Whoa, my blog is still alive! Even after I haven’t fed it in such a long time. That’s pretty cool, it’s like a cactus I tell you.

Aaaaany how, you can pretty much ignore my last post about the RPG character, that’s quite stupid, real life is way more complicated and interesting (if you want it to be) than any RPG game you could come up with, so screw that.

I’m going to try to write here more often, so if there is anyone still out there. Whatever.

Just some quick news about myself. I’m going to be moving overseas to Bristol, England! Woot! Exciting

The reason for the move?

I just feel like  it’s time for me to experience something new to live and work overseas for a little while. Im 25 now and I’ve lived all my life in Cape Town, South Africa, barring a 2 week holiday a long time ago in Spain, Portugal and Madeira (where my mother grew up). So it feel it’s time to get a bit of World experience while I still don’t have any big responsibilities and commitments to keep me here.

Don’t get me wrong though, I’ll definitely be coming back. I love it here in Cape Town, eventually want to settle down here, but at the moment it just feels like the right move to make for both my personal and professional development.

Wish me luck!

I found out about this blog post from readsaid. Old guy thinking is a brilliant post, by Mark Hanington, about lessons “learned after 36 years of being a father, 33 years as a teacher…”
Absolute must read

I read a deep and insightful post today from Life 2.0 called Perspectives on Psychotherapy, which I recommend you all read. One quote they mentioned that struck a chord with me.

From a lecture by Wolter Keers in Gent (sent to me by Ray Sender) -

I had a meeting yesterday evening with a group of psychiatrists and psychologists. There I defended the proposition that there is only one psychic obstacle and that you can reduce all of psychology and psychotherapy, and all psychiatry to that one obstacle. That one problem is that we have forgotten that we are love.

…

Love cannot be given to anyone, you cannot get love; you can’t make water wet, because water is wetness. Neither can anyone give you love, no one can receive love from you, you can only recognize love in yourself and you can recognize love in others.

There’s more, but head on over to the original post to check out the rest.

Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Wow, this is a great one.

Self-consciousness is the enemy of all art, be it acting, writing, painting, or living itself, which is the greatest art of all.
