Riding the Singing Wolf
Hello to those of you who are on the path of transformation in this unbelievably materialistic and judgmental world! You will relate to the feeling of riding blind upon a singing wolf! There is the exhilaration of freedom, yet the fear of falling, the strangeness of the song, and the not knowing where you will end up.

Everyone Has Some Sort of Eating Disorder and Body Dysmorphia Part One
Everyone has some sort of eating disorder and body dysmorphia, it’s just the situation of the world today. Since the 80s, I truly believe this has gotten worse with social media; it's everywhere you look, nowhere is safe anymore. Back in the 80s, I watched my mum as she battled with her idea of what a perfect body should look like. I watched as my nan battle and slowly die from her eating disorder. Each woman battling a different side: a different kind of mindset. With my mum, she always thought of herself as overweight, and standing at 4'9'' she was maybe a little curvier than most people back in the 80s, but I used to think she was perfect. Shapely legs, beautiful hips which she used to carry me on, amazing arms to which she would give the most amazing hugs with. To me, she was perfect, and as a child, I never understood why she didn’t love her body. I loved her, shouldn’t she love herself too? Although she never become underweight and I never believed she was overweight, it was where her mindset was at that time. The woman loved her food and she could eat, but she would torture herself with self-loathing and hide her body under baggy clothing.

The Marginal Returns in Life
There is a well-known law in economics called the ‘Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility’, which states that as consumption of a good or service increases per unit, the satisfaction derived from consuming an additional unit or more will lead to a subsequent decline in its overall utility. In other words, the more you consume, the less satisfied you will be with each additional product or service you purchase. The first thing you buy, use, or consume will be the most satisfying but the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th unit of the same item you utilize will not be as useful and could even not satisfy you at all.

I Believe in I
There’s this feeling that overcomes anyone with something to say or share. It could be your music, writing, your work. Like clockwork, that annoying voice inside your head interrupts your day, asking you all kinds of irrelevant and annoying questions:

Don't Let the Fear of Not Being Good Enough Stop You from Having Fun
This article serves as a reminder than we are allowed to do things ‘just for fun’. The attitude of not pursuing something unless we are going to be the very best in that area has robbed many of joy and the benefits of having hobbies. Hobbies are a vital part of life, and we do not have to be the best in order to benefit from their various advantages.

The Theory of 'What Happens After Death' That Saved My Life
I had the strangest of dreams in one of the darkest periods of my life, and it saved me. It was the beginning of 2011 and I was in one of the worst states that I've ever been in. I had been through a lot in my life, and at that time, the cherry on top was that I had been sexually assaulted. I was sick and tired of living my life and I was under a blanket of depression and dark thoughts.
