(EXPERIENCE) Why Detaching Yourself Is Sometimes The Best Thing

We live within a framework that extracts negativity from  most of the sources it comes into contact with, masking us within a cloud of negativity that stifles our personal as well as collective abilities to reach a higher level of spiritual consciousness . By consciousness I am not explicitly referring to a celestial, religious body but rather our own perception of our self worth  as opposed to the ideological lens that various institutions shape our perceptions with. This massive cloud of negativity is in many ways preventing our own success. We are exposed and operate within this cloud and allow what we see to affect our own inner perceptions and expectations- we become so consumed within external forces such as social media, the news and many other social constructions that we neglect the body and mind that we are gifted with and become consumed by in many regards, a senseless search for stimulation. If we do not allow ourselves to  disconnect from this framework from time to time and  delve into creative, spiritual or emotive rabbit holes then we exist within a synthetic framework designed to do nothing but stimulate mindless desires. I have found that by meditating or simply writing posts like these allow me to center myself and see things from a  truly 'first person' perspective.
I am not not by any means saying give up social media or disregard what you see in the news, I am suggesting that we are increasingly becoming more and more detached from ourselves and by simply taking the time,whether that is an hour a day or once a week to do something that exists outside of this framework we are operating in, then the quality of the lived experience is drastically improved.

So enjoy the liberty and mindlessness of social media, fear and become engaged with the sociopolitical endeavours of your society but also remember to acknowledge and appreciate that there is a side of you that you may be currently neglecting that is screaming to be let free. Do not fear being a little bit different, enjoy being you.

(EXPERIENCE) A Short Thought On Messing Up

There are one million different things that you could do with your life. Every day adds new pathways and thus new outcomes to your future. The aim is not to focus on all the possible outcomes at once,  but to go with what excites you,  what motivates you - what gives you purpose. With every poor decision you make,  there are hundreds of ways to correct it. Don't focus on what you have done wrong in the past, focus on what you can do right in this moment. You can't be defined on what you have done wrong if you truly know what you've done to make things right this time. Fuck everybody else and their opinions. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

(BUSINESS) Launching An Idea Part 3:Branding

We have your driving force, and we have transitioned this nicely into a passionate area. Now ,we can talk about the more exciting stuff – Now we can talk about your branding. Branding is something I think separates you from everybody else in your field – provided it is done right. Strong branding enables a successful idea launch, but ONLY if a driving force and passionate area have been considered too. I like to separate my branding into three areas -   look, feel and message . Your look is quite self explanatory – how are you presenting yourself to your audience ?   If you are launching a blog, what colour schemes does your page utilise? What font are you using for posts? If you are launching a music or vlogging channel, what does your logo look like?   What colours are you choosing to utilise in your videos? Your look is ultimately the first impression you give to your potential audience, so ensure that what you use conveys the first impress...

What Is Masculinity?

It has recently become an interest of mine to explore the question “what is masculinity?”. Masculinity has long been associated with power, dominance, and authority but often, these components are in reference to   particular groups of people. Generally speaking, the most common form of masculinity is embodied by white, middle class and usually heterosexual men. This is sometimes referred to as "hegemonic" masculinity (although the term and it's ideas are  a lot more complex once you read further in to it).  There are however many other forms of masculinity that identifying men use to express themselves. Mas culinity, like most forms of social identity is  performative – this means that as men we perform masculinity in reference to what we think best embodies or defines the term. So to clarify, whilst hegemonic is largely viewed as the dominant form of masculinity, it is not the only form that exists.  Often though, men try to emulate dominant i...
