Ever shifting tectonic plates of life.!

I always looked at some people and thought- "...look at that Ace, seems to have his/ her lives all figured out!" However, off late I feel like I may be finally growing up and letting the glasses of my naivety fall off. I honestly do not believe anyone has their lives figured out. I mean if you do, kudos to you!

Life just keeps shuffling. I feel like every time I convince myself I have managed to have a good footing, everything moves again. Does everyone feel this? Am I the only one? I have no idea anymore. I will admit this though- some have better proprioception for life-quakes than I do. I always seem to land flat on my arse every time my life changes! (Note to self: You really need to stop doing that! Start working on some proprioception training for Pete's sake! 😂) 

It makes me wonder how people navigate through life stumbling less than I do? Where does one learn the rights and wrongs of proprioception training for the soul? Definitely not the kind of questions one must be asking sat at their work desk- but here we are...

I sound like such a whiny kid even as I type this! But why does school not train us for this? Why does no teacher come to class and say- "Good morning class! Today we will talk about how to put our pieces together when life breaks us down Or Let's talk about how to surf through the waves of life" or something on those lines. You get the idea. I think the single most terrifying thing to have happened to me is the day I realised that the adult I was looking for in the room was ME!!!

I am hoping I am not alone in feeling this?! I really am in awe of the people who can gracefully tackle every shift of the tectonic plate of life. Not going to lie I have a whole dramatic situation going every time life flips on me. (Whether you are audience to that show or not is a completely different story altogether 😛) I really do wish there existed a guide on what to do. I know that we are all unique and that we need to put our pieces back together individually and that there is one rule applies that applies to all. I am content in that the books I love and the music I drown myself in (and of course the people crazy enough to love me- despite being privy to my dramatics 😅) helps me get past 100% of the tough times but I can't stop wondering every now and then...

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone who had the answer to it all? Someone you could surely call every time you fall? Someone who could be the default black hole that you could pour all your secrets into- dirty secrets, your deepest shame, demons and all? I would quite like that. I would sign up to that entity no holds barred. But here we are rebuilding ourselves through every life-quake we survive. Just for a second though, I can't help but wonder... Wouldn't that black hole be a nice place to visit with our broken pieces after the soul shattering fall?! 

Until next time peeps... 😊
Take care and be kind!

Joshua Templeman- seemingly an absolute Chad!

 This post is about the one fateful day, I saw an advert for a RomCom on a YouTube video and on this rare occasion- I immediately switched to the movie and saved the video for later. I won’t lie, my first impulse to watch the movie was Austin Stowell’s face, I am also not sorry that I watched The Hating Game ! Now that I have read the book on which the movie is based- I understand a lot of things that I thought remained unexplained/ out of place in the movie. Yes, I ended up liking the story of the movie that much! To be honest I am like this with different things that I like about a movie, cartoon, video game, author, actor… you name it!   Now, I will try my best to give out spoilers, but I guess it will fail at that anyway. So, consider this as a Spoiler alert warning for this post. On with it now… The movie or the book by itself are no Shakespearean piece, I like it for the ease with which it delves in the insecurities of both parties involved. Though most people may ca...

Choices and consequences

 Not a very long post today Much going on in life offline to be writing lengthy posts at the moment. However, I think I may be closer to understanding on of the many facets about being an adult. The fun part is- the way I see it now, it is true! No one in their right minds has their lives figured out. We all make it up as we go along...!? 😛 So far, my most and least favourite part about this the fact that 3 things ring truer than anything else- 1. With great power, comes great responsibility. 2. You are the choices you make. 3. You live with the consequence of each choice you make, no escaping there! More later... work calling! Take care and be kind!

So I've been thinking...

 So I've been thinking.. as we do! 😛 Community is such a double edged sword. We all crave a sense of community but isn't it the same community the one that drives us to madness at times. How many times have we had to say what we didn't mean just to belong? Let go of things we really loved to do, for fear that people may judge/ talk?  Life is a tough gig as is, without the excess stress of risking being the misfit, right? Makes me wonder though- is being a misfit really all that bad? I mean don't we all go through a phase where we feel like we don't belong? I sure did. To be honest- I still feel out of place on some days. But hey at least I have learned the value of my own company, being confident in the knowledge that it is better than the company of some members of the so called community. Don't get me wrong, I have friends. Not too many, just enough. It amazes me that I catch so many of the people I know lying through their teeth so that they could conform t...
