THE THIEF OF JOY
Anxiety infiltrates our inner peace and disrupts our overall well-being, leaving a detrimental impact on our physical health. It is often claimed that excessive worrying can be the root cause of severe ailments such as cancer and heart attacks. A comprehensive psychological study reveals that the bodily aches and discomforts we experience during times of…
AN EMOTIONLESS START
“Letting go of something that no longer serves you is the beginning of self-care.” Time is wasted remaining in a potentially precarious situation. If you did not experience exactly what it felt like to be loved as a child, you will probably search for affection in the wrong places as an adult. This is not…
LONELINESS IS THE KILLER!!
I’ve been asked to write on a variety of subjects, and “loneliness” is one of them. I won’t lie; despite having had relationships and lots of friends, I have always felt lonely. Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of friends, and I feel at ease in a room full of people I don’t…
A BETTER MINDSET
Among the many good feelings, gratitude is one. It’s important to concentrate on the positive aspects of our lives and express gratitude for what we have. Taking a moment to recognise and be grateful for the things we frequently take for granted, such as having a place to live, food, clean water, friends, family, and…

Many people are followers in society whether it be fashion, slang, or celebrities, and are deemed to be normal, even…
The Senses of My Mentality.
SEE NO EVIL… To see that angry person with those crazy-looking eyes staring at me in the mirror. But I appreciate that God has given me sight and allowed me to be me. Closing my eyes to the insanity around me keeps me safe for another day. SMELLING IS ALMOST TASTING Fear, the smell of…
TOLERANCE VS ACCEPTANCE
Tolerance is your willingness to endure the existence of opinions or behaviour you dislike or disagree with. On the other hand, acceptance is assenting and embracing someone or something you don’t like without protesting and trying to change them. One of the hardest things I struggle with is being in a room for hours with…
YOU’VE GOT THIS!
A little of my background to show that ‘being black’ was not an excuse to fail my exams. It would be a lack of motivation, encouragement and listening to others say, What’s the point? You are never going to be successful in this country. I was born in August 1972 in London, United Kingdom. I…
