“PAIN IS MY MICROPHONE” Part 2
3 years already! I still remember the day I heard the news of my mother’s death like it was yesterday. I guess time doesn’t heal all wounds. The day we laid her to rest I thought I would be laying my pain too rest too. This was far from the case as the pain continued…

Flight or Fight: Growing Through The Cracks
The way to get through life is to count your blessings but there are times when you feel that there aren’t any to count. There are moments when you feel like your life is useless and you haven’t achieved anything that makes your life all a bit more meaningful. Have you ever felt like this?…

“Pain Is My Microphone”
Dad is gone, Mum is gone,and Grandad is also gone. How many losses can one take until they reach breaking point? I ask myself this question all the time and wonder whether this is all a test from God. I’m convinced that it is, that is the only sane and somewhat logical explanation I can…

Is Materialism The Route To Happiness?
“Money can’t buy you happiness” … “Well I would drown my sorrows in a Range Rover”. Haven’t we heard all that before?
