Store owners beam and put their own face, person, livelihood behind their product, and with that, accountability, ownership, pride

Keywords: What We Are

in a season where isolation and independence have become the norm, even praised and celebrated, i want to lean hard on my place, my people, i want to depend on things to be there for me – the bread shop that opens every day until midnight, the aunty who sells the softest cotton sleepwear every sunday, the uncle who i know will be there, faithfully repairing shoes until he no longer can… in turn, they depend on (us/me), for their livelihood, purpose; and for both of us, we want each other, for the warmth, interaction, companionship.

Therapy has a different purpose for different people, but for me it has been brilliant in helping me to develop trust in my own choices and have faith in my decisions

A few days ago I received my final classification for my Broadcast Journalism degree. After a lot of very hard work and discipline, I thankfully graduated with a 2:1. Not the highest grade, but much better than the 2:2 or 3rd I would have received if I hadn’t have pulled myself together at several stages during the last two years.

When the rest of my life was falling apart, when I was lonely and afraid, depressed and self-destructive, I had dinner

Keywords: personal growth and spirituality , abraham maslow , creativity , psychology , self-development

A different way of looking at “the used life,” perhaps. As a means of using our capacities to create a firm foundation. As a way of coping with stress, overwhelm, and crisis. We’ve all got to have something—some series of behaviors, rituals, activities, skills—that make life worth living when it doesn’t feel that way. As for me, mine are rooted in the stuff of daily life. I have discovered that, no matter where I am, as long as I am making use of the present—by being creative, by using my body, by engaging my senses to the fullest and fulfilling the single most important responsibility I have to myself—to be alive— the miraculous is always in my backyard. It’s in my neighbors, my friends and loved ones. It’s in the birds and the butterflies. And, of course, it’s always in my kitchen. It’s dinner, friends. It’s dinner.

If there is one thing I want to do with my career (other than survive and be able to afford to live), it’s to love people

Keywords: personal , reflections , social , social justice , wellbeing

To be able to feel and show compassion to those who are marginalised in our society by whatever means and help those within my generation and beyond to see past outdated institutional beliefs. I want to one day be able to experience that warm feeling you get when you see communities coming together, and not when something disastrous happens, but in our everyday lives. The kind of feeling you feel when a little child hugs your legs because they are so full of love for everyone. We adults could learn so much from children if we give them more of a voice.

In revamping my brand, BBIF’s mission is to encourage women to get excited about chasing, achieving & maintaining their fitness goals. My plan for this is to share healthy food ideas, workout programs I’m currently using, meditation practices, & updates in the health & wellness industry. I don’t only want to motivate, I want to educate so that this community can grow to be confident & self sufficient in our fitness journey.

I want to find a way to stop running all these subroutines and just let the processor sit idle

Keywords: fitness

I am definitely not as good at that as just sleeping. My “vacation” is full of to do’s, curriculum review and marking. I’m going to have to work on actively forbidding myself to do things on particular days or maybe just going at a pace that doesn’t feel pushed like it does when I am not trying to rest. Wow, even that phrase, “trying to rest” reads like an oxymoron.

Sometimes it’s scary to feel alone in [learning to be] more confident in my self-expression, whether that’s with people I meet or in what I choose to do in life

Keywords: journal

[…] even though it seems like everyone has something to do and accomplish, something to catch up on because they’ve run short on time, it’s okay to be alone, feeling like all you have is time and possibilities. It’s okay to be writing a blog entry that maybe no one will read because I have dreams and goals. It’s okay to be doing anything and feeling alone in the process. Because honestly, everyone has too much on their own plate to be worrying about where you’re going and what you’re doing. I’m not saying no one has an interest in one another, but we all have something we either want to accomplish or need to accomplish that nobody else can do but you.

And I can tell you there’s no way I’d want to spend the last day of my life missing out or feeling bad – only because I didn’t think I was “pretty enough or skinny enough”. And that’s on living life to the fullest.
