Category: Life Experience

Pretty much ever since Facebook was invented I feel as though it has been the third arm I never had, a tool that now probably seems it is an integrated part of our life, checking on status of friends, looking at inspiring photographs & playing games. Now I am exploring more social media platforms I am wondering just how important Facebook is to me as a creative professional, sometimes i feel as though I waste too much of my time on Facebook when I should be spending time blogging, spreading posts on Reddit or Stumbleupon or maybe just creating some entirely new art away from the digital arena?

The experiment has begun! My Facebook is now deactivated and I am going to see how my life is going to be effected. I will be reporting daily about the experience, what I am missing or what I am gaining from the fact I will no longer be using the king of social platforms. Will it be an eye opener or will it feel like I am missing an important part of my life? Only time will tell…

Living a semi-normal life

Trying to live a non facebook life will be interesting, it may be sad to admit but when I wake up the first thing I would do is check my facebook news feed for the latest bit of interesting facts. Surely this can’t be healthy and thus one of the reasons I am conducting the experiment.

Sometimes we can get really down in life when we focus on the economic gloom, read & watch the negative news about the few very mentally disturbed people doing terrible things to other human beings, the dwindling amount of work in the ever increasing competitive markets and personal difficulties that life can throw at us, we can easily become depressed and feel the world is becoming worse rather than better. You want to escape from it anyway you can…believe me…i’ve been there! If you are thinking like this then you are likely thinking “i want to change my life for the better”.

The truth is what we focus on we become. What we give out we get back.

It is never too late to change your life from a negative to a positive, it is simply a matter of choice.

If we think with our hearts and realize everyone is striving to be happy we can all help one another make this world a great place to live once again for everyone not just ourselves. Creating happiness in others is the greatest wealth anyone can have. I guess that is why they say..money won’t make you happy.

I am going to try my best to follow the message of the video as much as I can , be positive and spread positive vibes. Its never too late to change your attitude  : –

You may have noticed that sometimes ( actually…probably quite often!) that my blog posts can have grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. Sometimes I only realize after I have read what I have wrote three or four times and it can be quite frustrating to say the least. The odd thing is, as a child, I won a trophy for creative writing, I completed all of my school qualifications with good grades and I managed to see through two of the most difficult degrees possible in Architecture & Teaching. Okay Architecture may be more practical but we still have to write about Architectural History & the technology as well as read how things are built and how famous architects have conceived their ideas. It was only when I had to take QTS ( Qualified Teacher Status ) tests that I realized I may have a problem in this area. I passed my IT and Maths test with ease it was the english test that caused me problemos! Continue “Finding out you are dyslexic”

Seeing as the proposed end of the world happened yesterday and we were all meant to be 6ft below. I felt it never a better time to create a bucket list. Some of these things may be pretty typical bucket list featuring on most peoples list but hey, im not that unique, a little odd maybe but still human…just about.
