Advocates, icons, influencers, and more. All about humanity.
striving.
Having a pair of eyes and a mind of my own. Having a functioning & healthy body, 2 arms and 2 working legs that allow me to do oh so much. 🧚♂️💃 Being more than capable of creating the beautiful world I want for myself each day. Living, is what keeps me moving. Everyday that I wake up is a blessing, as cliché as that sounds it's true. I tell my google mini to play Positive healing music on spotify, as it sets a beautiful tone for my morning, I then make my bed, wash my face, and write in my manifestations/visualizations/dream book. I write 3 things I am grateful for, it helps me remain humble and it reminds me of the gratituiy I have for even the littlest things. I then write down where I envision myself in the future. I write in present tense as if I am already there,(perhaps Ireland) I close my eyes, imagine and feel that I'm there... and it is so blissful. The law of attraction and manifestation is something I whole-heartedly believe in. Whenever I have crazy, intense or inspiring dreams I also write that down. Watching my family working hard & smart daily for their dreams is what inspires me. Maintaining a good relationship with my family whilst recieving their constant support has been so impactful, because after all, who you spend your time with most is who rubs off on you most. Getting to know myself better and becoming a better person each and everyday, looking back and reflecting and journaling on past experiences and emotions has really gotten me to understand myself better. I've realized that the only person you shoulf be comparing yourself to is the one you were yesterday, or even a year ago. Having so much time to myself during this quarintine has definitely had it's pros + cons (as most things).. I've found myself feeling more anxious than ever, feeling more lonely than ever, and in so much fear than ever with everything going on in the world amongst other personal things. Yet I decided to pull myself through and make the best out of what feels like long and dreary days. After all it's all about your mindset and outlook on life... it really is. 👁👄👁It's about the way you choose to interpret and react to life. I began all the projects and courses I never made time for, or never had time for. I found my true love❤️, my passion... which is music producing. And haven't felt this fulfilled like this in quite some time... the mini music studio I'm creating in my room is still in progress, and is about 75% done. I finished a photography course and bought a camera + gear, something I'd been wanting to do since I was about 8, and I began a videography course on Udemy, if you've never heard of it you should check it out, they have a variety of online courses for great pricing! I cleaned out my entire closet and just began planning designs for clothing of mine I'm going to flip and re sale on DePop and other sites such as poshmark, etsy, etc. I'm eventually going to create my own clothing business by simply reusing clothes I already have or thrifted and touching them up. I began to read more and watch more videos to further my education on various topics such as the environment, politics, physical + mental health, as well as products I've been using on my skin and hair!! (Everyone should definitely check out the Think Dirty APP) if you haven't already, for it has the list of ingredients in the beauty/skin care products you use or want to buy. It lists what harmful ingredients it may contain, etc. You would be veru surpised in what you find that you're using on your own hair or skin. I began watching more documentaries and high rated movies, for there is usually some sort of teaching in most of them, and knowledge is power. 90% of the time after watching a good movie or documentary there is always a lesson gained from it, something valuable that you can apply to the way you live life or to the way you look at life. For example, I recently finished 13 Reasons Why and although it was probably the most depressing series I've ever watched, I truly learned so much from it. One of my favorite lessons taught from it was in Clay's graduation speech when he basically says that no matter how low or depressed you're feeling to just remember to "keep moving", and to "choose to live...cuz even on the worst days there are people who love you, and there's new music out there for you, things that will blow your mind" and that entire speech really hit me hard, because it's true. These are words that haven't left my mind since. We often get so caught up in how we are feeling in the moment we forget that there's so much out there for us, there are people in our lives who love us truly and would do anything for us. There are so many things in life we have not yet seen or experienced that are meant for us to discover, see, and feel...and there are so many people out there who are meant to be in our lives and are meant for us.

my feelings of wearing a face mask during the cornavirus outbreak
I'm sure this topic is on every bodies mind at the moment. It can be difficult to work out what is right and wrong when it comes to the current pandemic. It has been very difficult for everybody and it is great that we are starting to get through it and live a normal life again. Boris Johnson has been great and he has helped his country to come through this situation. I think he should deserve a medal for what he's done for our country. I am sure we all couldn't thank him enough.

Day 126
Hello and Welcome! This is my first post on vocal creators and I spent several weeks deciding what I was going to talk about. This morning, I woke up and just needed to type so this post is not informational, informative, persusasive, dramatic, etc. This is my headspace on day 126 of COVID-19 hitting Arizona, US. Buckle up, it's a rough ride because this girl is confused as fuck!

Doing Vs Having
When I started writing for Vocal, my first article “Accidentally Minimalist” received a quite positive response. Throughout my personal quarantine journey, Minimalism is something I’ve become quite invested in, for a variety of reasons. So, I’ve decided that today, I’m going to share a little lesson about minimalism that the lockdown has taught me; the huge difference in value between having things, and doing things.

Fear of death: we practice how to die every day.
The fear of death dictates our lives. When we free ourselves from it, we will be free and happy. Everything is a cycle. Everything evolves, dissolves, and transforms. We know the physical laws of creation and destruction very well, but we don’t like to implement this knowledge to our own lives, as it shows us our own momentariness. We are born, live and then we die. When we look at the cycle of life we have to accept our own perishability and this frightens us. Death is the biggest fear we all have to face one day, better sooner than later. All fears we have are originated in the fear of death.

Lets pretend
Lets play pretend, in the land of make believe where we once thought we were safe. Young and alive, and running free. The sun shining on our shoulders as we unknowingly watched our screens, one by one, go from black and white, with an antennae on top, to, fits in a pocket, and can do almost anything.

Resilience: How to Thrive during a Second-Wave Lockdown
There is a "second-wave" of COVID-19 cases in Victoria, Australia, which triggered a 6-week lockdown. The recent boom in cases (albeit much smaller in numbers compared to our American counterparts) has forced the hand of the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, to keep us under quarantine. This second-wave of quarantine is personally more mentally taxing than the first; considering how much hope I had for Australia to keep their numbers at bay before the second semester of university starts. [For our Global North folks, our academic calendar starts at the start of the year.]

The sad reality of COVID-19
In Canada we are now entering the third phase of quarantine where we are just now allowing all stores to open up again. There are still a lot of rules and regulations concerning the opening of businesses but for the most part they can open up again. We still have to be pretty diligent in preventing the illness from spreading to one another.
