After reading Happy by Derren Brown, I was eager to learn more of the philosophy of Stoicism, in which he spoke so much about. After some research, I found The Daily Stoic to be the starting point of many a new Stoic. Within its pages are 366 meditations on wisdom, perseverance, and the art of living, in the form of analysed quotes from great Stoics, such as Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius...

Of me and 2020.
I feel that this year has changed me… that’s a bold statement to make early in this piece, but let’s make that its focus. It was easy to change because I felt so lost. I was something easy to mould because my life and soul had lost its form...
Walks and talks and photography.
Been doing a lot of walking and photography recently. It’s my happy place, to be surrounded by beauty and silence and nature...
The Hunter: Monster Within. A book reborn.

Book Review: Happy by Derren Brown.
It had been a while since I picked up some non-fiction to read, but this book kept me captivated toward the end. It was in my search for a “self-help” book that I stumbled upon Happy.

What I’m reading!
That’s my reading sorted for the next couple of months! I’m beginning to write books reviews for here (and other platforms), first of which, as I have just finished it, is Happy by Derren Brown. Keep an eye out for the review on Sunday! I plan on growing my collection of fiction by indie authors, …
Fiction- Order of Three: Beyond Blood. (Part- 4).
I had no time to record my findings the day before, as discovery forced mind and hand to action. I am awake in a way that I haven’t felt so in a long time. With a new energy and being, I am me, but not. Fate really did call, and I did not find her wanting. Fate entwined shadow, I met it without fear, but absolute purpose...
This Heart.
In times so silent, I have never found life more vibrant. Strands of fate entwined absolute restraint...
Fiction- Order of Three: Beyond Blood. (Part- 3).
I write this with weary eyes. The night before was one again disturbed. Nightmare upon nightmare riddled with question and doubt. What plagues this mind has already taken its toll in the form of monsters wondering my dreams and shadows stalking me through the night. I look to what more could unfold this day… but first, I shall recollect my thought to this page...
Fiction- Order of Three: Beyond Blood. (Part- 2).
Like the night, this descends. It consumes. I am deep in something that I do not know or truly understand...
