(VISION) A Tip For Beginning The Week


If you are beginning your week hoping for the weekend, perhaps it is time to completely rethink your current position. Is there something elsewhere that you would rather be doing that could give you a higher quality of being?

I know, you may respond to that by saying 'Listen Lewis, I have bills to pay, miss me with this bullshit please - thanks.'

Valid point, but you could be paying bills doing something you love but you are not taking the necessary  steps to work towards that goal.

To be brutally honest, its usually the fear of disrupting or distorting personal perceptions e.g. going back to school/college - you place lots of weight on others opinions and expectations of you. What if I told you those 'other' opinions are just a personal viewpoint of  ourselves that we often project onto other people to justify our actions. Can people have negative opinions and expectations of us? Of course! Can these viewpoints be internalised and affect us emotionally? Totally!  But what do YOU think of yourself and your chances of achieving what you would love to do? Perhaps it is time to change your source of emotional input and remove the weight of such negative opinions.

Often, the steps to becoming the version of ourselves that we envision is weighted on a singular decision - saying 'fuck you' to everybody else and doing what we have to do to get where we want to be. The necessary steps to achieve the goals you have set for yourself has always been there, you just needed to ask yourself why you weren't moving towards them.

So this Monday, think about that. What are you currently doing and what COULD you be doing.

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...
