From codependent relationships to healthy love

    I spent a good chunk of my life between my mid twenties to my late thirties in unhealthy codependent relationships.    A codependent relationship is a love addiction where we seek to prove our worth by helping people with broken wings💔   We’re drawn to addicts and under-functioners who’ll depend on us emotionally, financially or in some other way.    We also have a tendency to attract very narcissistic and abusive people who have a lot of shit…

The ups + downs of chronic pain

    This is me, Thursday night just gone, in massive pain and laying on hot water bottles.    I’ve had chronic pain for about the last nine or ten years after I wrote off my motorbike and landed on my head.   Didn’t know for the first seven years that it was a bulging disc in my neck causing issues as my main symptom was neck and shoulder pain.    Started getting a mad headache on Wednesday which by…

  Do you remember who you were at your happiest?   Before you let all those mo fo’s dim your fucking shine?   Do you remember what it is that makes you truly happy?   The things you love to do?   The things that make you smile, laugh, or make your heart sing?   Is it time to un-fuck yourself?   There’s never a better time than now to start freeing yourself from all the negative bullshit and past…

You drown not by falling in the river, but by staying submerged in it

  Life is full of ups and downs, where it can feel like the shit hitting the fan will never end. This is a guaranteed part of life. But like old mate Tony Robbins says, pain is part of life; suffering is optional. Granted, when life gives you lemons, you can feel very triggered, angry, hurt, upset, resentful, bitter… and if this goes on for long enough you risk burnout, anxiety and depression. We can be our own worst enemy…
