Bucket Lists

Whether you hope to die age 100 with a cup of tea in your hand and a cat on your lap, or die age 50 on the greatest adventure of your life through the North Pole, then this is a post for you.



A few years ago I set myself a task to at least entertain the idea that I had a future, and that it could possibly be filled with some fun.

I dared myself to dream. And it helped! I never realised that I do actually have a long list of things I'd like to do before I die. I spent 2 hours writing up this list. And it really REALLY helped to lift my mood.

Do you have a Bucket List? If you don't, would you like one?

Get Out & Grow

Image
Get out  Of the confines of the fault finding mind Get out Into the world where the sun still shines and we can become more inclined towards its positive light Step out from the belligerent beliefs that only serve to feed A nitpicking narrative A cocoon of contempt.
Is it that bad? Is the world actually out to get us?  Do our peers exist solely to sneer and stand hand on gavel Ready to pass judgement on our every move? To render us unstable within our own self worth Burying our esteem under the hardened ground of shitty self talk composting and fertilising  a poisonous seed of self image that needs uprooting.
Get out  Of the view that's there's something bad about you. Because you - You are the unbelievable seed of incredible, of significant, of a strong and sacred life. You have immeasurable capacity to grow and thrive And that might sound exuberant, I get it,  I didn't believe it either. I didn't realise But free now from that mindset, I've come completely alive.
See, maybe we're mis…

Set. Rest. Rise.

Image
Set, rest, rise again.

In this process it transforms, dissolves, descends - its undoing, an art in itself, Built on brushstrokes of goodbye,
The composition illuminates the fiery sky -
A bold farewell to the day.

No concern for what has passed, unencumbered by what may be. The day is settled. The sun's job for now, complete.
Set, rest, rise again.
Its return, is another exquisite piece,
Dictating to darkness that now it must cease Emerging gently, gradually creating its display
A dynamic kaleidoscopic embrace -
Though a repetitive routine, never a repeat
Each new rising unveiling its own expressive feat.
Set, rest, rise again.

Cementing Self Security

Image
It's come to light more and more the insidious hold insecurity has on us as a society these days. Sadly, it's as though it's become normalised to just not feel good about ourselves; we put ourselves down in feigned modesty or 'politeness', we feed into the pursuit of a perfected image, we try to be someone or something we're not, we're more jealous and anxious, lost and unsure.

You can see it everywhere; in the messages we're receiving, the actions we take, the behaviours we engage in.

Many of us just find it impossible to believe or feel that we are actually worthy, deserving or good enough as we are at any given time.

We mightn't even realise how deep it runs either, but it could definitely be affecting our day-to-day in a profoundly negative and sabotaging way.

Personally, I've had enough of seeing the effects of the 'not good enough affliction'. I've had enough of seeing beautiful, lovable people completely oblivious of their worth, …
