what do you want

Who’s in control of your actions? Are the decisions you make a reflection of what you truly want to do? For the vast majority of us, it’s the influence of other people – friends, family, colleagues, role models etc. This is for the sole reason that we have been thought to operate in this manner from young. We were taught that feeling accepted was important, and that when we “listened to what others said”, we were good.

An act in the legal scale as animal cruelty, man slaughter and polluting the environment to something to the scale of relationship such as cheating on one’s partner and even in a conversational...

First Impressions

"Hi Karin, I'll be held up at work tomorrow, guess you've got to head down for class yourself. So sorry about it." My heart sank, class would have probably been a bore without Gail, but well, I guess if there was anytime to get back on my own 2 feet alone, this was the time. Although I had half the mind to give the class a miss, I decided to give it the good ole' try and go for it.  After work, I got my usual pack and made my way down to class. As I had subconsciously wanted to give the class a miss, I had inadvertently taken my time on the packing, bathing and making my way down to class. Midway on the road, it hit me...
