Negative space
Negative space is beautiful. The space created by objects around it. It takes on a shape, but there is nothing there. Just space. In reality, you're taking a photo of nothing.

Begin to sort your brain out by doing a SOAP progress report on yourself
According to Dr Lee Warren , a SOAP progress report is what neurosurgeons carry out on their patients. It's an acronym that stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. You're not going to be opening up your skull to poke around in your brain, but you can change the way your brain works (neuroplasticity), and this method is a good start. Here's an explanation of how to do a SOAP report…
Then I might blog a bit more.
It's my birthday soon. I'll be getting a new camera. Well. An old camera. Quite old, actually. But then I might blog a bit more.
I don't know whether to blog or not
It's been a while. Something might be drawing me back. But I'm not sure what that something is. Or if I'm actually just bored. No. I'm not bored. So what is it?
Why I like books to have short chapters
I suddenly decided I would read a novel. It will be good for me, especially in these horrible winter months. So I have acquired the first of Richard Osman's books: The Thursday Murder Club. I have read the first chapter out of over one hundred. I like a book with short chapters. I recently began a different book, not fiction, and its chapters are around 30 pages in length. That's too long, and…
Low Power Mode is helping me through winter
Life has felt a little overwhelming as of late. Looking back through my scattered journal entries, it appears that around this time each year things start feeling a little stressful. It's the autumn/winter time that does it for me, and so many others I'd imagine. The days grow shorter and colder, and in my line of work (or vocation) things start to get incredibly busy. So what's helped me in the…
I'm a blogger, not a writing machine
So, you'll be happy to hear that I quit Medium. It was getting burdensome. It's a pleasant place to write in terms of aesthetics, but that's about it, really. There was a time when I was earning over £100 every month, for a few months. But in the end the pressure of having to keep up the quantity and quality of writing proved too much. That's not what blogging should be. And that's why I've quit,…

This is me experimenting with a photo-hosting solution...
Reasons why I should blog through the rest of my life
Hello Bear world. I figured I would blog again. I am inspired to blog through the rest of my life, however long it lasts for. Because, why not? I can think of more reasons why I should than why I shouldn't. So here we go. Reasons why I should blog through the rest of my life: It will be interesting to look back on. Writing is good for my brain. Writing helps me think things through more clearly.…
I am the harbour
I am the harbour, still and steady, rooted beneath the tides. Thoughts pass through me like weather: some soft as wind, some loud as storm, but none of them are me. I do not merge with the wave. I do not become the ship. I let them come, and I let them go. Others may carry winds of their own, but I do not have to sail their seas. I stay here. Present. Anchored. Me.
