reflection on that other world
Climb back into my shell I suppose.
My mum misses the way I would call all the time,
I miss reaching out to my dad, to my brother, to my friends.

A sea breeze for the spirit
There is something so healing about the smell of the salt water and the warmth of the sunshine on my skin. The wonderful sea breeze blows away all my pain. And this combination of all my senses together makes me feel like I can put myself back together again.… Read the rest
Momento mori – when life gets real
The other thing that I have been thinking of in terms of psychology lately, is the idea of memento mori. I have heard a few great thinkers say that it is important to ponder on the inevitability of one’s own death every single day.… Read the rest
