Can We Know Ourselves?
Every individual is always at war within themselves in order to know who they really are. But with the constant changes of our environment, society, and acquaintances, it is quite difficult to find a reasonable answer to questions such as knowing yourself. The pressure that is put on every individual by their surroundings, forces them to make minor changes in their behaviour unconsciously, which leads to being a new person, depending on the conditions that the individual lives in.

A Silent Moment
My window’s cracked open as the rain continues to fall. I already secured my blinds away from the window, so I could watch the storm, the sky continuing to darken into hues of navy and purple, swirling in the deep dark clouds.

Why I Switched to Bathroom Wipes
**Warning this is about to get real!** While growing up poor, I've always had to use that nasty one ply toilet paper or newspaper. You don't know the struggle until the toilet paper rips and you end up giving yourself an enema. It wasn't until I got my first job that I started using them. The first time I used them I promised myself I would NEVER go back!

Virtual Consultations in Healthcare (UK)
A few years ago, when I was a university student in Southampton from Newcastle Upon Tyne, I was awaiting results from a biopsy I had a month before. I was given a follow up appointment date, which was to discuss the results from the procedure. This wasn't my first biopsy and I had been with the same urologist/consultant for two years; I believe we had managed to build a good rapport. Unfortunately, I had to travel home (Newcastle) tqo days before my appointment. This meant I could not attend the follow up appointment as planned. If you think getting a GP appointment is hard, getting an appointment with the urologist (at the time) was even harder! I called the urologist's secretary and asked if the face to face appointment could be changed to a telephone appointment. She wasn't sure if this was possible so I left the message with her, to hear back later that day. I got a call from the urologist (on the same day); he too informed me that he wasn't sure if it was 'allowed' to do the review over the phone and he would get back to me after confirming this. The next day, he called me and to my delight, whoever he had to confirm with had agreed to a telephone appointment.

Cord Cutting Meditation
Cord Cutting Meditation Victoria LaPointe Mirror Dragon The purpose of this exercise is to get you to a place where you can recognize what you feel like withOUT the woven energy of others we carry with us and interact with all the time. Once you recognize what your Self feels like, you can tell which feelings, emotions, and physical pain is yours, and which is not. Empathic people have a tendency to own energy that doesn’t belong to them. I think it’s important to be able to tell the difference.
