Deliberate…
I would like to explore the difference between living a deliberate life and one that is ‘controlled’. I have a feeling based on my experiences so far that control is the well known tool we all reach for when we want to achieve something. Whereas being deliberate about our decisions is a more liberated and…

Chapter 2…
In a couple of weeks time I will be turning 30! Firstly, I believe that age is just a number and that it’s not a linear experience, no matter how much we try to enforce it socially. Internally, I often feel like an 8 year old, a young teenager and my 55 year old self that…

Free..
Strip me down, you won’t find what you’re looking for, I am not hollow, there is no end to this open door, Walk away from all that you’ve been told, Shed the weight of the lies they uphold, There is no truth in the world of illusion, Design your life without any confusion. Find…

Hard days, are still good days…
Today is a hard day, for no reason in particular other than it is just harder than it was yesterday. This is the ebb and flow of life, consistency is not a given and in fact would be a bore. But reacting to what is, is also not going to serve us with anything positive.…

Coping…
In life we are always faced with uncertainty and change, but I think the covid-19 pandemic has made us realise this truth as we are forced to face it whether we like to or not.

Safety within, not without..
Recently I was challenged on my belief of where I place my safety. It was an interesting trigger, because my whole adult life I have attached safety to some form of financial or materialistic output. Something external to me, like a job, financial stability, plans, clarity of next steps, goals or just knowing. But when…

Miss you…
This pandemic has torn so many couples, families and friends apart, I know we all have so much struggle and grief and I know there are those of us who have really difficult and heart breaking circumstance. Even if you’re single and don’t have a partner, you would still feel the heaviness that comes from…

Repetition…
A few days ago when I was journalling I recalled the homework I was required to do in Iran when I was in primary school. The homework was rewriting the given words over and over again so you could learn how to spell them. I found this task such a bore and so tedious so…

What do you think? aka Permission Please?
I think I need to go back home to the UK, what do you think? I think I would be better off here, what do you think? I don’t think I want to do corporate anymore, what do you think? I think I handled that situation well, what do you think? I think this is…
