Life is a bittersweet collision between reality and imagination. The art of getting by is to combine these two so they infuse in everything you do. We must create our own reality but like any art piece it must come from within the darkest depths of you. Play. Feel. Imagine. Create Yourself. Love life. Feel life. Draw your very own masterpiece around you. Fill your days with colour and sensuality. Try not to mould yourself around your life-mould your life around You.

The above article disturbed, angered and horrified me until it brought to tears by the line “..but then they bring in a baby, hit in the groin”.
How have we become a world in which this is a reality? I am disgusted and I am full of a deep deep sorrow that renders me breathless for there are no words.
This should be the wake up call. It is words like these that should ignite action, but will it?

Take time to breathe in the moments that take your breath away. There is so much beauty in this wild world we live in. Be sure to reflect it upon yourself and absorb every second into your every pore-store it up for those rainy days when you lose your way. Take note of your dreams, as silly as they may seem, they are born from your core and are a part of you therefore they are real. Remember that child you used to be? What would they do? They’d believe anything could happen as long as you can imagine it. This is still true-manifest with the eyes of your inner child. I believe it, therefore it is.
The link above is a short video created by Jason Silva, a man I have only recently discovered but am intoxicated by. He talks of technology and imagination and life and love and beauty in a way that excites you and ignites the vibrations within you so that you literally almost feel yourself bubbling over with glee! I watch him speak and I am hopeful for he reminds me that there are indeed people “out there” who are creating more. People who are pushing their own boundaries and through that journey inspiring others to do the same. Jason Silva calls himself an “optimist” and that statement alone refreshes my mind in ways that I can only liken to the feeling you get when you dive into a cold pool on a hot day-his words enliven my whole being.
I began this blog so that I may share my thoughts and feelings and maybe through doing so I will inspire at least one other human being-and so I share this tremendous young man with you-whoever you are, and I hope that from watching/listening/following him you will go through the same process I did. Let his words and his vision kiss you alive-and then some.

With my heart I will grow a forest. With my soul I will water every seed. With my breath I will blow, so that a forest in you too will grow. Like a feather falling through the air I will flutter past your skin. As the sun kisses the earth I will let the warmth in. Within those darkened days I will run your pain away. As your feet take you forward I will hold your hands. I will drink your tears and serve you laughter so that we can weave a forever after. For we are all a part of everything. Tiny dots together bound by forever. We are beauty we are pain and we have everything to gain.

Jack White - “Love Interrupted”
Jack Fucking White. I mean, just damn it.
Beautiful song.
We tend to forget what Valentines day is all about due to the bombardment of red and pink love-degrading marketing that is shoved in our faces! No, love is not about teddy bears and synthetic chocolates, it’s not about generic cards and mugs with hearts on (although they are cute) Love is the warmth in your heart you feel when your friend makes you laugh till you cry, Love is your little brother holding you tight and kissing you on the lips telling you not to go, Love is your mother crying at a birthday card you wrote, Love is a friend going out of their way to let you know they care, Love is your father looking at you in wonder realising you are no longer his baby, Love is perfect strangers fighting for change side by side, Love is the sun on your face and the air you breathe, Love is in everything, in hatred and in pain, Love is the driving force beneath our feet-if you let it it will take you anywhere. ❤
This year I want to see as many sunrises as possible in as many different places as I can. I want to taste something new every day, be it a new food, a new drink, a new kind of air. I want to fall in love with myself, the world and maybe someone else too. This year I want to do everything I have said I want to do. So why don’t you?
