The Northern 📍

Landing in China, something struck me. Within 2 minutes of being here, in a foreign country, my eyes picked up on something that seemed so strange. And yet, when said out loud, it seems like such an obvious statement.      Everybody is Chinese.        The entire country, constructed out of the same people. An entire nation, build around those who have been here for centuries. A people, which have called this land their home since before the Qing Dynasty united the country for the first time.      And yet, I couldn’t help but wonder- Why are my own people not allowed to do the same? Why is it, that my ancestors, are forced to mix and mingle? Why is it that my homeland, my home country, is forced to accept millions upon millions of foreigners, who do not care nor share my values?        The more time I spent thinking about this question, the angrier I became. Having spent my whole life, being fed a lie from those in p...

  The Start.      Finding a path to move forward on can be one of the best ways to begin. A ship with a favourable wind, helps it reach its destination. The ability to have guidance and direction, in a world full of noise, is a beautiful gift to say the least.      Helping others and being of service is one of the greatest ways to give back to humanity. The ability to work at something, to help others, will be the beginning of a better world. We all make choices in this life which help lead to the increase or demise of the planet. From what we eat, to how we speak. From what we chase, to what we ignore. Our impact here on Earth and society are greater than we can ever possibly imagine. We are powerful beyond measure.      Creating change can be difficult. Change is a habit which is tough to break. However, it is not impossible. Finding a will and a passion for the direction in which we are headed is the best way to unlock the power withi...

  We’re definitely in a recession.      It’s finally coming to light, clear as day. Here, in the West- it’s recession-o’clock.      Things are just out of control. And to be honest, I don’t see how they’re going to come back down. I suppose I’m a debbie-downer, always ragging about how bad things are, but this is something I simply do not understand. Which makes sense. I hated Economics. I found it to be such a waste of time. Backwards-ass psychology, trying to predict the future using some bullshit methodology, expanding on X & Y. Just not my thing, if I’m being honest.      Looking around for a place to live is insane. How any individual is expected to fork out 2-3k a month simply for a place to sleep, is bananas. Not only that, but the fact that you never get to be at home in the first place, because you need to work 12-hour shifts just to afford it. Insanity. Then there’s food. Don’t even get me started on that one. At this point...
