A snake sheds its skin to survive.
A snake sheds its skin to survive. To grow. If it didn’t, it would die. Suffocate. Humans shed approx 1.6lb of flesh per year. Our cells all regenerate depending on the cellular lifespan, typically 7 years (all but the neurons in our brains, which last a lifetime)...
Fuck it, fuck it all… it’s not worth it.
Sometimes, I just don’t care and there are things I just don’t want to fucking do. It really is THAT simple! I don’t care I don’t want to I’m not going to I don’t. And I’m sick of being told that I should, or I have to, or whatever other bullshit, because that’s how...
Maybe I did it all backwards, y’know?
Who am I kidding, of course I did. Here’s how things are supposed to work; You grow up, go through school, study, learn, get the certificate(s), work, work some more, gain the traction, get the “results”; the pay rise, the promotion, etc, and then you’re allowed to be...
How to be more successful than most people will ever be
Recently, I was living in my own little bubble, as I always do, writing, posting, living my life, raising my children, chatting to friends, and getting on with things, and I received an email… nothing unusual. In this email, was written the following (verbatim); The...
It’s all or nothing… there is no in-between

If you could start over, what would you change?
If you could just wipe the slate clean, start over, do things fresh, anew… what would you do? What would you keep the same? What would you do the same? What would you do differently? What would you pay more attention to? What would you not give your attention to? It’s...
I’m bored and miserable and everyone else in the world should be too.
Now then, did I get your attention? Good. Because it’s a lie. I’m not bored. OK, maybe a little, but it’s a healthy amount of bored. The kind that induces creativity, not the type that has me laid on the sofa staring at the TV whilst mindlessly eating my body weight...
Comparisonitis will permanently kill your joy!
Yep, keep comparing this with that and you’re gonna be a miserable, joyless bastard for the rest of your life. Really, it’s that simple. Let’s take for example all the new movie remakes. If you sit down to watch a remake of a beloved movie from your childhood (we know...
Why are you so keen to keep “passing the time”?
Time does a pretty good job of passing by all on it’s own. Tick follows tock whether you do something with it or not. The Earth continues to spin on its axis, and make its way around the sun. And yet, everyone just wants to “pass the time” while they get from here to...
