shared, and there is an apparent power struggle for those trying to achieve and create the life of their dreams. We must remember, that whenever we absorb information, it buries and saturates itself into the subconscious, and can later cause detrimental effects on our day to day functioning, if taken too literally. So let us be mindful of the sort of activities we participate in and the kind of role models we chose to follow. I myself, have embarked on a journey that has opened up a world of opportunity, but also creativity and compassion. My religious studies have pushed me to the brink of sanity. I have v...
