No such thing as never. Newer posts →. April 3, 2014. Nearly twenty years on and I finally understand what he was getting at. You only really have you, in this world, and you have to start and end with that. It’s not romantic or easy, can be interpreted as either a terrible or a wonderful thing, but. Apparently this is not a life sentence. March 31, 2014. A cockerel cut through the silence and woke me up this morning. I am not sure what to make of country life yet. Every time I walk up our drive, I c...

A big adventure | no such thing as never
https://nosuchthingasnever.wordpress.com/2014/09/22/a-big-adventure
No such thing as never. What would happen if…. October 1st →. September 22, 2014. If in six months time my world starts to feel small and claustrophobic again, I hope that I look back on this summer and remember that actually it’s incredibly big and amazing, and that there are always doors that you can open if you’re prepared to look for them. It has not been an easy summer but I have come out of it a happier Issa than I went in to it. It is okay to be on your own. It is particularly okay if you̵...

Things I’ve been thinking about | no such thing as never

No such thing as never. The new 101 things in a 101 days challenge. Reduced. What would happen if…. →. Things I’ve been thinking about. June 18, 2014. There are two things that I’ve read this week which have really stuck with me. I thought that they were unrelated but I think that I might have been wrong. They are both, in their own way, about empowerment and finding your own way. The first was a blog post. The second was from the wonderful Brainpicker. I have been frustrated with myself for a while now ...

To Be Human | Zebra Sounds
https://jseew.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/to-be-human
Because you’re awesome like that…. The Friday List, 5/6/11 →. May 3, 2011. On television and Twitter, with only a few exceptions, the reaction to bin Laden’s death was giddy. After nearly ten years, justice had finally been served and there was, quite literally, singing and dancing in the street. I didn’t feel like dancing. 8220;We are not simply masters of instinct. It is the paradox of thoughts and emotion that make us human. And beautiful.”. If now, finally, we’ve reached the end of this story, ...

Three (Big) Little Things | Zebra Sounds
https://jseew.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/three-big-little-things
Like Zebra Sounds… on steroids →. Three (Big) Little Things. May 10, 2011. I read this little piece. That claims the age of irony is out, and the age of earnestness is in.”It turns out,” Lizzy Acker writes, that “everyone is finally getting sick of all their stories being filtered through a lens of hipness with all the feelings couched in inside jokes.”. I am mostly uncool. I love that. Think about how freeing that notion really is. What will you give yourself permission to do today? And tagged 3 things.

No such thing as never. No such thing as never? Things I’ve been thinking about →. The new 101 things in a 101 days challenge. Reduced. May 30, 2014. After a weekend in sunny Madrid, I have come back to London with a bad case of the post-holiday blues. It is not really shifting and I have been waking up wondering why an earth I am choosing to remain in an overcast City that seems to have lost its magic and is a million miles away from the Mediterranean rays and two euro wine. Start with a plan. 11 Beache...

No such thing as never. Things I’ve been thinking about. A big adventure →. What would happen if…. June 18, 2014. This is an afterthought to the previous post. I pressed publish and then I went back to worrying about something or other, and it suddenly struck me that one way of changing things might be to explore other options. To wait, for a second, before doing what I would usually do and ask myself “what would happen if I did x instead”. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. A big adventure →. I...
