Colour Scales
Every now & then life throws a curve ball at you. You plod on with acceptance and knowledge that not changing the status quo is the right thing to do. You see the thing with this mentality is that you loose your self. Your drive, ambition, even who you are. Its such a slow & gradual process you don’t even realise. The gas is barely feeding the light. The life of colour you once had has turned to grey.

Reducing Anxiety: You Are Not Alone
Hi! I'm Shealyn, Shea for short. Like many of you I have dealt or still dealing with anxiety. Anxiety can ruin a lot of things, friendship, relationships, peace of mind, it can also make you ill. Take it from me, my anxiety caused a really good relationship to end, I was constantly overthinking, didn't trust anyone, and was always crying. Anxiety can be very hard to control, (especially at a young age) I went through many episodes of anxiety attacks, panic attacks, it was so intense I would have two to three a day and also get on medication! The thought of having to take medication for my mental health was heartbreaking and terrifying to me... I know it may sound DRAMATIC but it happens. I would not wish this to happen to anyone because it is such an ugly feeling. That is why I wanted to share the things that I noticed to help me out, so maybe it will help others. Anyway, enough about me, lets help you out! :)

Living Life by a Life Clock
I have been wondering why the achievements I have accomplished don't make me feel as happy lately. I feel like my life clock has been ticking and by each second I am falling more and more behind. One big reason behind this is I have always done everything in my life based on what is " normal for my age" and I put that in quotations because everyone has their own definitions on what is normal for their age. Some of the normal for my age things I did:

Motivation for the AARP Generation
Those of us of "a certain age"—meaning that we get a lot of mail from AARP each week—are repeatedly told one message. In their commercials, on their website, in their magazine, in their mailings, etc., those of us in the 50-plus age range are repeatedly told that it's never too late to do great things—and to reinvent yourself and your career.

Intense Changes
It's been a while and it truly sucks to be away from the things you love. For me it's writing, among other things. I've had some intense life changes happening all year long. I've moved cross country and I'm readjusting to a familiar city. It's nostalgic and interesting to be home. A lot of people don't move back to their hometown once they leave. Statistically, 58 percent of people between 25-35 return to their hometown while ten percent will return after the age of 35. What normally makes people return? Family, community, familiarity, higher paying positions or lower living expenses. For me, it was almost all of the above.

My Flat Was Flooded and This Is What I've Learnt
It happened two weeks ago. It was 8 AM on a Tuesday. I was lying on my small comfortable couch, reading a book, eating my breakfast. Everything was peaceful—I still had a lot of time before I needed to set off. It was the second day of Freshers’ Week and I was excited to go and finally get my Student ID card, discover all the societies, experience Speed-mating and explore what Language Café had to offer. The day ahead of me was full of possibilities.

Being Kind Will Always Be the Higher Road
This world is full of good and evil and it is always so hard to stay positive when surrounded by the negativity of the harsh reality of life. This is why we need people who care about us, love us, and encourage us in our lives. This is where we can find our strength and hope when we feel as though we are no longer able to protect ourselves from letting the negativity consume our lives.
